Black and White

After a long weekend, I was not ready to go back to school today. But since I was forced to, I decided to dress up a little to make me feel better about being locked up for 8 hours.

Today I went for a basic, black and white outfit. I put on my favorite jeans from American Eagle and a new button-up blouse with a pretty plaid print from Forever 21. To dress it up some more I put on some chunky earrings, and cool d’orsay flats from Nine West.

For hair and makeup, I did a big teased up bun for extra drama and simple eye shadow with winged eyeliner. And of course I had to have a pop of color, so I swiped on some hot pink lipstick (Revlon ColorStay in Muse)!

So in love with this look and how bright my lips look against my simple outfit. Whenever you run out of ideas for clothes, try something new with your makeup!

Bohemian Edge

 

Wednesday’s are always the hardest day of the week, so I wanted to relax and wear something a bit more comfortable. I went for a bohemian vibe today.. with a little bit of an edge.

I put on my favorite skinnies and a black chiffon tank. Starting out with simple pieces is like starting off with a blank canvas, you can really do anything. Because of my school’s strict dress code, I had to wear a cardigan over my tank, which is no big deal because this flowy, lightweight cardigan I found at H&M is perfect. I actually wore this cardigan A LOT over the summer, and I love how versatile it is. To add an unexpected twist, I put on these gorgeous heeled gladiator sandals. I’m obsessed with the punk rock detailing, and they are actually extremely comfotable. I was so lucky to have found these $130 sandals at Urban Outfitters for only $29! They make every outfit look so much cooler.

Mixing styles is one of my favorite things to do, and it is so easy with the right pieces. Don’t be afraid to experiment with clothing and pair things together that you normally wouldn’t.

Cool girl in school

School is unfortunately starting soon and I am currently seeking out some new pieces to add to my collection. Dresses are my favorite thing to wear because they are super cute and easy to throw on.  Recently I popped into Target to buy a new phone charger, and of course I ended up buying this adorable dress.This one is perfect because of its versatility, and the busy print doesn’t call for a lot of accessories. Because it is still 90 degrees outside, I kept it cool and casual with a pair of cutout oxford flats (also purchased at Target for a steal of $8). But, when it gets a little colder out, tights and ankle boots will make it even cuter for the fall.

When shopping, I look for pieces that I can wear in different ways, and even in different seasons. That way, I can get creative and it feels like I’m wearing something new every time.

BTW- Why is my pug a better model than I am?!
