Back to School Wishlist

This is my awesome back to school wishlist. I don't wish many times, but when I do, it's a lot and most of times, I can't get it. That's why it's a wishlist. If only I had a fairy godmother... wouldn't that be the life, huh? I might even print this out when I go back to school shopping, IF I go back to school shopping. However, the stores I go to have so many little gems hidden in the clearance part that I wouldn't be able to just pick up the things I wanted.

1. Bluenotes As Amazing as Me graphic tee: $8- look to side
This is such an adorable graphic tee! I really need a legit cutesy graphic tee, seeing as I have none. Now that Bluenotes is having a Buy 1, Get 1 50% off, this is a perfect time to get myself 2 graphic tees.

2. Bluenotes Cherry Blossom graphic tee: $8 (normal price) $12 (combined with other graphic tee)
This is a BEAUTIFUL graphic tee! I love this so much. It's a v-neck, so it's not going to be like clinging to your collarbone, which I find so annoying. The sleeves are a little short for you, but you can always layer with a long-sleeve shirt underneath or a cute cardigan to dress it up. I would honestly wear this everyday. I saw a 'dupe' for it at Joe (Superstore), but it was like $12. The dupe is prettier, I suppose, but only slightly. They're both really gorgeous and I'm seriously gonna cry if this isn't at my Bluenotes.

3. Bluenotes Solid Cardigan with Epaulets in Oatmeal- $25
This is such a cute cardigan! Seriously cardigans is a STAPLE in your wardrobe. I only have 2 cardigans, so honestly I need more. I have a super long black cardigan, a striped blue cardigan, and now I need a grey cardigan. I love this colour because it's slightly white but the grey gives it a more casual non-blinding look. The buttons are also really cute and they look almost vintage. I hope I can find this cardigan for cheaper at Urban Planet or something. Otherwise, I'll have to let this cardigan go, cause I'm not paying 25 bucks for a cardigan. Yeah, I'm a scrooge, lol.

4. Garage Anything is Possible tee: $10
Garage has some really great graphic tees. They're not the cute stuff that you see everybody wearing around, but they have a slightly more grungy yet feminine look around it. Their material isn't all that great, so you would probably have to wear a tank or a cami underneath, but that could really look good and add more to the outfit. This should be on the sale rack, although I believe all Garage tees are $10. Garage stuff is always figure-hugging, so I'd buy it in a larger size and then scrunch it up a little bit. A slouchy tee, no matter how little it is, is really cute.

5. Garage Slim Flare Jeans: $15
I LOVE jeans. They're all I ever wear to school, unless I'm feeling lazy that day and decide to wear a pair of slouchy jogging pants to school. I don't normally like flare jeans, but these are really cute. Not to mention, I really need a pair of jeans that are a NORMAL colour for jeans. I have a lot of dark blues and light blues for my jeans, but never just a normal colour. Also, these are super cheap and they were cut down from $35 dollars at Garage, so you're saving 20 bucks on a pair of really cute jeans that you could wear anywhere.

6. Garage Skinny Jeans: $10
I honestly have never owned a pair of legit skinny jeans. I own straight-cut jeans that kind of look like skinny jeans, but I need to own a pair of legitimate skinny jeans that will actually hug my legs. I'm really short and skinny legs are supposed to make you look shorter, but I've seen a lot of short people wear skinny jeans and they look perfectly fine. This is also only $10, so it's a perfect pair of skinny jeans to get if you've never gotten one before. Urban Planet also has some great jeans for $10 in the clearance section and there are seriously at least 50 jeans there and I'm not exaggerating. Most of the jeans there are really nice, but some are garish colours. Who cares?! They're cheap as hell.

7. Ardene Long-Sleeve Top: $15
A cute long-sleeve slouchy top is a MUST! This is more like a sweatshirt than a top, honestly, so this would look great with a pair of skinny jeans or denim shorts. It would even look good with a pair of slouchy jogging pants, rolled up into capris, if you're going for the casual almost lazy look. Wear this with a pair of flip-flops and OMG, cute outfit! I can't wait to get something similar to this. I really hope the Ardene I go to will have this, because honestly, it's adorable!

8. Joe Fresh Striped Tee: $4.94
Okay, so I couldn't find a striped tee on Joe's website, but I got an Urban Planet one that's kind of close. The striped tee is green and there's no lame pocket. I have about 2 striped tanks and 1 striped shirt that have the ugliest sleeves ever, but I need a striped shirt that I can wear around without a cardigan or a hoodie everywhere. It's also really cheap and I'm still contemplating on whether I should get it. I probably won't be able to get a cheaper version anywhere else and it's on clearance, so.. yeah, I'm gonna get it, lol. I GOT IT! That's why it's crossed off.


9. Urban Planet Floral Print Top: $12.50

I honestly have no floral print top, which is kind of crazy. Floral print tops are a little bit too girly for me, but you can wear this floral print top with a pair of skinny jeans to make it more casual. Floral print tops are super cute, although I'm not sure whether I'll even buy this. Don't get me wrong, I love shopping, clothes, looking nice, but this floral top is a little over the top. I think they're supposed to be roses, but they look like strawberries to me, lol.

But I love strawberries, so who cares?

Urban Planet has some really cute stuff and it's my number 1 store that I love to go to. However, I only have like 1 thing that I would buy from it, looking at the online catalog. Besides, the online catalog lies, lol. There's so much more stuff on clearance and it's the best place to get some basic stuff. They're like 3 bucks for a casual v-neck top with a little pocket, 3 bucks for a tank, and DAMN! It is so cheap. Urban Planet, please never change. <3

10. Forever 21 Not In the Mood Tee: $5.99

I probably won't be able to get this tee, because the Forever 21 near me is about 20 minutes away and is only accessible by car, seeing as it's out of the city. Don't worry, I don't live in some stupid hick town, but the stupid BIG-ASS mall is located OUTSIDE the city. Like, what the hell? Gawd. This v-neck tee is so adorable! It's got attitude, but not enough to make the person looking at your shirt to be like, "WTF? LOL You're not like that." Because honestly, when I don't eat breakfast, I get cranky and I get worse than that. Forever 21 clothes are so cute and cheap! It's not as cheap as Urban Planet, but it's sure as hell cuter. I can't wait until I get my license and I'm able to drive there, without my parents or whatever. I also like the red lips, socks, and XOXO, adding a little pop of colour. This would be so cute tucked into a high-waisted skirt or a pair of jeans to go with that cute casual look.

12. Forever 21 Lightweight Plaid Shirt: $13.50

I saw an adorable plaid shirt the last time I went to Urban Planet and it was only $10! I will go back in hopes of finding that adorable plaid shirt. Not to mention, it was red, which is perfect, because no red in my complete wardrobe. If I don't happen to find a plaid shirt that is red or $10, I'll have to go to Plan F. And Plan F=Forever 21, that's for sure. It's $3.50 more and there seems to be no red, but I need plaid. If you can believe it, I have no plaid in my wardrobe. I know, I know, I'm a little late in the whole plaid trend, but I've never been one to follow them the minute they start. I hope they're still in style, because I'm completely in love with them. I'll wear them no matter what. For the longest time, I thought plaid was for country hicks and I apologize for stereotyping, because this is so cute! You can wear it as a cute cover-up, button it up halfway to give it a more casual look, button it all the way for a slightly less but still casual look. Pair it with a high-waisted skirt or skinny jeans with flats or some cute flip-flops. God, it's so versatile.

13. Forever 21 Fab Skinny Jeans: $11.50

It's a Fabulous Find and damn, I have to agree. It only comes in one colour and it's a pretty cheap skinny jean. I like how the dark indigo colour contrasts with the light thread that is used, which makes it so much classier. Skinny jeans (and many others) are so goddamn versatile and I thank the person who started this as a trend. Seriously, going around in skirts all days? No thank you. This would look really cute with a pair of pretty ballet flats, something that's more graphic than the normal metallic flats. I like the graphic flats better, because it adds more interest and pop to your outfit. So, if you ever see a pair of graphic-looking flats out there, pick it up, if it's at a reasonable price.

14. Payless Shoe Source Pivot Lo Skate: $14.99

I really need a good pair of sneakers, because honestly, I'm kind of pathetic when it comes to shoes. I have a pair of old dirty almost-grungy FILA shoes that will come handy for gym, because they're super comfortable and super ugly. I have a pair of flip-flops from Wal-Mart that are wearing out but are so COMFORTABLE! Then, I have another pair of sneakers that pinch my feet slightly, because it's about 1 size too small for me. I like skate shoes, because they're really comfortable and they're okay for trekking across snow when it comes to winter. That is like super important when it comes to shoes, because honestly, you don't wanna wear boots to school and then switch into a pair of flats when you get there. That's just plain weird.

Total: $150.42

That's a lot... I probably won't be able to buy all this stuff, but damn you, I'll try.
