Design on a Dime #1

The average college student is poor. Student loans, weekend shenanigans, parent's cutting us off financially; we have no spare money. Look at our diets: ramen noodles, ramen noodles, and more ramen noodles. Satisfying both in the stomach and in the bank account. Okay I lied, not satisfying at all. If the dwindling digits on our accounts was not enough, we also have classes to worry about AND the ever important task of looking fly. Yes, I just you used the word fly. Don't hate.

Lucky for you readers, I too feel the strain of wanting to look stylishly fabulous while not breaking the bank. So here I present you with great spring ensembles at GREAT prices! Please don't jump up and down in your lecture hall seats with excitement, you might disrupt your painfully fascinating class on the homogeneous second order constant coefficient linear ordinary differential equation describing the harmonic oscillator. Oh boyyy, just typing that makes me want to study! Hmm...
