shopping haul

So today I had a spare period last, so I left school and went shopping. I hadn't been since Boxing Day (unless you count my quick dress shopping trip for New Year's) and since I had nothing to do, I decided to check things out. I didn't find anything too interesting at the mall, except for some nail polish, so I walked to the Marshall's across the street.
I bought my New Year's dress from there and was impressed by the sale prices and how neat and clean the store is compared to Winners, so I decided to give it another shot. And I'm very happy I did.
This is what I bought:

This shirt wasn't on sale or anything, but it's Mink Pink and I fell in love with it at first sight.

Some crushed velvet leggings...

And this asymmetrical skirt, which was only $3!

I've also recently applied to universities and colleges, so I'm nervously waiting for responses. I already received early admission from York University, which was a great surprise! Now I'm just working on my portfolio's for the fashion programs I applied to. Wish me luck :)

my week

I haven't written a new post in a long time, so I'm taking a little break from my homework to do just that.
The fall weather finally seems to be sticking, so I've been able to start wearing my fall clothes. I love layering and wearing big cozy sweaters.
Friday night my school had a big football game with our rivalry school, so I went with a few friends. It was pretty cold, but we still had a good time. (Our team won too!)
I have a  lot of projects and tests coming up because report cards come out at the beginning of November. It's really stressful on top of researching colleges and universities. I keep getting nervous about not getting my portfolio done in time for applications, even though I know that's not likely to happen. I really hope to get into my two top choices of schools.
This Friday I'm going to my friend's Halloween party. I love Halloween and I always get really excited in October for cheesy Halloween movies and decorations. The next week I'm going to another Halloween party, as well as a Halloween punk/ska show that my boyfriends band organizes. For the party this week I'm dressing up as Little Red Riding Hood, and for the other events I want to dress up as Luna Lovegood, but if it doesn't work out I already have my other costume. I'll be sure to post pictures after!
What are your plans for Halloween?

Here's a photo one of my friends took at the football game.
