See Ya Later, Polos!

 
I won't go down with this ship....
Polo: You Don't Want One (but it's from Aeropostale- don't judge) | Skirt: Cotton On | Jewelry: H&M

I've only mentioned it a few times, but my school has a uniform and I am forced to wear a polo Monday through Wednesday, Thursday is college T-shirt and Friday is free dress. I bet you weren't expecting to hear that from a fashion blogger huh? Well today I am celebrating the last time I will ever have to wear a polo, well until school starts back up in July that is. I'm actually really lucky that we have a choice of what polo colors to wear and that we aren't forced to wear those hideous plaid skirts like a lot of other schools. Dressing up my uniform usually consists of a cardigan, some rings, cute shoes, and maybe a necklace or a scarf. I think that polos are officially the worst thing ever. I would burn all my polos, but I kinda need them for next year. *sigh*

Music Madness #10: Finals Edition


For most high schoolers, finals time is here. Not gonna lie, I solely picked these songs based on their titles.

Keep Your Head Up?  So you don't fall asleep.
Don't Panic? Because you got this.
Everything's Not Lost? Because I bet you did better than you think you did.
Everything Will Be Alright? Because it's true.
L.I.F.E.G.O.E.S.O.N? Because it's just a test, and you will recover.

And my favorite.

My Tears Are Becoming A Sea, because sometimes you look at your test and think
"what the eff is this?"

Good Luck on Finals everyone!

I Survived.


For all of you who don't follow me on twitter, or haven't liked my Facebook page, shame on you. Just kidding (not really). But if you don't follow me on those sites, you wouldn't have known that last Friday I took my AP Statistics test and today I took my AP World History test-- and I survived both

My AP stats test didn't scare me one bit. I have the best statistics teacher in the whole wide world; I'm actually convinced that she's a robot because she is that amazing. I got a 5, the highest grade, on both of my practice tests and I felt fully prepared. When it was time to take the test, I breezed through the multiple choice and laughed at the free response. I know I can't say any details about the test, but the number six free response, which is suppose to be the hardest, take the longest, and accounts for most of the free response portion, was so easy, that I bet my seventh grade self could have gotten at least a three (out of four) on it.

And then came the AP World History test.

Do you know how difficult it is to remember what happened from 8000 BCE to 2001? (It's really hard, incase you were wondering.) It also didn't help that I may have not read quite a few chapters in our textbook... I don't understand why the world has to have so many empires and wars. If it were up to me, the world would consist of one large empire that was the same all throughout history-- it would make writing those three essays SO much easier. I actually wrote all three essays unlike my mock exam where I just doodled for like half an hour because I didn't know what to do. (fyi, don't ever do that on a real test.) Although I don't feel like I got a five on that test, I feel like I conquered it better than the Mongols ever could. And yes, I've said that about a bajillion times today, but I feel unstoppable.

Now on to finals...

Help! I Need Somebody!

design by me.

This is exactly how I feel.

I am trying my hardest to get some more original and interesting content up. I've been more consistent with reading different blogs and I feel so inspired to do more, and become more that what I already am. I am determined to take all that inspiration, and turn it into more creation, but I need your input on how I can improve and make Standard T the "way above" Standard T. Do you want to see more of a specific type of post? Do I post too little? Too often? Any and all feedback and requests are greatly appreciated!

Floral, She Said.











Cardigan: Forever 21 | Top: PacSun | Skirt: Ross | Shoes: Payless
 I've had these pictures on my computer for over two weeks because I couldn't think of a name for this look... Serious blogger problem over here. 

I am currently sitting in a room at school for the rest of the day until I take my AP Stats test at one, so I thought I might as well try to get some blogging done instead of studying. I obviously have my priorities in check. The end of school is coming closer and closer which means its time to be tested and stressed to death. Fun right?! 

My brother and I have decided to do some Brother+Sister Style posts so look out for those in the near future! If you follow me on Instagram, you have probably seen some of the behind the scenes of part one of our summer shoot. Let me just say, it involves an inflatable alligator, water guns, and fake grass..
Get excited!

Urban Peach Boutique Wishlist

Urban Peach Boutique  Wishlist
1,2,3,4

It all started when I was aimlessly scrolling into the depths of Pinterest... 

I've recently become addicted to loud statement jewelry items like large watches and bright, bold, bauble necklaces. So when I saw a picture of multiple necklaces in various colors with the caption "any necklace from this site for cheap!" I couldn't hold back-- and I'm glad I didn't. That's how I found out about the online store Urban Peach Boutique.

 They have various different necklaces, earrings, watches, and bracelets in an array of colors. Their bubble necklaces remind me of necklaces from J.Crew for only a fraction of the price! I have yet to place an order from them but I definitely have a growing wishlist of items to buy in the future.

Ideally, I would get the bubble necklace in every color, but I think white, red, lavender, and tangerine would suffice, well, for now anyways. I've had my eye on a good looking gold watch for some time now, and I think that the Urban Watch is exactly what I'm looking for!

They truly have every color imaginable, except for a neon yellow, which would be a nice addition. *hint hint*
