BACK TO SCHOOL THRIFT SHOP HAUL 2016
As you know, I'm an incoming Senior High School student in De La Salle University - Science and Technology Complex. During our seminars and orientations about K-12, we were advised that we won't be having uniforms for Senior High. At first, we were really happy & excited to get rid it.
Junior High School Uniform
De La Salle University - Integrated School, STC
After a few weeks of summer, we realized that having no uniforms suck. I mean, when you have a uniform that you have to wear to school, you don't have to think of what you're going to wear. It's completely normal to wear it everyday because you're all wearing the same thing.
I'm the type of person who doesn't like repeating clothes. If I wear a specific top for this day, I'll keep it at the back of my closet so that I won't wear it for an entire month. Having no uniforms/wearing civilian clothes everyday is difficult for people, like me. Our school's implementing a dress code so, a lot of clothes in my closet (specially skirts & dresses) aren't allowed. So, before my classes starts on June 1 *cries*, I decided to have a trip to our local thrift shop to purchase one of a kind & dress code appropriate clothes for my school OOTDs!
1.) Giordano Red Checkered Flannel Shirt
Price: 160.00 pesos
I've been looking for these kind of flannels for so long! And finally, I have it. It's kinda long but I really love its fabric! It's so soft, cozy & perf for the rainy season. I'll wear it by tying it around my waist so incase that our classroom gets cold, I have something to keep me warm.
2.) White 3/4 Sleeve Lace Top
Price: 160.00 pesos
I love everything about this top! The lace, garter on the sleeves and bottom are soooo pretty! It's similar to Topshop/Forever 21's boho collection which costs around 500-1,500 pesos which is really expensive for a "kuripot" student like me. I'm considering myself lucky finding this top that's almost similar to branded expensive clothes.
3.) Coral Garterized Top
Price: 160.00 pesos
The flowy design of this top caught my attention when I was shopping. I thought this was an off shoulder top, which I believe isn't allowed at school. Luckily, the store allowed me to try on everything that I got from the racks and it fits me perfectly. It's garterized on its sleeves and bottom. I love it so much and I'm looking forward to wear it at school! (P.S. This is my grandparent's favorite out of all the clothes that I got, they're my #1 fashion critic, hehe)
4.) H&M Gray Pullover
Price: 160.00 pesos
I literally screamed when I saw this pullover. It's so unique and classy at the same time! I absolutely love the adorbs design on its sleeves. Plus, it's branded! Yes guys, it's from H&M for a price of 160 pesos! (Another P.S. lol: When I got this pullover out of the rack, a random girl told me that I was lucky to find it because she wanted it too, well..... paunahan lang yan, haha!)
5.) Gray Collared Lace Top
Price: 160.00 pesos
This is a personal favorite!!!!! How could you not love this?! (I'm sorry, I just love this so much! Hahahaha) Casual with a touch of bohemian is definitely a great combination. It's so cute specially, the collar + lace. I fell in love with it instantly because it shows pretty much of my personality. Perf with black skinny jeans/pants! Who knew I could wear something cute despite of the strict dress code? ❤️
6.) White Button-down Sheer Long Sleeves Top
Price: 160.00 pesos
I own a button-down lace sheer top which I got from Forever 21 but I hate how it fits my body, so, I got another one. I love the black and cream color combination of this sheer top. It has a cute lace-ish floral design in the shoulders which adds more girly-style to this simple top. The gold mini buttons are adorbs too!
7.) White 3/4 Sleeve Lace Crop Top
Price: 160.00 pesos
This is the third lace top that I got, is it obvious that I adore lace tops? Hahaha. This is kinda similar with the second outfit on my Back to School haul. I couldn't leave it in the store because it's just so nice. It shows a part of my tumtum because it's a crop top-type. For no dress code violation, I'll wear a cami underneath and I'm good to go!
For my Back to School Haul, I spent:
Honestly, when I arrived and asked for the price of a top (which is fixed 160 pesos each for everything) I find it expensive because usually, the clothes that I bought from thrift shops ranges from 35-85 pesos only. I was supposed to transfer to a cheaper thrift shop but then, I saw these super pretty lace tops which I couldn't resist! My budget was originally 600 pesos and ended up spending 1,000 pesos! Luckily, I got a discount from the owner who was really kind. She even asked for my number so she could text me when they release new arrivals again! So cool right?
Even though my wallet is crying right now, I'm really happy and not regretting that I got these babies! Everything I got was cute, comfy & unique. I'm glad that I could be fashionable and wear these without violating the dress code. I'm so excited to wear them to school! ❤️
