MASSIVE Clothing Haul: Summer Purchases

 Woohoo! I'm back from hiatus! :D  It was, indeed, longer than than the 1 week I originally estimated.  Oops.  (Clearly, college was kicking my ass. Haha.)

Anyway, I thought that since I got all this new stuff, I may as well post about it. Narcissistic? Materialistic? Somewhat, yes; that's the way most haul posts go. *shrug*.... HERE'S ALL THE STUFF I GOT THIS SUMMER~! :D

(Feel free to just scroll through & look at pics: the text is just my rambling~)

 Store: Plato's Closet
 
 (My mum actually got this for me! :3  It's amazing how good mothers are at shopping for their kids, even once they're 'grown up'. <3 )

-

Store: H&M

(Meh.  I'll actually like this dress more once I completely lose that paunch, I'm sure. :/ *pokes at belly* Luckily, it's mostly gone now~.)

-

Store: Plato's Closet

(Another dress my mum brought home for me!  I really reaallyy like the 'lace' type pattern of the collar and how bright the red is.  I still haven't quite figured out how to wear this, though.  As in, with what bottom, if any, what shoes, etc.)

-

Store: ?? (Gifted from my aunt)

(So yeah, my auntie in New York gave me this dress when I visited during my vacation in NY.  I'm not sure I like how much... cleavage this shows. >.> )

-

Store: H&M

(So I saw this dress and decided I needed it.  Despite the fact that it is a size too small. D:  I'm now pondering whether or not I'll be giving it to my lil' sis, who is thinner and taller and overall more model-y than me. *sniffle* And I really like this dress, too...)

-

Store: ?? (gifted by my aunt)

(So yeah, this dress is from that same, aforementioned aunt in NY.  Again, I'm not sure about the amount of cleavage I'm showing, but what is more engaging is this dress' length.  If I do keep it, I am thinking about removing that little bit of fabric at the bottom. I don't know.... Check out the pic below, to see what I mean~.)

-

Store: Plato's Closet

(I.... have been wearing this dress frequently. It's very versatile~.  I have worn it with flats, heels, and all manners of kinds of shoes.  I've also worn it with a simple, ruffled black skirt underneath, to add a bit of length and a novel look at the bottom.  It even looks good with a belt at the waist! <3  And finally, the little hood it has is so cute!)

-

Store: Plato's Closet

(Have I mentioned how awesome my mother is? Because she also bought me this dress!  I'm still trying to figure out how to make an outfit with this, but I've had a few good ideas already. :D )

-

Store: Plato's Closet

(Boy, it sure seems like I spent my entire summer at Plato's Closet, eh?  Actually, I only went three times, but I bought several pieces on each day.  Anyway, I got this striped shirt/dress because I really like the breast-pocket: I don't see too many of them on women's clothing.  However, I really have no idea of how to style this. :/ )

-

Store: H&M

(Wow. Okay, so as much as I rarely visited Plato's Closet, I do go to H&M at least once a week. Haha.  I'm just totally enamoured with their stuff!  And this is my first... long cardigan/jacket thing.  Everyone else I know has, like, four of these already, but I was late in finding one I liked.)

-

Store: Plato's Closet

(Wow. Plato's Closet again.... haha.  Back on subject, though, I actually do not like this shirt. :/  This type of ensemble/2-piece shirt looks great on most everyone I know, but I do not think it's my style.)

-

Store: Goodwill

(So yeah, I was in Goodwill-- which is a thrift/ 'secondhand' store-- with my mum, and as usual, I wandered off to go look at the clothing.  I am a plaid addict, and as such, this shirt entered my wardrobe.  It's actually originally from H&M, so the deal was even sweeter~.  Also... yes. It's a bit tight. Haha.  Here's to losing that 5-10 lbs. soon!)

-

Store: Macy's

(I love Macy's. Unfortunately, I can't afford to spend all my $$ there. Especially when they have shoe sales.... Oh! This shirt was actually on Sale so I got it for, like, 40% off? I really like how soft the material is and the shades of green~. [Again, ignore my summertime belly.  I've already lost 5 lbs since a month ago, so hopefully you won't see it in any future pics.])

-

Store: Plato's Closet

(I've always wondered what this type of skirt would look like on me.  I now know the answer: not too bad. Eh.)

-

Store: H&M

(I bought this skirt on the same day I got that one-sleeved orange dress from H&M!  I must have been in the mood for warm colours.)

-

Store: H&M

(So these pants were on clearance, and I'm always up for pants with big, cargo pockets.  These look best tucked into a pair of boots, in my opinion. Well, better than with other shoes, anyway...)

-

Store: Plato's Closet

(Guess who got these for me? That's right: my mother! <33  The heels are crazy high, too!)

-

Store: T.J. Maxx

(So yeah. my mom actually gave me these from her closet when she was doing her annual 'shoe inventory'. Haha.  Since she's trying to stick to shoes with more support/lower height, she ended up seeing if I wanted these. Hell yes, mom!)

-

Store: Plato's Closet

(These were also given to me by my mother.  Her shoe inventory ended up being a shoe lottery for me~.  I really love this powdery, periwinkle blue.  Especially with the touches of ivory/cream.)

-

Store: Goodwill

(Hm-- I believe these were originally from Charlotte Russe? Meh, in any case, I somewhat liked the idea of lace over a lighter colour.  I am not so fond of those huge, velvet bows on the front. *shudder*)

-

Store: Plato's Closet

(USD $4 for a pair of AE flip flops?  I was all over this deal. 8) They're a mite uncomfortable if worn too long, but I don't do a whole lot of walking when I wear these out.)

-

Store: ?? (My mum's closet?)

(So yeah, I kept borrowing these boots from my mom until eventually, she stopped noticing, and I just left them in my own closet. 8)  I love these for their comfort as well as those adorable buckles and straps.)

And that's all, folks!  I'll see you next time with a lens review! (and then a giveaway, then a lens review, then a store review, and then a lens review, etc.)

((I'm going to sleep now, but I'll spend tomorrow catching up on everyone else's blogs. <33))

    ....Actually, you did quite well for being gone for little over a week, this haul is flipping AMAZING! Can I borrow your mother? I can't believe all the great pieces she found for you!!! *_____* Not to mention her incredible shoe collection wtff The T.J.Maxx shoes are SOOOOOOOOOOOOO cute! Screw it, I'm kidnapping your mommy. :DDD

    Is Plato's Closet like a thrift store? Guhhhh whatever it is, I wish there was one near me so I can dress as fabulously as you *___* <333

    - Orange dress: YOU'RE KEEPING THAT!! You look super gorgeous in that dress, don't give it to your sis!!! :O
    - Lace dress: I definitely think you should chop off the excess fabric on the bottom. It's more flattering to your body, which is adorable btw. Fuck, I wish I was as small as you so I can at least feel comfortable wearing skirts! ;O I gotta stop eating all them dunkaroos and donuts!! :333
