jello-ca: haul

July has been quite a busy month for me (I got a job yay) and hopefully August will be busy as well. I went shopping (gotta reward myself for hard work yo) and found a few items.

So let's start off with what I bought from H&M~

White Lace Crop Top + Black Lace Crop Top

I lovee the design with the lace and solid texture on the sides

I saw these tops for $5 each in the sale section (because that's basically the only place I'll buy clothes) and urgg,
lace plus crop top?? Yesyesyes.

Can't wait to wear them with high waisted pants! I got them a size up so they were more comfortable and a bit longer.

One Piece Leotard??

This shirt is so form fitting that I feel a bit uncomfortable =3= but I thought this would be a nice as a normal t-shirt since I always get annoyed with excess fabric bunching up when I try to tuck shirts inside pants.

There are buttons on the crotch area for bathroom convenience so I kinda feel like a baby in a onesie . . .

Ok so I didn't actually buy the sweater and skirt but I thought they were nice.
The cropped sweater was really cute, but even size small was too chunky and long on the arms. I look like a square wtf. The skirt wasn't high waisted enough and the fabric was too thin.

Black Bomber Jacket

My fave~ Such a nice jacket ;o; Thin and slightly baggy for a comfortable look/feel.

Over the weekend I went to the States and found 2 items from ROSS.

BOZZOLO White Shirt w/ Mesh Stripes

Ever since I saw these shirts for sale on the EMODA website, I've been in loveee with the look. I think the horizontal stripes/sports shirt look is really cute and sporty . . even though I don't like anything sports related. Other than sports anime but that's completely different ;o;

IRIS JEANS Acid Wash High Waist Jeans

This is the second time I've bought Iris Jeans from Ross. 1st pair here. I've been wanting grey acid wash jeans for awhile now. The quality of the jeans is great and they feel very comfortable and stretchy.

pls excuse the messy room

Then I went to Forever21 to get some basics. After watching this video by xteeener on Youtube, I decided to buy a nude cami to cover up while wearing annoying sheer clothing.

White t-shirt, nude cami + grey hat

Cheap basic clothing at F21. Less than $4 each for everything above~
The hat looks horrible on me btw idk maybe it's my nasty hair

Usually I don't buy so much clothing -_- but everything was less than $12 each and there are so many sales going on!! =3=

Since I'm too lazy to edit & upload all my San Francisco pics (yet) I decided to just make a haul post of things that I've bought since January. (pic heavy)

The 1st three items are from Daiso~

HOW ADORABLE ARE THESE SOCKS WTF

The only problem is that I don't have the right shoes to wear them with T-T. They would look cute with flats or any other shoes that are open in the front~

This small, thin hairbrush is really great for short hair or if you have a bob hairstyle. I use it to brush/curl the ends of my hair inwards while drying.

$2 & I needed a thin belt

The next 6 items are from Ross and Marshalls stores in Portland, Oregon.

Floral Top from Ross ~$9

I've always loved florals & sheer/lace tops~ It's also nice that the shirt isn't too long & the bottom has this slight |bubble/poofy| effect.

idk the brand of this shirt since the tag is just a heart

Sheer Black Button Down - Ambiance Apparel $6
This brand is usually found in the store called Papaya, where I also bought another similar shirt.

Blue Hoodie - Cotton On $13

This is seriously the most comfortable hoodie I've ever had. I never want to take it off..

I wish we had Cotton On stores in Canada =3=

High Waisted Distressed/Ripped Jeans - Iris Jeans $13

I'm so glad I tried these on even though the size wasn't my normal size. It fits perfectly ^^

ootd w/ these jeans. They're super comfy~

Black Shorts w/ Zipper detail - HAZE ~$8

Really nice shorts that make your butt look good lol.

Also they're not too low on the hips which is one of the most annoying things about shorts.

Black Pants - BCBG $11

Simple, comfortable black pants that are similar to leggings.

Yes, I had to take this stupid picture & yes you have to look at it.

Another ootd w/ these pants but it's super useless because they look like leggings. Just enjoy my mickey mouse t-shirt & new haircut from 3 months ago lol

Jeggings & Jeans - Reitmans $6 each

These jeggings are super comfortable & the best thing is that they're petite!!

Shorter people know the pain of always trying on jeans that go way below your heel and bunch up around your ankles. =__= Petite sized pants are such a pain to find.

I never really thought to go in that store but my mom dragged me in. Reitmans was having an end of season sale so they were quite cheap (40% off sale price)~

Also what is up with womens pants sizes. Apparently I can wear size 0-7 wtf.

Saturday Trail Str. Long Sleeve Shirt - Columbia Sportswear Company $13

I've been looking for a simple white button up for the longest time and didn't expect to find one in this sportswear store. The quality is really nice (much better than F21, a store that I try to avoid now) and the tags claim to do a lot of useful things.

I guess the only problem with shopping here is that I never play sports or wear sports clothing LOL.. also the sizes are made for women so most of the clothes are too big for teens.

I also got these in Portland at a Columbia outlet store.

Annnd the highlight items of my trip!

Hooded Technical Pop-zup Windcheater (Nautical Navy/Flro Pink) - Superdry $40

Hooded Technical Pop-zup Windcheater (Camo) - Superdry $40

I didn't do a lot of shopping in San Francisco since it was mostly sightseeing but I did go to one mall.
There was a Superdry store in Westfield San Francisco Center where they were having this huge sale (which apparently they don't do often) so I got 2 jackets for $40 each! The original price on the tag was $135.
The first time I'd ever seen this brand was in San Fran, & the moment I saw it I wanted it.

I added the prices of everything I bought to show that you can have a decent wardrobe without spending tons of $$. (Also I want to remember for my own sake)

I'm lucky enough to be able to shop in the U.S a lot. Places like Ross, Marshalls (even Winners maybe) sell brand name quality clothing at decent prices.
Shopping in Canada is painful though because everything seems so expensive. I almost never buy anything unless it's on sale. Literally, the first place I go to is the sale section. & don't be embarrassed if you do that because who wants to spend tons of money on things that aren't always worth it?

I have never bought anything over $20 (excluding jackets & shoes bc that's just unfair) in my whole damn life okay LOL. I don't get every piece of clothing I want but it's okay.
