Jelly time。

In my rush to fill my closet for my return to college next week, I happened upon a peculiar choice of footwear while browsing the far reaches of tumblr, specifically the American Apparel tag and thus my fascination with jelly sandals was born. 

I wasn't prepared to spend $45 on a pair of rubber sandals on the AA website, so I hopped on over to ASOS where I found a more budget friendly version done by New Look. At $16 a pair, I ordered all three colors they had available in a UK 3 (bless them for having my size). The black and red pairs arrived together yesterday and the white is set to be delivered this Friday. 

My opinion? I absolutely love them and am already looking to build a collection with the official Juju Babes in the mix. Currently I'm lusting over the pale pink, pale blue, mint and clear glitter versions but as I've spent an exuberant amount of money back to school shopping already, will have to hold off until I pay off what I owe on my credit card. Sigh.

However, I am thrilled with the pairs I have and can't wait to make them a daily staple in my outfits this coming semester. Also, apologies for my sporadic nature in posting as I'm not often home due to work and spend most of my free time with my lover. 

アメアパ。

If I could pick one brand to replace my entire closet with it would most certainly be American Apparel. 

Putting on the Ritz。

Since the cable is on the fritz and it's currently raining outside, I have resigned myself to spending the day at home with two fur children hogging my bed. I may or may not also be playing Animal Crossing to the point where the citizens of my boyfriend's town are getting irritated from interacting with me constantly.
 
This past week I went on a bit of an eBay binge under the pretense that I'm treating myself for getting promoted (again) in less than a year at work. I scoured listings for cheap and authentic American Apparel paraphernalia and scored a number of items that are all in various stages of shipping.
I did, however, get two things today.
 
◉ Light wash denim high waist shorts (26)
◉ Chiffon tank in light pink (XS)

I'm still awaiting quite a number of things in the post (I am a competitive bidder) and will likely be posting whatever else I get on instagram since a separate post for each piece would turn out tiresome. Anyhow, I am off to tackle a large pile of laundry on my sofa.

Farewell, turtle shell.
