College Style and How to Work With What You've Got

College Style and How To Work With What You've Got

Hey ladies, it's about that time! Those grueling college nights will be right around the corner and you need to be prepared. We're not going to talk about homework, tests, studying...anything of that nature. We're talking about STYLE, and how you can work with what you've got during the semester. Whether you're a freshman or a soon to be graduating senior these little tips that I'm going to give you, will and should be used; they're simple steps to follow and of course an easy "A" in the style department.

Now, these are not new tips that you haven't heard of before. All of you at some point in time, have heard of them and used them in your everyday wardrobe. The 3 B's of College Style-be daring, be you, be comfy! When you wake up in that 20x20  dorm room, you need to chant this mantra before you spend hours upon hours looking for that ultimate look to wear to class. Yes, you should be focused on your studies and what not, but if you don't feel and look your best, you are most certainly not going to past that test...am I wrong? Ladies, you and I have had our fair share of just waking up and throwing on something. Well, not this time! Follow these tips and hopefully you'll be spending 30 minutes or less looking for an outfit instead of 2 hours. It will be a struggle I guarantee you, but it can happen!

Let's define the 3 B's- Be Daring; find pieces in your closet that you "think" may work with your outfit, or something that you've thought about wearing, but don't have the guts to wear. Wear it girl! That bright pink fedora or those hounds-tooth shorts that you've been eyeing for weeks, need to be worn. They're in your closet for crying out loud! Pair that fedora with a loose fitting t-shirt dress and denim shorts. Or style up those hounds-tooth shorts with a plain white blouse and black sandals. However you style those interesting pieces, just make sure to style it according to your personal look. That brings me to the second B of style-be you. I'm sure all of you have heard about the rules of fashion and the do's and don'ts, but screw those rules! The world of fashion is all about creativity and making it your own. Don't conform to the style around you, be an individual. And be comfy, especially on campus. Do not wear anything that will cut off the circulation in your legs, feet, thighs, or any body part really. If some pieces are form fitting like your crop top or shorts that's ok, just pair it up with something loose fitting to balance it all out.

The overall message to take away from this is to have fun with your wardrobe and try new things, you never know what pieces may or may not work for you if you don't try it. Your wardrobe should define your personality and who you are on the inside and out. Be yourself on campus-not only through your wardrobe, but through your amazing personality. And be fashionably comfortable on campus. From one lady to another, that  super cute, short body-con skirt in your closet need not to be worn unless you're okay with pulling down your skirt every five minutes. Take it from me...
