Outfitting Myself in an Urban Manner

So I totally forgot about online shopping. Yes, I browse things, but I've been spoiled lately, you know, living in civilization and all. Now that I'm in the boonies, it's all I've got (shipping is cheaper than the Dartmouth Coach).

Here's the story:

I am arranging my room for the term, when I lose my footing and trip on my school bag--CRRRRAcccK go my sunglasses. My beautiful, Persol knock-offs from Forever 21 that cost $5. Though they were the second iteration (my first got me through Toulouse til they snapped one day), they felt like the originals. I love bargains and beauty, so when the two are combined it is magnificent. I'm in love with circular frames, especially tortoise-shell ones.
"prepster" shades, UO

My replacements were discovered for $10 on the Urban Outfitters website (F21 doesn't sell them anymore). I love sunglasses way too much, by the way. But with good reason--they are easy to try on and wicked fun to play with.

I also needed a new watch (the one I bought at Galeries Lafayette in Toulouse is being worn out), so I found a nice one with a small face that suited my fancy. (Just discovered it's been back-ordered, which sucks).And then as a final fun purchase I bought a striped shirt that I think will be cute.

Happy holidays, me!
