Let the Rain Fall Down and Wake Me Up For Class

Zara Top

Skirt From Bp Nordstrom

Shoes from Target

Belt from my grandmother's closet...

Yes Hillary, wake my dreams, but also, WAKE ME UP FOR CLASS. Here's the thing: college is awesome. The people are awesome. Getting up for class is...not awesome. I am currently writing this as the rain heavily hits the thin walls of my dorm like bullets, how it one expected to leave such a comfy bed? Anyway, the outfit above I did not wear to class, (because I look like a literal hobo whenever I go to class) but I wore it to dinner and church! I randomly threw it on like 5 minutes before I left the house, so I guess maybe I could wear this to class? Just playing... but this is just a black and white high/low skirt with a neon orange top and sandals! I love the color contrast in this one and it's definitely something you can incorporate in your daily wardrobe! 

Peace, Love, and Hillary Duff,

Beach

Top from L'amore at JCP

Kate Spade Necklace

Lost brand shorts from Vignette's

Ah yes, summer. A time for excessive tanning, sleeping, and eating, and, what better place to do all of that stuff than THE BEACH?  The beach is a magical place. It has great food, great weather(most of the time), and great backdrops for photos. What could go wrong?

                                               

(actual photo of my best friend at the beach) 

Obviously the majority of the population is forgetting that when you combine self-conscious girls in bikinis and a vast body of water that they are expected to walk around like Victoria Secret models, many, MANY things can go wrong. I'm talking sunburns, bathing suits coming untied accidentally, tripping while walking past of a frat collection of guys looking like Channing Tatum/Ryan Gosling hybrids, the list goes on. 

(actual photo of me at the beach) 

Often times these things result in hiding under a big umbrella(ella) and drinking capri suns (works for me). But, when it's absolutely imperative that you venture out into the salty shores where dead jellyfish and drunk people wash up, it is possible to look decent!

In the outfit above these awk beach pics, I'm wearing a funky tank with tons of neon colors. Neon colors make you look tan, keep calm and wear neon at the beach(sorry about that). On the bottom I'm just wearing denim lace shorts for a casual, yet cute vibe. For the final, and most important piece, I'm wearing a colorful necklace. My advice to make a fun, free people-y outfit while on the beach is to pile on the jewelry. Although I'm only wearing one necklace, this one really speaks for itself. 

Oh yeah, another tip for the beach is something I like to call A.W.S.A.A.T.A. It means, Always Wear Sunglasses At All Times Always. I think it speaks for itself.

This outfit makes me happy. It's comfy. It's colorful. It's cute. Enough said. I think pairing a comfy sweatshirt type top with a nice looking necklace can completely transform an outfit from lazy to lovely. Try grabbing your favorite pullover and add a statement necklace!

Things

 

 

Top from vignettes

Scarf from Anthropologie

Belt from Gap

Jeans from Madewell

 

I am just wearing lots of things in this outfit...........But I think it works, right? I'm wearing this super cute polka dot top tucked into my favorite Madewell jeans with a hot pink belt! Then I threw a summer-y scarf on and a high pony(I'm trying to bring high ponies back...). I also tucked my top in only a little in the front on my jeans-something I've seen a lot of lately. You should try it! Also, never be afraid to pull out a summer scarf! They will keep you warm in a freezing school.
