I wore two outfits on this day because it rained a lot, so I had to change into dry clothes for the rest of the day. I am wearing a blue sweater from American Eagle (similar), a plaid scarf from Gap, black leggings from Lululemon and my Forever 21 boots. 

Today I left NYC. I tried to keep my outfit comfortable so I wore a dust pink hoodie from American Eagle (on sale!), leggings, Adidas shoes (color navy), and my jacket from BCBGeneration.

Thanks so much for reading! I hope you all had an amazing Winter break!

I have survived my first week of my high school junior year! Yayy! One of the biggest changes from sophomore to junior year is having 8 classes all at once. Before, I would have 4 classes the first semester and then a whole new set of 4 classes during the second semester. Now all my classes are every other day throughout the whole year. Not only will this mean more tests, homework and studying, but it also means having to just remember my schedule... which is actually quite difficult. I keep forgetting what class I have next and whether the class is on an A-day or B-day. Hopefully my schedule will start to stick with me once I get more used to it! 

I liked all my classes for the most part, and I knew a handful of kids in each class which was great! 

Now on to my outfits for the first week...

MONDAY

I always try to look my best on the first day of school. I have many reasons why I like to do this. One reason being that I usually feel my best when I wear something that I like or look good in. When I feel my best, I am usually more confident and make friends easier than if I had worn an outfit I didn't like. I also like dressing up on the first day because it can be a conversation starter. If you don't know many people in your class but someone walks up and compliments you on your outfit, then you can always start up a conversation with them! A conversation about a shirt can easily turn into a conversation about your favorite TV shows or interests! 

My classes on Monday were IB Math, IB Spanish, IB History of the Americas and IB Business Management. I also had to go to homeroom for about an hour and a half every morning for the entire week. I didn't have much homework on the first day, besides signing a bunch of contact/information forms for various teachers.

TUESDAY

As you can tell by the picture, a day has gone by and my floor is already getting to be a mess. Since my classes are all every other day, Tuesday was like my second first day of school. It was my first time being in my B-day classes. 

My classes on Tuesday were IB Biology, IB Theory of Knowledge, IB Psychology and IB English. I liked all of my classes and all of my teachers for the most part. 

After school I worked from 4 to closing. The store actually closes the doors at 8pm, but we have to do a bunch of work after. There were a few people that stayed in the store after 8, which was pretty annoying. One customer actually complained to us about how a lady at her store stayed until midnight. She ended up being the last customer in the store and finally left a little bit after 8:30. I ended up leaving the store at 9:20, which is pretty late for a school night considering I had to wake up at 5:45 am the next morning. I actually gave in my notice on this day too because I knew working and ding school would be way to stressful. I definitely think I made the right decision!

WEDNESDAY

Today was a very busy day! I had all the same classes that I had on Monday. In my classes, we kept talking about the classroom rules and syllabus... all the usual boring stuff that's covered in the first few days.

After school, I went with my sister to her hair appointment. After that, we went to Target to find school supplies, which they were out of. We ended up just going home without any supplies because I was late for tutoring. I tutored my neighbors, who are in elementary school for about 30 minutes. Then my sister and I went back out to pick up dinner and scrounge around for school supplies. We looked in Walmart, and I bought some binders, paper and pencils. I need binders for every class, so my backpack is going to be soo full and heavy during the year!! Walmart didn't have composition notebooks however, so we had to go to Harris Teeter. There was only one composition notebook left, and my sister and I both needed one, so we had to take one that was on their school supplies display. Next we picked up dinner at Five Guys and brought it home. I love Five Guys and it's one of my fave fast food places by far. 

After dinner, I had to call a student that is in the same club as me and work on some club presentations and projects. Then I helped my parents ready the house for my sister, who was going to have a major surgery the following day.

THURSDAY

On Thursday I didn't feel like dressing up for school, so I decided to stay comfy in a t-shirt and shorts. I usually dress down once a week for school, especially when it's super hot outside and I don't want to wear jeans. Today I had all my B-day classes again. During homeroom I worked on a video for my club that we will be airing over the morning announcements next week. 

After school I tutored the kids in my neighborhood. It rained a lot this day so my soccer practice was canceled. My sister stayed overnight at the hospital because of her jaw surgery. She only had to stay overnight one time, and then she could come home.

FRIDAY

Today was the last day of my first week back to school! I finished my club video in the morning and then I went to all my classes. My teacher actually brought me and another club officer coffee! I noticed my car tires were looking a little flat this morning so I checked on them between classes. They got worse throughout the day and the huge tropical storm that was coming our way didn't help. I don't know too much about cars so I didn't really know what to do. My teacher actually gave me quarters so that I could get my tires pumped at a self-serve gas station. I went with my friend after school, and we (attempted) to pump air in the tires. A really nice lady actually helped us and told us what to do! Without her we definitely would've been stuck at the gas station for a long time trying to figure out what to do. Thankfully I made it home safely!

Thanks so much for reading!

I think this outfit is perfect for the Winter/Fall time, because the colors are darker and the sweater will keep you warm if its cold outside. I got this skirt at the airport on my way home from my trip to London. It's super cute, and feels like a suede material. I also like how it has buttons in the middle of the skirt, which reminds me of the 80's and 90's when button down skirts were popular.

I really like this outfit, and I think it is perfect for warmer days in Winter. I think wearing more summery tops with winter or fall jackets looks great, and you can get more wear out of your clothes!
