summertime sadness


















There's like 8,000 pictures in this post woohooooooo. This is the best outfit to wear if you want to walk out of your house wearing pajamas, but still look cute. That doesn't seem to make much sense but if feels like you're wearing pajamas. Although the shorts are tight, you could wear looser fitting shorts if you would like. Pairing an oversized flannel with any type of t-shirt, in my case cropped and cut, can be the comfiest thing in the world and you don't have to look sloppy. Red and blue flannel go with about anything and they are very easy to find, at many stores flannel shirts tend to be around $40 or more. They look cute, but do you REALLY want to spend that much money on a shirt? Yeah you will probably get your money's worth out of it, so go ahead and splurge but an even better way to find a cute and oversized flannel is at a thrift store. Most thrift stores carry tons of flannel shirts, all year round. You just have to dig during the spring and summer :) These shirts are usually priced at most $9, much better than $40 right? Thrifting is always a great thing. For t-shirt, it doesn't have to be cut or cropped, you can just tuck it into your shorts/pants, or just leave it. If you want a cut and cropped one like mind but don't want to go out to the mall and look for hours, you can go to your local craft store (Michael's Arts&Crafts is near where I live) and buy any color t-shirt. Most craft stores sell them for at most $5. If you want it cropped or the sleeves cut off, you can always DIY it. It is extremely easy and if you want to learn how to do it, you can YouTube it, there are plenty of videos. I actually bought mine cropped and cut already, but it was only $2.95 so why on earth would I not buy it?! High waisted shorts in most stores can be very expensive, many are around $60. I got mine for $5.99 at Good Will. It is fairly easy to cut jeans into shorts, if you want to learn, again just YouTube it there are a large variety of videos on how to make all different kinds of shorts. If you really want to know about my socks I got them from Claire's in a pack of five with all of the other boys' names on them if you know what I'm talking about. Yes I'm wearing socks that say "L<3VE LOUIS". Yes I am a fan of One Direction. Yes you don't care. I can never go the cheap way for shoes, those are the items I am always open to spend my money on. To me shoes are very different from clothes. I would prefer not to buy shoes from a thrift store because you never know who's feet those were on. I don't mean spend thousands on shoes but going to Target over Good Will for shoes is definitely the better choice. Converse are some of my favorite shoes and I spend my money on them because I know I will get a good wear out of them. However, knock off shoes from Target or any other stores are great too, you'll be surprised what cute shoes they have at places you never expected. I also have an obsession with high socks or ruffle socks with any shoes. I have been wearing my hair up in a bun like this quite often lately because it's extremely easy. It looks cute and you don't have to worry about doing your hair. It's basically a twist bun where you twist your hair then wrap it and secure it with a hair binder. Don't even listen to what I just said I can't explain anything correctly without making it sound much more complicated than it really is. This hair style goes along perfectly with the lazy yet cute look this outfit provides. I think this outfit is perfect for any fall, spring, or cool summer day (or winter depending on wear you live). It's also perfect for summer nights.
