-$3 Top

top:styles for less/jacket:forever21
At first I wasn't sure if I was into these kinds of patterns, especially since I've been seeing them everywhere. But with nothing else to wear I resorted to this. Miraculously I've gotten a few compliments on it. With every comment I received, I responded proudly "It was only $3 bucks!". Despite the lack of organization 'Styles For Less' is actually filled with deals! Just be sure to check their sales rack no matter how messy they seem, they always have nice stuff. I've just happened to found this there. The back is like a raceback style but instead of just having the straps meet there it braids on down. If you want a photo of it let me know! If you don't like racerbacks in general I've seen a few V-necks like this at Anchor Blue for $5. I've also seen the baggy styled shirts with this pattern at forever21.


First Post

Bonjour! Welcome to my fashion blog, or my weak attempt at creating one. I guess I should start by explaining myself, even though I don't owe any of you anything, I'll explain myself as a treat for your taking your own time and reading this piece of crapito.

Who am I?
My name is Joyce, and I'm just an average teenager. Currently I'm fourteen going on fifteen.. My mama is Chinese, and my dad is Laotian. Making me half of both. I speak Cantonese, English, and I'm on my way to being somewhat fluent in French. I live in America, Bay Area California to be precise. I'm loyal, honest, and way beyond outspoken. This blog is a piece of my mind. So the best way to get to know me? Rhetorical question, the answer's in it.
Why did you decide to make a fashion blog?
& What's with the name?

I don't even know if this can qualify as a 'fashion blog', but that's the point, I just don't care what you think! I'm a broke, unemployed teenager, and I'm pretty damn sure I'm not the only one.. Hah, this is just a way of expressing the way I spend my money, and what I think of whatever is going on. I might not be able to afford fancy name brands, but that doesn't mean I won't be able to be broke in style. A Monster's Mannequin? Okay well the name is more of a metaphor, for those of you that didn't quite get the concept. First of all I don't even own a mannequin, as a matter of fact I don't even have room for it in my maison. Actually, I don't even have my own room. But when I get it you can expect me to decorate it magnificently, and expect a post on it (if you decide to become a reader). And second, I'm not a monster, but to a few of you the way I dress can be preposterous or horrendous, or just plain out hideous.. but that's okay because I'm wearing it, and not you. You just get the enjoyment of reading it. So stick around, if you want.
What makes my blog different from everyone else?
To be honest, they're all pretty redundant and my specialty happens to be in difference. So there's a few bloggers who states they like getting bargain buys, who doesn't? But a majority of them will tell you they that they've caught a few good steals from a few thrift stores. But then the next day they'll be telling you they just bought the newest Louis Vuitton bag! You don't have to worry about that with me, I'm staying broke, I promise. I will also try my best not to taunt you with couture that me and you both will never be able to have.

although I always complain about reality, this is the one place I'm actually going to face it;
WELCOME TO THE MEDIOCRE
