I am the queen of shopping on a budget.
I wish I could buy $100 dollar jeans or a $250 jacket or even a $50 cardigan.
But I can't and honestly I refuse.
Two reasons:
First off, I'm a student and work part time with no help from the parents.
I make little to no money and can't spend a paycheck on one item of clothing.
Second, I get bored of clothes VERY quickly.
I would rather buy a cheap clothing piece so when I get rid of it a few months later I don't feel guilty.
Also with cheaper alternatives you can try pieces you normally wouldn't.
Through out my years I have found out that you can look good no matter what price you pay.
Of course you are paying for the quality when buying expensive but like I have said no need for me there. I do a full closet cleaning of clothes every few months....because of boredom, so quality means less for me...
One day however I hope to be able to afford nice things, but until then, I'm happy with the clothing choices I make today :)
This whole outfit cost me less than $50.
White Shirt: TJ Maxx.
Sweater: Kohl's
Pants: F21
Shoes: Payless
Watch: Kohl's
Earrings: Wet Seal
I am excited for this year to begin.
I was worried with school starting next week, but I'm here to inform you I'm now excited.
This weekend I changed my major. Yep. It's true. I only had 7 classes left to take ( 5 I am taking this semester ) but was told last week I couldn't get any funding in the summer when I would finally graduate.
With the news I realized I wouldn't graduate till Fall and with that, I decided to change my major into something I am more passionate about.
Interpersonal Speech Comm.
It's the most PERFECT major for me.
It's directed towards non-profit, small business and fund raising.
After crying my eyes out knowing I would have to wait longer to have a degree, I am now thankful.
I have to take two extra classes, but it will be well worth it.
I would rather spend more time in school ending with something I am passionate about instead of graduating sooner with a degree that doesn't spark my interest.
After this change I have a new perspective on this up and coming year.
I won't let anything defeat me.
I will find the good and positive in everything and by doing this everything will work out for the better.
At the end of the day I have to be proud that I have never given up and now after years of changing majors I have finally settled on one that I know will bring me the most happiness.
It's quite a feeling.
Love you All!!!
XOXO.
