I'm only staying with my job just b/c once I graduate I am going to apply to become a flight attendant so I figure I'll just relax and focus on school until I graduate. It sucks not having money.
Hey everyone thanks for the insight on the bangs... ive been doing bikram yoga (hot yoga) for a little bit now, and i've learned the way of headbands and clip barretts. So I suppose I'll have to go that route... I do think im gonna hit up the hair washin' tent just so i can get that salon head massage!
AND thanks for all the heads up on cute dresses - i myself, am not a college student anymore, and in the working world - but i spend all my money on going to shows so im just as broke as the rest of youse hard working co-eds! and the tips on where to find cheap sundresses/wicking bras and shorts/and shoes is wonderful.
I'd like to add a little something bout the wellies - I got a pair from Target last year too! they are light pink with cupcakes all over them (cupcake you should get a pair for SURE!) and they were way way way to hot to wear during the day. But at night when it gets chilly - im tellin ya ladies, they were warm and lovely. And during the day, as long as you have something that supports your arches (crocs, flops, whatever) you'll be fine. I wore flip flops from American Eagle that had the foamy squishy bottoms, and since they molded to my foot, they were great.

just be careful with flip flops. I always wore them alll the time with absolutely no problems then all of a sudden last summer, bam, i got tendonitis from walking in flip flops too much. (and i was wearing the good kind, that molded). My feet are very arched so I was more susceptible, but just be careful, it hurts really really bad.
I've been lurking on this thread for a while, picking up tips wherever I can. This will be my first Roo so I can use all of the advice I can get! Just thought I'd say that I went to the mall yesterday and stopped by Forever 21, and bought the dress Thatgrrl posted about yesterday:

They have it several different colors in the store (black, green, blue) and yes, they're all $11.50! I got the blue one. It's really lightweight material, like a t-shirt... should be pretty comfy. I also wandered over to Charlotte Russe and they had a lot of really cute sundresses, too, but those were a little out of my price range ($29.99 and up). Last weekend, I went to Ross, for those that are familiar with this store, and I got a juniors halter-style sundress for $12.99.
All of this Roo fashion talk has changed my shopping style!! Now when I look at a piece of clothing, my first reaction is "Can I wear this at Roo?" Thanks for the great advice!

I have come to announce that I might just be the worst tie dyer ever. I attempted 2 T-shirts and 1 wife beater and I am scared to death to even see what they will look like in 10 hours lol. I now regret that I never went to camp or joined the girl scouts I'll post the embarrasing pictures when they are done lol.

Oh, me three. Totally.
That dress comes in more colors than the lonely online rust color? Drat! I don't have an actual Forever 21 anywhere near me. Guess I'd better learn to love rust. I hear it never sleeps.
Alessia, believe me when I say that camp taught me nothing about dying clothing. I'd probably be doing a worse job than you are!
well, i do have to admit that i learned how to tye dye a shirt through girl scouts...if you still need help alessia, i could try to recall those amazing girl scouting skills of mine to help you. i remember them coming out pretty decent...

i don't recall tie dying in girl scouts, but I do want to try soon!
aw, don't worry about these shirts alessia! They were the first ones you ever tried, so i'm sure with practice you'll get better!
Hey, better using your debit card, than your credit card. That way leads to madness.
yeah, well, i'm saving my credit card to put the rothbury ticket on ;D
sorry, i know this is off subject of girly fashions, but i just saw the freaking rothbury line up...and it's AMAZING! i want to go sooo bad now. but, i highly doubt that i can. damn it.
Oh yes ladies....Ross is the best thing that has come to my side of town! They have a lot of cute sun dresses for only $9.99! The same ones you see at Dillards! I highly recommend checking it out if there is one near yoU!

Sooooo I feel like a big ol' idiot posting this but it's too funny not to post.....funny in a sad kind of way.......I figured you ladies would get a laugh out of my....stupidity I guess.......so here is goes....
I have always hated bras right I always thought they were uncomfortable and I do my best to get away with shirts with shelf bras but I still thought they were uncomfortable....all the bras I have are cup size B and I think I have one C but that one was extra uncomfortable....
So inspired by this thread I decided to go to victoria secret and get sized properly.....and I am at home visiting family and one of my old friends decided she needed a new bra as well so we went together.....so the nice lady comes up and I tell her I need to be sized.....which she does......so it turns out I'm a DD....*hangs my head in a weird mixture of shame and pride*
So for the past, I dont know, 7 years I have been wearing bras that are like 3 sizes too small....well actually one of the ones I got was just a D, so technically only 2....but still....
I was so excited haha.....I walked into my mothers house and grabbed my newly bra'd boobs and said "Look ma I'm a big girl now!!!!" But my friend got a bra or two that are DD's when she normally wears a C, mid you she did just have a baby.....so they certainly are right about that large number of women who wear the wrong size bra......moral of the story: If you think you know what size you wear....you're probably wrong lol

BTDT, the best decision I ever made was to get sized for the proper condiments the other day, let's just say they're much more comfortable and effective when you don't have to use a bungee cord to keep 'em on. ;D

So I guess I'm not the 'worst' tie dyer in the world lol. I finally got to open them up and see how they look and they aren't too bad. Both were made for the Saint Patrick's Day parade (<-------- as you can tell I'm obsessed with this holiday...even though I am 100% Italian.)
So here they are...
(the last 2 are the same, but I wanted to give you the whole St.Patty's Day effect lol)

heads up: the summer line for Pink is sooo cute! it's def. got a bohemian/ hippie vibe, peace signs and trees and recycling stuff all over it... i picked up one of the shirts that says "make pink not war" the other day and yeah...our store is putting the new stuff out on the floor tonite, so it should be out all over next week...
thought i'd throw that out b/c it's the first time i've really been excited about pink in quite a while. =)

There is a DVD from Kariza Design showing 60 ways to wear it. This is not the whole 60, but with some other searches, you might find selections of the video's, or a booklet that is referenced.
