One of my favorite things in the world is clothes and fashion. Sometimes I love to dress up, sometimes I just really love casual and comfortable clothes, but 98% of the time I want to look cute. (leaving that 2% for those sick days or days where I just don’t care). Clothes and fashion are such a wonderful way to express yourself and show the world who you are. I love wearing an outfit that I feel good in, I love dressing for me! If it happens to impress or look nice to others, that’s just a bonus. Always dress for yourself!
I went to a high school where there was a general uniform so I learned to express “taste” through accessories and doing my hair. When I graduated and went to college it was like a whole new world. I could suddenly wear anything I wanted! After being in college for a full year, I fell into that rut of “wearing whatever is easy and comfortable” which also meant, not always the cutest outfit either. So as I’m growing, my taste is changing sometimes, trends are changing, and I’ve learned that I prioritize comfort way more than I used to. So I think I might do a series of posts like this, but this is just a general starting point. I’m here to share some of my go to outfits for the beginning of the school year, when it’s still warm and you can squeeze in those last summer outfits! This doesn’t even need to be a college specific post, these could even be for high school too. But, anyways, here we go, my three go-to outfits in college!
- High-wasted shorts and tucked in t-shirt
This is what I wore on the first day of classes this year. I lived in these shorts this summer! They were button up, somewhat high-wasted jean shorts with a crochet trim. I also LOVE this t-shirt! It has a cute, little red outline of Mickey Mouse on the pocket (I am a Disney fanatic). i paired with my good ole red Keds and a red hair bow! I love hair bows, I always have. I wore them all the time when I was a little girl and they just pull the outfit together very nicely. I like this outfit because these shorts are very comfortable, not too tight or restricting (like some jeans and shorts can be). Tennis shoes are always a cute and comfortable addition to an outfit as well. Its somewhat minimal but still looks like you thought about your outfit!
2: Casual, Light Dress
Another one of my favorite outfits to wear is just a light, casual dress. This can be a sundress or any kind of dress really. My favorite one is this super comfy t-shirt dress. It has a nice swing in the shirt, its such soft material, and its only one article of clothing! (no pants, yay!!!) You can’t see in the picture but I just have a pair of black sandals on to go with it. I just add some earrings, a necklace, and sometimes a sweater and you’re good to go!
This is what I wore today! It was cloudy and has been raining for almost a week so excuse the craziness of this photo. All I’m wearing is a cami tank top with a light little cardigan, a cute scarf, and skinny jeans. Add some black converse and you got a casual cute outfit!
Now, don’t be fooled! I also wear gym shorts/leggings and tshirts/sweatshirts a good 40% of the time. Which, in my opinion, there is nothing wrong with that! I just try to balance out those days with days where I put effort into my look! I plan on doing posts like this every so often, sort of like a series! So be on the lookout for more posts like these! Hope you enjoyed!
