Back To School Style x Grid Print

It's late August, and you know what that means. Cue school bells and bustling kids. School is back in session. Let me tell you something, when I was first starting out in highschool, I was petrified. Moving from a middle school to a high school full of pretty much adults was the scariest thought to me. Did I look okay? Was my outfit okay? Did my hair look good? I'm pretty certain a lot of young people on their first days of school have these thoughts rushing through their little heads, contantly critiquing and worrying themselves over minute, surface details that no one really pays attention to except themselves. If you were not, or currently are not one of those people, then I congragulate you! You've mastered an element of humanity that we all go through called insecurity. That's a rare skill, and you should celebrate your dexterous skills of being human.
However, if you are or were like me then hurray! That's OK too. It's natural to be a frantic little puppy when going to school, because let's face it, school -especially high school- isn't the most comfortable or safest place for young adults who are growing, changing and expressing themselves. Kids are mean, and trust me, I know.
But you are in luck because I'm here, about to drop some valuable information on your little minds. I wish I knew future me when I was a tiny, fourteen year old freshman in a school full of piranhas. I wish I could have told myself HEY!, high school really isn't all that cool and you should be confident and nonchalant about it! Because it's not worth it to be self conscious and fuss over your fellow highschoolers opinions of you. In 3 years, you'll be outta there, and trust me, everyone is going to forget about their high school drama and/or so called enemies that they made there, because high school is just a minor phase in life. College (and the rest of your future!) is so much more exciting, and I guarantee you bad feelings accumulated during high school won't matter when you're 18 and graduating from that prison. (can you tell I hated highschool...??? oops.)

Anywho I put together a little back 2 escuela outfit and I hope you luv it.

back to school Muji style by aurevoircat featuring birch home decor

And voila! Here it is. If I actually had a school to show up to, I would wear this. Grid print is really fun and just so happens to be all the rage in the fashion world right now. The one's I've included above are $35 dollars and if you follow my polyvore link you can find them. The combination of this look with some cool strawberry socks will shout COOL KID as if it's written on your forehead. Okay not really, because that would be embarrassing.
This look is effortlessly cool, and the white Doc Marten 1461's go with anything and everything under the sun, such a good investment.
Don't forget your notebook, pens, paper, and colored pencils that I've included above, all from MUJI and extremely affordable. MUJI is my newest obsession. Who would've thought minimalism would be so fun?

I hope you enjoyed this look. Feel free to leave your opinions and/or first day experiences with me!

Summer Looks: Cotton Candy Queen

cotton candy by aurevoircat featuring denim shorts

Put together a little summer inspiration for you all. I haven't posted in a little while so here ya go!!!!!!

This look will hopefully encourage you to play with funky colors, patterns and textures no matter who you are or what you're dressing for!

The shorts and button up will give you coolness in this summer heat, while the jacket is cute and cozy enough to keep you warm from the breeze.

ALSO: My newest obsession are WATCHES. I recently bought a $1 watch from the flea market (it doesn't work!!! lol) but it's my favorite accessory to pair along with rings. It adds a really sophisticated look. Bonus points for wearing it mid wrist with the dial facing you like its the 80's.

Last but not least check out these freaking sunglasses. They're like, screeeaming 60's flowerchild to me right now.

Hope it inspires your inner girly girl to come out and play.
