Style: Back to School

So, the summer of 2012 is coming to an end and the school year is vastly approaching. Sad to say but at least you have your wardrobe styling to think about! If you know me, you know I absolutely adore shopping!!! It’s my favorite sport :) Any who, I came up with three totally different looks for back to school.  These outfits were definitely inspired by my personal style. I hope you enjoy them.

OK, let’s get started:

Outfit #1 is more of a casual look. I combined a basic white skinny jean with a denim button-down that ties in the front; optional, of course! You can always partially tuck the shirt in if you don’t want to wear it tied. Honestly, I would prefer it tied; it makes it look simple and more feminine. I wanted to complete this outfit with a pair leopard print flats to make more of a statement. I LOOOOOVE leopard print shoes, especially ballet flats! Flats are more comfortable to walk in when you have classes all over campus. Let’s talk accessories. I added gold and leopard bangles to match with the gold accents on the ballet flats. Simple pearl stud earrings will say more than you know even though they kind of look plain. They scream sophistication to me. I also added a pearl necklace because I adore anything kind of jewelry with pearls! I wanted to go modest with the bag so I thought a simple light tan-ish colored cross-body bag would do just fine here. A nice smokey eye and a nude lip will tie this entire look together.

Outfit #2 is definitely a “girly- girl” look. I wanted to create a more ladylike look with this pretty dress. It’s a chiffon autumn inspired dress with olive green and coral colored leaves printed on it. I think it makes a statement! It yells classy and chic to me. I’ve become a huge fan of stud earrings so I thought the gold studs would go. I didn’t add a necklace because the dress has sort of a high neckline. But, if you want to wear a necklace with it, go for it! I wouldn’t judge. Since I love pink nail polish, I HAD to add it with this look. I think it’ll look good paired with a pink lip and neutral makeup, again. (I love neutral colored makeup but I hate neutral colored nail polish; lol don’t judge) And lastly: shoes! I decided to go with tan wedge heels. The tan wedges complete this look to me.

Outfit #3 is my favorite! I wanted this look to be more of a laid back outfit so I paired this simple white blouse with a pair of pastel pink denim shorts. I’m in love with this particular color pink!  I added floral printed heel wedges to complete the look. Now, you can change the wedges for a pair of nude flats if you don’t necessarily agree with the floral print. In my opinion, I love it! It works well for me. I’m not a big fan of huge sized sunglasses, but I added some to set a more casual tone for this outfit. You can never go wrong with diamond studs. They equal style and elegance. The pink bow necklace and pastel pink ring add a nice touch and they both match with the shorts. The beige envelope clutch ties the whole outfit together perfectly.

If I didn’t have to dress in blue and white nursing scrubs all day every day, I would most definitely wear all three of these looks!! I hope you enjoy them. Let me know what you think.

Have a good Tuesday!!!!
