So, now you've seen what I'm wearing for Week 4 of my school. I really like planning out all my outfits/hair/makeup in advance, because it gives me free time and I don't have to worry about not knowing what to wear. Mmkay, I gotta go to sleep now. Byee!

Week 4 School Outfits

lundi, mardi, mercredi

Yes, I have Week 4 of School Outfits. I basically wore everything I said I was going to last week, with a few different choices in footwear and I forgot that there was no school on Friday. However, this is a whole school week coming up soon and I'm actually really excited for my Monday outfit. I couldn't find any graphic tee that matched with the one that I was going to wear, so I just went with a normal generic graphic tee. I also went shopping, so there are a few new clothes in my closet. But I also feel guilty, because I spent $70 on 11 items, which is pretty good when you actually think about it.

Monday: Graphic Tee from Urban Planet- $8
H&M SQIN Dark Wash Skinny Jeans from H&M- $12.65
Laguna Black Flip-Flops from Wal-Mart- $4

The graphic tee I'm wearing says: "Practice Safe Lunches. Use a condiment."
It is ABSOLUTELY hilarious, lol! I love it so much. It's a baseball tee style with shorter sleeves, reaching your elbow. It's skimpy material, but it doesn't show my skin through it or anything, so it's good. The contrasting colour to the white is a dark flat red, so it's not bright and people can focus on the adorable picture. I love this shirt so much and I'm really glad I got it for $8

total outfit: $24.65

Tuesday: Black Cardigan with Pockets from Urban Planet- $0.01 (on an awesome sale!)
Loose Blue Flowy Tank from Bluenotes- $5 (but is my sister's, so I didn't buy it)
Light Wash Straight Jeans from Urban Planet- $10
Flats with Gromets from Ardene- $12.50

I've worn this outfit before and I got a lot of compliments. People were telling me how cute I looked all day and due to the success, lol, I'm gonna wear the same thing on Tuesday. I'm not really sure yet about the jeans though. The light wash jeans that I'll wear might contrast too much with the overall darkness, so if that actually happens, I'll just wear a pair of dark wash jeans, either my godsend pair of H&M jeans or my pair of dark jeggings. The flats are really cute and I think it goes well with the whole outfit, tying it together.

total outfit: $27.51

Wednesday: teal baseball tee from Urban Planet- $3
black tank top from Ardene- $7.50
medium wash bootcut jeans from Old Navy- no idea. It was already in my closet, lol.
Blue Stars converse-style shoes from Express- $7.50

This teal baseball tee is totally pissing me off. It's really hard to wear, because it is so translucent! It makes me so mad, because I have to wear a nude bra and even then, it still shows through. I've decided to wear it with a black tank top under, otherwise you'll be able to see my bra full-on. The black tank top doesn't make it look very good, but it's better than a white tank top. For some reasons, all my white tank tops show up really well under this baseball tee and that just won't do. At least with the black tank top, it's not very obvious, thank God. I'm wearing this with one of my favorite pair of jeans- a pair of bootcut-ish jeans that hug my butt and actually fill it out, because I have no butt whatsoever.

total outfit: $18

jeudi, vendredi


Thursday: blue plaid shirt from Bluenotes- $16
Dark jeggings from Urban Planet- $8
White/Blue sneakers- didn't buy it

I'm going for a cool and collected look for Thursday, with a cute plaid shirt that'll be buttoned most of the way, with one button unbuttoned for good measure. I wear this plaid shirt at least once a week, because I love it so much. It's comfy for one thing and it looks really good and casual when the sleeves are rolled up. I'm going for a pair of sneakers with a pair of dark skinny jeans, because this plaid shirt doesn't look good when worn with lighter coloured jeans.

total outfit: $24

Friday: Graphic sweater from Ardene- $7.50
Distressed skinny jeans from Bluenotes- $12
Purple flip-flops from Old Navy- $3

This graphic sweater is one of the new ones that I bought on my recent shopping trip. It's absolutely adorable and it's actually really comfy. The sleeves are well-made and it's sticks to your arm lightly, so it's not too loose yet too restricting. I also like the hem on the bottom, almost making it look like there's another layer. This graphic sweater has a girl's face on it with a tattoo of a heart on her cheek and then it says, "I don't need anything (but you)" and it's really cute. Because it's also sort of grungy, I paired with it with a pair of distressed skinny jeans to further the edgy look. To add a pop of colour along with those tattooed hearts that are the only pop of colour so far, I added a pair of purple bright flip-flops. Comfy and great for hanging out.

total outfit: $22.50

total outfits from the entire week: $116.66

Week 3 School Outfits

monday tuesday


This is my Week 3 school outfits and although I've only been in school for 2 weeks, I already love my class and the people in them. Sure, my math teacher totally sucks, but dude, I'm having lots of fun. I was also complaining about how none of my best friends were in the class but now that I look at it, it gives me more of a chance to branch out and make more friends. In Gr. 8, I always stuck with Wendy, because she's one of my best friends, but I never got the chance to know other people in my class very well. There also weren't a lot of girls that I liked and there were around 12 girls in my class. I only liked 6 of them, so.. now I have 14 girls in my class and they're all really nice, except for one here and there.

monday:
Obama tee from Urban Planet- $5
Grey oversized cardigan from Urban Planet- $7.25
Light wash skinny jeans from Urban Planet- $10
Turquoise flip flops from Old Navy- $3

Wow, is it me or do I seem like an Urban Planet groupie, lol? Anyways, this is the Monday look and I like it, because it's simple. I may wash the cardigan, because it honestly is pretty humongous. Hopefully, the washing machine will shrink the cardigan. It shrunk my other oversized one and although it looked really good before, it looks even better now because it's smaller. The skinny jeans are a little bit too big for me, so I'll probably fold them up.

total outfit: $25.25

tuesday:
Blue plaid shirt from Bluenotes- $16
Grey v-neck striped shirt from Joe Fresh- $4.95
SQIN dark wash skinny jeans from H&M- $12.65
Blue converse-style shoes from Express- $10

I'm going to be handing in my resume on Tuesday to 7-11 and I also have a volunteer session, so I want to look casual yet presentable. I remember when I asked for an application I was wearing an oversized school t-shirt and mud-caked distressed skinny jeans. Not very cute, so I want to fix that by wearing something like this, where I look like I actually tried. At school, I'll probably wear the plaid shirt more as a cover-up/cardigan and have it unbuttoned, so people can see the striped shirt more clearly. It's a more boyish less-fitted look, so it's very nice and casual. For the volunteer session and handing in my resume, I'll probably button it all the way up, leaving 1 button unbuttoned. The shoes from Express are very American, but I'm Canadian, lol. I just like this pair of shoes, even though it takes a REALLY long time to untie. It's annoying.

total outfit: $43.60

wednesday, thursday, friday

wednesday:
grungy band tee from unknown: was already in my closet
white tank top from Urban Planet: $3
black jeggings from Urban Planet: $12.50 (i got them for 8 bucks)
white sneakers: already had them

This is the grungy look that I posted already. I just couldn't find the shirt over again. I really like this outfit, because I feel it's another side. It's important not to limit yourself to 1 style, so I try to vary my styles. Preppy, casual, athletic, grungy, etc. You can find band tees everywhere and I suggest getting one of the smaller ones, the ones that would show your stomach slightly if you wore it without a tank top. Those are the super cute ones and don't overwhelm your body.

total outfit: $15.50
total outfit with sale price: $11

thursday:
red shirt from Abercrombie and Fitch: already in my closet, did not buy it
white tank top from Urban Planet: $3
black cardigan from Urban Planet: $0.01 (was on sale and I don't know what the original price was)
light wash skinny jeans from Urban Planet: $10
flats with gromets from Ardene: $12.50

It's Red and White day at my school and basically, it's like a Canada/Welcome Day to our school and it leads to the Canada Dance. I'm not going to the dance, but I love spirit days. I have this old school Abercrombie and Fitch long-sleeve tee that's probably AT LEAST 5 years-old and fits me well. Paired with a white tank top and black pocket cardigan, it's a really cute spirit look. I would still wear it even if it wasn't spirit day. I was just kind of saving it for this day. I paired with light skinny jeans to lighten up the outfit, because dark wash skinny jeans would be too much. To complement the dark cardigan, I'll be wearing these AHDORABLE flats I got from Ardene. I love them to death, seriously.

total outfit: $25.51

friday:
Love Runs Deep v-neck tee from Ardene: $5
Black faux fur jacket from Urban Planet: $10 (was a gift, so I didn't pay for it)
SQIN dark wash skinny jeans from H&M: $12.65
FILA athletic jogging shoes: was not bought by me and I have no idea how much it costs

On Friday, I would usually wear something more casual, but I decided on this look. It combines an athletic and warm look, so it works really well. The jacket's a little bit too small for me and the v-neck is longer, so it creates a really cute almost cropped look. I'll wear dark wash skinny jeans with this look to go with the dark jacket and the athletic shoes are just there for comfort. They don't look very good and this look would probably be cute with a pair of PUMA jogging shoes, but I really like them and they're good for slipping in and out quickly.

total outfit: $27.65

TOTAL WEEK OF OUTFITS: $137.51

Exercise

Yes, I do in fact exercise. Just so you know my stats: I'm 14, 5'2, 105 lbs, and I have a BMI of 19.2. My stats make me sound fairly skinny but trust me, I'm not. I look on TV and there are these gorgeous skinny women, but the one who's body I constantly envy is Alyson Michalka. I know, weird, considering you don't get to see her body much, but seriously, pop on Hellcats and you will see her amazing abs like 24/7. You see her abs and your jaw will drop, because they are so amazing. I'd like to get abs like that one day.

Here is my fitness plan that I use to maintain my weight:

Monday: 15 minutes strength training in the morning
10 minutes strength training later
20 minutes of Couch to 5k (but will go up as the times extend)

Tuesday: 15 minutes strength training in the morning
10 minutes strength training later
20 minutes of Couch to 5k

Wednesday: 15 minutes strength training in the morning
15 minutes strength training later
15 minutes of hard running

Thursday: 15 minutes strength training in the morning
10 minutes strength training later
20 minutes Couch to 5k

Friday: 15 minutes strength training in the morning
10 minutes strength training later
20 minutes walking my dog

I do 45 minutes of exercise 5 days a week, excluding Gym and walking, to maintain my weight. I lost 9 lbs over the summer and although I don't want to lose anymore weight, I still want to get a better figure. Is that even possible? Like to lose fat without losing weight? Hmm, maybe I should float off to Yahoo Answers. Yes, I want a flat stomach, but doesn't every girl? Well, probably not, but whatever. I try to eat around 1200 calories every day, but today, I ate 1700 calories, which is kind of crazy. ANYWAYS, this is what I'll do until it starts getting colder and it starts snowing, until I can't even run outside anymore, because that would suck.
