What time is it? Summer time! It's our vacation! Or at least it is for those who get the summer off which includes most students at high schools. I have only been off for about a week now, but I am soooo glad it's summer. I get to relax & do fun things, like going to the beach, camp, hanging out with friends, and other stuff. I also get more frustrated at the silly things in life though fashion is not that silly, but not as serious as homework. I have been really frustrated lately, because I am not able to find any floral pants anywhere for less than $60 (way too much for me). And I am talking about those sort of floral jeans, but there not quite jeans, but not khakis either. I don't want flimsy pants with a floral pattern or leggings with a floral pattern, I want floral patterned jeans! But I don't want to sound like a spoiled brat or anything, it would just be nice if there were some for a good price. Well H&M had some for a good price for awhile, but I did not get down to a store (I do not live near any H&M's) until they were all sold out. Now I am on the quest for reasonably priced floral patterned jeans. I've checked Amazon.com, Urban Outfitters, Forever 21, ModCloth.com, and google. I just can't seem to find anything in my price range. I see them all over the fashion magazines and usually the magazines give you at least one cheap option when they are showing off a type of product, but they're all at least $80 in the magazines. Good tips for the summer: Before wearing a dress you might have bought in the winter or even the fall and you think it will be fine for the summer 1st: check to see if it has a summery pattern or colors (sorry but most purples and browns don't go with summer), 2nd: Wear it outside for about 10 minutes on the day you're planning on wearing the dress and make sure it breathes and actually is comfortable in the heat (pouffy dresses with the netting underneath can get pretty hot, even if they're strapless), and 3rd: Is it easy to wash? Because many days of summer you are outside either near dirt and nature or in a place that is very warm or extremely hot (which can make all of us sweat even if we are women) and have a risk of getting the dress dirty. I recently wore a butterfly dress from Anthropology that has a butterfly print, it's strapless, and it comes to my knees, but it was quite warm. I unfortunately found this out by wearing it to my sister's graduation that was OUTSIDE and even though it was in the morning, it was still very hot. I did not take any of this advice. It was cute, but I think it was something for more of an indoor summer occasion than outdoor. These are some of my friends and I at the graduation. The two girls on the far ends had graduated that day (neither one of them are my sister), it is uniform that girls wear white at their graduation at my school instead of the caps and gowns and guys just wear suits, but sometimes a brave guy (or just a humorous guy will wear a white suit). Please tell me if you find some good priced floral jeans! I'll c'ya later!
