I went to
Target and Officeworks to get my goods and I have to say that this year there was
quite a variety of options to choose from in terms of colours and patterns.
I wanted to
go with a black and white them and tried to find marble contact paper or wrapping
paper to cover my books with. Unfortunately the only thing that came close to
what I wanted cost a lot more than what I was willing to spend on school
supplies!
I found a
guest post on Charlotte Russe’s blog by FashionLush on how to DIY wrapping
paper and I adapted that to suit me. (Another post coming up soon on how to do
that)
Officeworks
I found a
white folder to hold my books when I’m taking them to and from Uni, I got 3
128-page notebooks with holes down the left side so they go into my folder
easily, and lastly a pack of highlighters that aren’t the usually thick size,
so they fit more easily in my pencil case.
Target
I was super
excited to have a look and the back-to-school section because I’d already seen
what some of my friends had bought here. I found a tonne of great stuff here
with really cool designs that suited my minimalism style. I grabbed some
liquid-paper which I’m also using for a DIY in a later post, and notebook pack
with a fern printed A5 notebook that came with some pens and sticky-notes and a
roll of blackboard adhesive.
I didn’t want
to get too much stuff because I know that I won’t use everything and it’ll end
up being a waste of money so I kept my shopping to a minimum. I’ve just started
the minimalism challenge so I thought I’d keep that in mind when doing any
shopping.
