I love the color of my blouse, which is the main reason why I bought it.  The dark green shade turn my eyes a bright green.  See the picture to the bottom right?  Yes, that's my real eye color (although with a different shirt on a different day...).  However, the blouse wasn't super comfortable.  I had to wear a cami underneath it to stay modest, but it tended to ride up and be too short on my long torso (thank goodness for the cami), as you can see in the picture.  I had to constantly pull it down over my hips.  One thing I do love about this shirt, however, is the fact that it isn't clingy or form fitting.  I also loved the stitching on the blouse.  You can see the picture below.

FabricA cami is a cami.  I prefer Aeropostale's the best.  The only thing about this simple white cami is that it starts to fall low and I jeanseyehave to check every so often to make sure I don't need to pull it up.  I have a long torso, so I like the length of Aeropostale's camis most of all.

I loved the fading on my jeans.  They came in "short", so I didn't have to get them hemmed.  They weren't too long for me.  They're a little "low riding", but other than that, they were comfortable.  I liked their color as well.

My shoes are new.  I love their style, but I wasn't thrilled with how they fit.  As the day dragged on, they tended to cram my toes and the sides of my foot into the front of the shoe.  I've heard they're like that at first until they stretch, so I hope my new Rocket Dogs become more comfortable than they are now.  They're super cute, if that means anything.

Overall, I thought this outfit was cute, but it wasn't the most comfortable.  I preferred yesterday's outfit a little more.

Purple Flowers <3

The outfit I wore for the first day of school is not very "glamorous."  I decided to go for comfortable rather than extremely cute.  After all, a good friend of mine advised me, "Don't worry about what you're going to wear on your first day.  Everyone else is going to be so focused on their own cute outfit, they might not even notice yours."  So I went for a little cute and a lot Flowercomfortable.  Best of all, my outfit was completely modest.

Prices and Origins:
Shirt: Old Navy, $12
Pants: Levi's, Kohl's, $40 (although these are usually on sale at the store.  I got them for $31.)
Shoes: TOMS, $55 (Unfortunately, these TOMS are not being made anymore.  Here is the link to a cute, similar pair.)
Necklace: Okay, this was an expensive accessory because it was a gift from my parents.  You can purchase a similar but less expensive pair of pretend pearls for $6.50 at Charlotte Russe.

Comfortable Factor:
Shirt- 9/10
Pants- 8/10
Shoes- 8/10

Overall, I was very satisfied with this outfit.  It was comfortable and cozy, and I got a lot of Old Navycompliments on the blouse.  Nothing was slipping around or too tight, so I didn't constantly have to worry what I looked like.  Even though it was a simple dark gray, I loved the flowery design towards the top.  It was big enough so that it didn't draw specific attention to a certain part of me, but the design was simple and attractive.  I loved the beading.  I'll go ahead and show you a close up picture of my blouse so you can see the intricate beading designs.  Mind you, these pictures were taken after I got home from school, so I don't look very "fresh."

My new jeans were also very comfortable.  They came in "short" size, so I didn't have to get them hemmed.  I also like the way they fit.  Comfortably and not too tight. 

My shoes were old, but they were as comfortable as always.  I love TOMS.  Even though this specific style of shoes is no longer for sale, I'll go ahead and show you a picture of TOMS shoesmy shoes.  They give facts about "if the world was a village of 100 people", how many would have AIDS, how many would have no shoes, etc.  They're amazing. 

For my hairstyle, I left it down and straight.  I wore some eye makeup, but that's it. 

Perfectly modest, I'm thinking.
