choose, want, & need: countdown to back to school

i am so over thinking about all the cute stuff i want. working at a place you love with girls that have larger shopping addictions than i do is quite the problem. as school is beginning exactly one month from today, i am getting more excited for the fall weather than ever before. i mean, it's such a good excuse to buy new clothes. the classic pieces are the best investments and basics like button ups or jeggings can be found at lower prices at stores like h&m and forever21. but for us label snobs, we can pick or choose between what we can fit into our budgets. today i'm going to be back to school shopping with a close friend. there's nothing more exciting than going to the mall when i don't have to!
