Hey everyone! I went shopping in Soho over the weekend with my birthday money and boy did I buy a lot of things. I went to American Apparel, PINK, Sephora, Forever 21, and Brandy Melville. When I was in American Apparel, the craziest thing happened! Troian Bellisario who plays Spencer Hastings on Pretty Little Liars was there. I, sadly, didn't get a picture but I was freaking out. She is so beautiful in person. I am going to show a few things I got, the rest you will either see either in my Summer Lookbooks (which will be posted next week hopefully!) or in my upcoming posts.
The first thing I got was a Brandy Melville bralette. I got asked the question, "What is the use of a bralette?" For me, Brandy Melville bralettes are really comfortable and they are good for shirts that are sheer. Also if you are wearing an open back shirt/dress, or a cropped muscle t-shirt they are good. It is sold for $19.00 at Brandy Melville and comes in black too.
The next thing I got from Brandy Melville was a blue flannel shirt. I was in need of a flannel shirt because they are so comfortable and you can wear them open or buttoned and they still look good. I like to style with sweats, leggings, and jeans. It was $35.
I had so many gift cards to use at Forever 21 so I bought $90 worth of clothes with only paying a balance of $5 dollars. You should have seen the cashier's face! This is one of my favorite things I got on Saturday. It was $19.80 and it fits really nicely and I loved it. You will definitely see this dress in my lookbook.
I have so many pairs of high waisted shorts, so I needed a pair of regular shorts. Floral is the Summer pattern of 2014 so I thought these shorts were really cute. They fit very well and they are cute with light and bright colors. These shorts were $19.80 from Forever 21.
This crop top is from Forever 21 for $10.80 and it is pretty and great for Summer. I would pair this with either shorts or a skirt depending how you want to dress for the day. Stores like American Apparel sell shirts like this, but if you want a version of it for less, it is definitely worth it to get it at Forever 21.
I got a new bathing suit from PINK. I have never bought a bathing suit from PINK for some reason. I have gotten new bikinis from Target. I know it sounds weird but Target has really cute bathing suits for a good price. PINK ones are really great too. For tops they make sure it fits you by finding your actual size. Since PINK is a store by Victoria's Secret they make sure everything fits well. PINK is also doing this new promotion with the black bandeau top I bought. If you get any swimwear, the bandeau is $10 dollars instead of the normal price of $32. When I found this out, I got bottoms that are black with white pineapples. Black goes with many things. It matches with my other new bathings suits (I'll show them soon!) and it was $10 so it was a good price. If you spend $75 at PINK for this promotion you get a free towel, and I did.
The last thing I am going to show for now is my new cropped muscle t-shirt. It says Cali on it, as in California. Despite living in America, I am on the East Coast and California is on the West Coast so it is 3,000 miles away. I hope to visit it soon though, I would love to go there. This shirt was from Forever 21 $12.80.
Keep a watch out for my new posts coming soon! What do you think of what I got? What is your Summer must-have piece of clothing?
