Welcome Fall

I am a Fall and Spring lover, I guess those are my favorite seasons. I never look foward for the end of Spring or Autumn, but I am always loking foward the end of Summer and beggining of fall and the same with Winter and the beggining of Spring. 
Fall to me means almost a rentrée... You start a new school year (this fall I am going to college for the first time). So there are some stuff I want to do until Winter comes.
  • Start college and make a lot of new friends.
  • Try to keep calm a little bit more and relax, just enjoy things.
  • Take more photos.
  • Have a healthy lifestyle.
  • Get my driver's licence.
  • I'm turning 18 and I wanted to do something special, not a big thing, just a nice little special thing.
  • Read more books and watch more movies.

Notes on packing

  • Do not take many stuff with me
  • Keep the outfits practical, simple and functional
  • Pack only the necessary amount of cosmetics
  • Do not eat a lot of junk food and prefer healthy food
  • Check the weather
  • 3 pairs of shoes are enough
  • 3 bottoms are enough
  • 1 dress for the night and another for the day
  • 1 coat is enough
  • Do not exagerate on the accessories
  • 1 big bag for the day and a little one for night or occasions when I don't need to take a lot with me
  • Wallet and documents, cell phone, charger, phones etc
  • 2 bras and 8 briefs are enough

Some notes on clothes


  • Sell everything I don't want, like or wear anymore.
  • Avoid flea markets and other second hand fairs (the prices are amazing, but when I cleaned my wardrobe I realize that most of the things I bought on that kind of fairs were the ones that I didn't want anymore, because I changed my mind or because they got ruined or because they didn't fit me properly).
  • Avoid buying for impulse (this is a get away from Primark note since almost everything I got there I threw away or  I am trying to sell).
  • Do not shop on empty stomach (I get anxious and tend to make bad choices).
  • Stick to the list and avoid trendy clothes (leave the trends for the accessories).
  • Also do not invest in good quality trendy accessories since they won't be worn for too long.
  • Quality over quantity always when it comes to basics, intemporal pieces.
  • Fix everything I can to always look clean  (throw away things that can't be fixed)
  • Enough with that "homewear" and "beachwear" clothes, I will stop wearing those ruined clothes at home, since everytime I need to get out I have to change and get embaressed when I have to go to the door - instead I'll dress "to get out" every morning even if I have no plans (of course this doesn't aplly to shoes, I can still wear my slippers at home). So I will throw away all those clothes and stick to the good ones.
  • Get inspired by street fashion when it comes to create outfits.

Update

I know it's been a while since I last wrote here, and I seriously thought about giving up but then I realized that this was gonna be fun for those winter days when you can't leave the house.
So first of all I finally got to change my room and it's exacly how I wanted it - all white and simple. Got a bigger closet, which I can fit everything in and a vanity table which I was dreaming about since I was little. Still need to get my secretary though...
Moving on, I am really excited about this fall, I'm going to college and everything.
Another thing: finally got the book "French women don't get fat". And finally finished my wadrobe and cosmetics list which I'll be posting now on as a reminder for myself.
And it's all by now
