No more GMAT = Shopping Haul ^__^! - Don’t look back, you won’t find tomorrow behind you
I took the GMAT exam yesterday... I feel SO liberated! YAAAY \o/ I immediately got my results x___X Do you guys wanna hear? NuuuooooOoo I don't wanna reveal it though >_< I was definitely aiming a little high when I selected to send my scores to Stanford and UPenn... Their average acceptance score is around 700 T^T
The exam is super expensive @ $250, so I had decided not to retake it... My dad said if I could get like 10-20 points higher, it's a good decision, because Stanford and UPenn are still out of my league, but if I can score at least 50 points higher, then l have a shot at Stanford *____* Thank you daddy for the encouragement! ♥
Anyway, I don't wanna talk about the GMAT anymore X3 I went shopping yesterday (it is tax free weekend in South Carolina)! Would you like to seeee? Yeees?? :D YAY! ♥
Brand: Cathy Jean
Price: $40 (Original Price: $89.99)
Quality: 5/5 - SO light and comfy, none of the straps dig into my skin, and it almost feels like I'm not wearing any shoes!
★ My favorite thing about these heels are that they're very versatile~ I could wear them with jeans, skirt, a dress, casual, or formal. I'm also very particular about how the front of the shoes look.. I dislike squarish-toed shoes; they look like cheap Payless shoes to me >___< So these are a perfect shape to me!
★ Comfy + cute + great price = love it! ♥
The rest is behind the cut! ^___^
Brand: Fox @ PacSun
Price: $29.50
Overall Quality: 3/5 - To me, PacSun is a more expensive version of Forever 21 clothes (aka clothes that don't last long)... However, their clothes always fit me really well! Also very very comfortable~
★ I fell in love with the cute jersey design so I had to get it~ I tried it on at the store, and as you can see from above, it's loose but it also hugs my body. That's what I like about the shirt :D It's not the suffocatingly tight clothes at stores like A&F~
★ Comfy + cute + not so cheap = bought it for the look! ♥
Brand: Fox @ PacSun
Price: Free (Original Price: $22.50)
Overall Quality: 3/5 - Same as above
★ I love the combination of pink and blue on the shirt, as well as the cute logo on the back and the fact that it's a V-neck (I had scoop necks on T-shirts)~
★ Comfy + cute = everyday shirt! ♥
Brand: White House Black Market
Price: $67.46 (Original Price: $84)
Overall Quality: 5/5 - The fabric is very light and flowy, and looks super cute when I twirl
★ I bought this skirt to wear to work (with a black shrug), but it can most definitely be worn casually (as is above), or to a party :D Love skirts that don't just sit in my closet waiting for the right occasion (which happens like once a year).
★ Versatile + gorgeous + looks awesome = so much love ♥
Brand: White House Black Market
Price: $40.15 (Original Price: $84)
Overall Quality: 5/5 - The fabric is very light and flowy, and not cheap at all!
★ When the sales girl showed this skirt to me, I was like "meh, looks like a prison skirt" (and it still does) >___< But when I tried it on, I was blown away by the slimming effect. I can totally get past the fact that it's a prison skirt with if I gear up in brightly colored accessories and pairing it with some cute shrugs.
★ Gorgeous + comfy = so much love ♥
Brand: JewelMint
Price: $15 (Original Price: $30)
★ I also bought these Very Audrey earrings from JewelMint; they've yet to arrive so I can't comment on the quality, but they look really pretty so I decided to get them despite me not being a big fan of purchasing online.
★ If you're interested, use the promotional code MAV5 to get 50% off your purchase (which is how I only paid $15). Shipping is free so $15 is the exact amount you'd be paying for them~
★ I do have to warn you guys though, JewelMint is like a monthly subscription. When you first sign up, you fill out a style questionaire. They then e-mail you with a "Showroom" of jewelry that they think will suit your taste (which comes in a monthly e-mail, so if you don't want to receive it, use an alternate e-mail). If you don't like the items they selected, you can choose to remove or drop items from your Showroom. After your first purchase, you MUST tell them in the future if you don't want an item as it becomes a subscription. Simply tell them you don't want anything that month.
★ I personally do not like a lot of things JewelMint has, but these earrings really stood out. Cross my fingers they're not Claire's quality jewelry!

Description of the item from the website: Add a touch of flirty feminity to any outfit with these sparkly, silver plated poinsettia stud earrings. Understated yet glamorous, these little sparklers are perfect to elevate your everyday look to one of sophistication and luxury. They are that little something that every casual outfit needs to pull it together
Inspired by: Kate's Chanel diamond star earrings.
And I aaaalso bought some headbands from Francesca's Collection, but since there's no stock pictures and real pictures do them no justice, I won't be posting them xD
Whew *wipes sweat* Long entry is long x___X
Contemplating whether to get this Maxi dress from Maurices... THOUGHTS? YAY OR NAY?
