boarding school

Hi friends,

It’s PUmPKiN SpICE lATTE TIME AGaIN~

Why did September last like five seconds lmaooo anyways, I’m back with another mood board. The cool weather ~inspired~ me. I’m sure you’ve seen the sweater vest over a polo shirt trend all year but it’s finally cold enough for me to justify wearing it lol. My fall aesthetic is very much boarding school but make it ~fashion~

The resurgence of Gossip Girl and Harry Potter (specifically Draco) fandom has helped popularize the boarding school uniform trend and I’m here for it. This is embarrassing to admit but I’ve been stuck on Dracotok for a minute now kdjflksdjflkds (if you know, you know.)

I’m like, “Why do I keep getting these Draco videos… *continues to browse through the hashtag for half an hour, entertaining my tween soul because it makes me nostalgic of my Wattpad days*

This fall I’m dressing as if I come from old money and am attending Hogwarts or some elite private school in NYC lmfaooo

AnywHo, here’s to a cozy fall – filled with good things and less 2020-esque events.

 

I’m all about thrifting and finding a deal but listen… I experienced ~luxury~ this past weekend and now I must be rich.

I used to be like “Oh, materialistic things won’t bring you happInEsS. I doN’t NeEd tO be RiCh.” That was before I slept on the comfiest bed of my life. I didn’t know beds were suppose to be like that. I – Don’t even get me started on the shower experience. It was one of those glass showers you see on every HGTV show. I put away my Dove soap bar real QUICK and tried out the Ouai hair stuff lmaoooo. I was like, “Ouai?? In the guest bathroom??? That’s nice.” I think that’s what they mean by self care. Drugstore soap and bed linens won’t do it for me anymore, lord. I’ve seen and felt the luxury lifestyle and I just can’t go back.

I understand why luxury designers have physical stores – you have to feel the quality of the products to justify the price. This shopping wish list is going to be more luxury items than affordable items and I apologize but I gotta start manifesting that I’ll be able to afford these items easily lmfaooodfkdsjfls. Oh, nothing is affiliated or an ad btw. I haven’t sold my soul to the influencer gods yet. I found all these items on my own and am hoarding them in my personal wish lists so I thought I’d share 🙂
