In
case some of you don’t know what spirit week is: it is a school week where
Cabinet, a group of students that organize things in order of the school,
decides on themes for each day of the week in which you should dress up for
that day.

Now
I would love to write about the week itself but it is honestly not interesting
at all. It was just like any other week but dressed up. So I figured as it
still is something of an event. I would tell you about my shopping experience
and add photo’s of my outfits!
Prior
to this week, I went shopping in Battlefield to buy clothes that would match
the themes of this year. My host mom dropped me off at the mall around 10.30 am
and from that point on I was on a mission. For a good five hours I shopped my
butt off, trying to find some good outfits.
I
started in Zumies, a skater-ish sort of store. The staff was super nice,
refreshing after the past three days in school. The guy who helped me, Connor,
did a good job and stayed with me the entire time I was looking around, asking
me questions. I actually felt bad that nothing in the store fit the themes and
to be fair, it wasn’t really within my budget either… As soon as Connor’s
workmate called him over, I snuck out of the door…

| Tuesday Twin Day |
I
went into the next store: Hollister. I’ve never bought anything there before
but it’s the closest thing to Abercrombie & Fitch so I thought I’d give it
a shot. I prepared myself for the whole: ‘Welcome to Hollister, here are your
gasmask and your flashlight…’-thing. It was not as bad as I was used to,
meaning I was able to breathe easily and my sight was clear. Right after I went
in, I found the first thing on my list: a plaid shirt. One day down, four more
to go.
Whilst
shopping I kept texting my friend, together trying to come up with ideas for good
outfits.
Charlotte
Russe was not as amazing as I thought it would be. Lots and lots of clothing
items splattered across the store and honestly not having an good clear view on
what they have freaks me out and makes me think their collection is just rubbish
so I didn’t spend more than five minutes in there.

| Wednesday Nerd Day |
Of
course, Forever 21 saved the day. It’s been one of my favourite stores for a
while now and they never disappoint! Again, that means if the staff does a good
job of tidying the store. I bought most of my outfits here. That includes all
the gold accessories for colour day, a laidback pink shirt for lazy day and
glasses for nerd day as well as a collared shirt.
Here
I was walking around the mall carrying all of those bags with me, and god knows
there were a lot, when I walked past a card store. It was almost Papa’s
birthday so I had to go in and see if they had anything suitable for him. Papa
is my host mom’s dad and everybody knows him as Papa, it is basically his name.
It is a bit strange writing it down, as papa is dad in Dutch so I call my dad
papa, you just pronounce it differently but let’s not get into that.
So
I went in and when they asked me if I needed any help I told them I was looking
for a card for an older man who I didn’t know very well, or at all, and the
card had to mention God as that was the only thing I knew he would love. So
they sent me to an isle and told me to look there.

| Thursday Color Day |
The
last store I went into was Old Navy. This is not a store I would normally go
into but as I have been to the mall before with Lauren and Nicole and enjoyed it
then I figured I might as well go and check it out.
