So, as I enter my junior year of college, I wonder: What should I be wearing? It's a question many growing-ups have to ask in the transition from high school sweats to 3-piece suits.
Or McDonald's uniforms.
So ladies, here are my ideas for growing up up the wardrobe. On a budget!
The wide-leg jeans from Alloy totally cater to the hot Hollywood trend. While I'm not one to hop on bandwagons, I've tried on a pair, and they really are flattering! Plus, with my 37" inseam (true story! I'm 5'11 and alll leg) I'm all for Alloy sizes at the perfect price to try a trend, $31.60 for my size. Make 'em hot, hot, hotter with Steve Madden's bright color pointy-toe pumps peeking underneath, on sale for $29.99. To tone the look down, choose bright flats over heels. Tuck in a crisp, white shirt from Forever21 for $19.80 and strut your fine booty to the head of the class.
My school was voted #1, 2 and 5 party school in the nation for a reason (I'll let you guess which school!)- we need a reason to show off our cute outfits! Although I hate to link Forever21 twice in one blog, I can't even tell you how much adore this black sequin knit dress for $19.80. But it's a bit plain on it's own, so I added edgy purple leggings (until I can find teal ones! do you know any good ones?) from Target for $5. Throwing on ankle boots would look entirely too trendy with this look, so I'll keep it low-key with these metallic skimmers from Urban Outfitters for $29.99, on sale from $125. Sequins should serve as accessories enough, no need for anything but a headband, $2.99 from Wet Seal. Now, get your party on! I mean.. go study!
