My my, how ashamed I am that I've not posted since August! A LOT has happened over the past few months.
Starting College, taking on an internship, and joining an Accapella group are just a few of the things that are keeping me busy - but I promise, now that I know how much time I need to dedicate to my classes/extracurriculars, I promise I will be making more frequent posts!
This week, I thought I'd get back into the swing of things with a good ol' outfit set, inspired by College, and different styles I've seen around campus (or have hoped to) :)
Prepster Twist: This look is comprised of a few classic pieces that I would recommend everyone have in there closets - the collared shirt, and a pair of burgundy slacks. Modernize them by throwing a sweater with a pop of color on over top, and a pair of combat boots, and you've got yourself an outfit perfect for walking around campus on those chilly, perhaps rainy days. Trade the ordinary backpack for a satchel for an added "chic factor".
Casually Cool: Now this is a look that I've seen quite a bit here on my campus in California. Jean shorts are a popular choice for bottoms, but put a personal spin on them by pairing them with pieces that give the look a direction. Here, by pairing them with a pair of neutral-toned gladiators, and a tribal-print backpack, we take the look from plain to earthy with a bit of edge. See the power that a few added personality pieces can have an a look?
Date Night: No, I can't say this is one of the looks I've seen here at school on the weekends, or any time for that matter, but I wish it could be! This is more of the type of look that I would go for on a night out. Instead of the bandage skirt and crop top (which I've seen a number of times), maybe some of you out there would opt for a more demure look. I'm aware though that the bows and collar may be a tad much for some, but it's all a personal taste thing! I'm really loving envelope clutches right now too, and I think they can add some edge to a sweeter kind of look such as this.
Q of the Day: What are some staple, college outfit pieces that you can always rely on in a pinch? Leave your responses in the comments section bellow :)
Keep Classy and Chic,
