The Hookup On...

The Hookup On: Rosegal

I ordered a bunch of new clothes from my fall wishlist and just received the package! Fall clothes are my favorite because they are so cozy, cute, and I can put an edgy spin on anything I wear. It’s safe to say I feel the most confident in my fall wardrobe. Now all I need is for fall to actually make an appearance because it’s been 90 degrees here – it feels like the peak of summer!

I ordered a couple of things from Rosegal for this season and I am obsessed!! The price just can’t be beat and I got my package in two weeks. It was worth the wait. I bought a bomber jacket, sweater dress, knee high socks, and a set of rings.

Cute jackets are a fall necessity because as the weather cools down, you don’t want to have to cover your outfits with bulky and boring jackets. That’s why I’m so excited about the bomber jacket – even the sweater dress will come in handy because it has long sleeves and will still keep me warm!

I’ve been eyeing ring sets for a while now, but haven’t purchased any. I love the ones I got from Rosegal! They are so cute and edgy and great quality. Everything I received really blew me away in quality for the price I paid. All this for under $40! It’s a steal.

I can’t wait to pair what I’ve bought with my very large collection of beanies and flannels. What are your fall fashion staple items?

Completed Summer Bucket List

I know everyone believes that summer ends after Labor Day, but I stick to the calendar and let summer go a few weeks into September. Because summer is so different when you’re out of school and working, it took me a while to adjust to that summer, care-free feeling. Mostly because I still have a lot of cares, like a lot of them. Fortunately, the end of my summer perked up a lot and I had a great couple of months. I made big plans this summer and finished most of them! Comment below with one thing you did this summer! 🙂

  1. Go Blonder
  2. Read 10 books
  3. Go to the gym frequently
  4. Visit 3 out of state locations
  5. Go hiking in 3 places
  6. Go kayaking
  7. Start taking more pride in my appearance
  8. Make more plans with friends
  9. Make content calendar for instagram
  10. Reach 2,000 WordPress followers
  11. Reach 7,000 Instagram followers
  12. Reach 550 likes on Facebook
  13. Find my independence
  14. Get a pet
  15. Keep my apartment clean for more than a week
  16. Visit Grounds for Sculpture
  17. Go to a sporting event
  18. Buy concert tickets
  19. Adjust my routine

The Hookup On: Fall Fashion Wishlist

Before I write my fall bucket list (because it’s still summer to me!), I want to talk about my fall fashion and all of the cute dresses I’ll be needing.

I’m a big fan of amazing style for cheap and I am also 100% an online shopper, you’ll never catch me in a mall if I have any say in the matter. So I chose to do my wishlist shopping on Rosegal.

I’ve been meaning to update my closet and try to wear more than jeans and a sweatshirt all the time. Most of my style inspo for the fall includes wearing dresses, cute jackets, and booties. And I’m determined to get some of these items in my closet! The below photo shows all of the cute items I’m looking at specifically.

  1. Long sweater dresses just look sooo cozy.
  2. I have to admit, I have a lot of knee high socks already, but they are necessary for fall!
  3. I love bomber jackets, I can’t believe I don’t already have one! I may or may not have a closet full of this color green, but it’s just such a great color!
  4. Stacking rings are just too cute!
