Back to school fashion

This post may be a little late for those who already started school, but here are a few tips and trends that may give you some inspiration when dressing for school.

1. Trend: High waisted pants

high waisted shorts were a huge trend this summer. But now since we are now transitioning into fall, its time to take the highwasted shorts to a whole new level. You can keep out the chills by wearing leggings or tights under your highwaisted shorts, or you can get highwaisted jeans. Highwaisted jeans are great because they are very flaterring and can make your waist look slimmer. I really like BDG jeans from urbanoutfitters becasue they are very formfitting, comfortable, and stretchy. They are quite expensive (running for $58), but you can always catch them on a sale, and I think they are a good investment peice.

2. Tip: Dress how you wanna dress
Its fun to follow the trends and latest fashions, but theres nothing more refreshing than someone who stands out of the crowd by dressing in their own unique way. You may get criticized for it, but its most important to dress in what makes you happy and confident. Be true to yourself ! (:

3.  Trend: Lace

Lace was a huge trend this summer as well, and its time to incorporate it into our fall wardrobe. Lace can be very feminine, romantic, and light, but it can also be dark, mysterious, and vampy. It depends on  the colors you choose and the way that you style the lace.

When I wear lace, I try to keep all other textures plain and simple, becasue you dont want the textures to clash and look too gauzy (unless you like the look of that, of course). Also, I would reccomend wearing something underneath your lacy garments since lace can be pretty seethrough and you want to look appropiate for school.

To incorporate those pretty lacy dresses and shirts that you wore nonstop this summer into your fall outfits, simply add layers! Cardigans are great for keeping you warm, but still letting the cute lace shirt/dress peek through. I love wearing chunky cardis over a cute lace shurt for a boho chic, easy and comfy style.

4. Tip: Keep an oversized sweater in your locker

Ever have one of those days when you wake up on the wrong side of the bed, have to rush to school, and once you get there find out that your outfit looks totally ugly and mismatched? I definetley have. Thats when keeping an oversized sweater in your locker is a total lifesaver. Its also great if you spilled something on your shirt, or your just plain cold. It instantly covers up your terrible outfit, and is super comfortable as well. And it doesnt have to be an oversized sweater; keeping a oversized shirt or a jacket in your locker is helpful as well.
