Though it feels like summer’s just begun, the reality is that it’s almost over – and we say that in the least spirit-dampening way possible. For most of you, it’s time to take your golden tan straight to a classroom and trade your patio mojito for a coffee-dazzled all-nighter. School. The beautiful land of learning we all know and (subjectively) love. Sigh.
Dani and I have already completed our degrees and hung up our conventional educational institution hats foreva, so we’re excited about a whole whack of other things happening in September (all of which may or may not include jumping jacks, leap frog, cart wheels, and whatever else is happening in the above video). !BUT! we’ve got a lil’ surprise to get the rest of you amped up for Back To School: a Forever 21 contest! Whooooooo!!!
We’re giving away a $150 gift card to one lucky human. That’s 1.5 Forever 21 Benjamins to get swaggy for the new school year – which is quite the number considering the sale they got goin’ on right now. Like, look at this $18 backpack. Too good. Also, did I just say “get swaggy?” Lol.
Anyway, entering is simple. All you have to do is follow Forever 21 on Twitter, Instagram and Facebook through the Rafflecopter app at the bottom of this post. Then, leave a comment below with your favourite item from their Back To School collection. The contest closes in a week (Wednesday, August 13 at 11:59 PM) so hop to it ASAP/after you scroll through these dramatic tennis court photos.
a Rafflecopter giveaway
**Contest open to Canadian residents (excluding Quebec) only**
PS if you are a dancer, you should maybe probably also enter Forever 21’s other Back To School contest for a cool $10,000 scholarship. You’re welcome.
