The end of the semester is quickly approaching, and as finals and papers loom, we’re spending more money than we ever have on caffeine. So, with our wallets weeping, ORANGE Style imagined what we would by with an extra $100.
Itohan
I ruined one of my favorite pair of jeans during spring break, so I would definitely splurge on a new pair of mid-rise girlfriend jeans from Pacsun — nothing too crazy. With the remaining money, I’d hop onto Amazon and finally buy a replacement charger for my phone because my current USB cable is on it’s last leg. Thanks, Apple.
Sydney
Before, I would have said the Free People “She’s Got It” dress or Pat McGrath’s Skin Fetish 003 makeup highlighter, but in lieu of recent events, I’m forced to say a new Kate Spade wallet. Mine was stolen, so I’d definitely buy a new one. If I had anything left over I head over to Sushi Zushi for a much-deserved tuna tower.
Jasmine
I tend to buy a lot of statement piece jackets and shoes. My closet is usually overflowing with those two pieces, so I would spend $100 on both if I could! A Zara floral bomber and some simple ankle strap espadrilles would be the perfect addition to my wardrobe.
Ethan
I’d definitely get some trendy sneakers from Urban Outfitters. Interesting colors and textured shoes from Converse and other sports brands are in right now, and they complete any outfit.
Steph
I’m a sucker for tarte cosmetics and their packaging, so I would buy their second “tartelette” eyeshadow palette “In Bloom,” as well as their “Rainforest of the Sea” foundation in a heartbeat. I would spend my remaining money on Post-It Notes and a hearty Chicken McNugget meal from McDonalds. Treat yourself, right?
Jenna
Lately, I’ve been impulsively buying unique pieces of jewelry that I would find at small stores, like Maya Star, or from a street vendor on South Congress. If I had $100, I would splurge on a one-of-a-kind piece of jewelry that is versatile enough to wear with any outfit.. With any remaining money, I would enjoy an afternoon snack outside at Café No Sé and order their delicious avocado toast and an iced tea.
Nikki
I’d definitely get a T-shirt from the new Kenzo x Disney line. It features original sketches of the “Jungle Book” characters. I really love when Disney and high fashion meet, so I’d definitely blow money on this overpriced T-shirt.
Rachana
If I had $100, I’d buy a new summer dress from Zara, the Make Up For Ever “Pro Sculpting Duo,” and some boots for my significant other.
Natalie
I have been looking for a knockoff pair of heels from Urban Outfitters for what feels like forever. Priced at $80, these block heels aren’t exactly a bargain, but they are adorable and versatile, and I’d finally get to splurge on them. With the leftover money, I would purchase Golden Girl and fashion icon Rue McClanahan’s memoir.
