Hey! So Robin and I are doing this post together :) This is our first time posting together, and this is our second in our back to school series! Yay!
Today we thought we'd go through our absolute must haves (clothing-wise) for back to school this year! We went shopping yesterday, and definitely have a few things to share! Let's get started!
Comment or email us about what your must-haves for this school year are :)
Robin's Top 5:
1-Beanies: Not only are these perfect for bad hair days, but they're super comfy and really easy to throw on to finish out an outfit. Also, this way you never have to worry about second day hair! One of the best ways to wear these are with braids- I LOVE the look of pigtail braids with a beanie!
2- Flannel: Maybe it's my inner hipster but flannel shirts make me go crazy. I feel like the right colored flannel never really looks bad, provided you style it right. I think that they make it way easier to feel like I look good because they're comfy but they fit well. DEFINITELY a must :)
3-Leggings: I'm not really one for wearing leggings as pants, but I think that leggings are awesome for school, especially for under dresses when it gets colder or over-sized sweaters. My personal favorite that I got recently are my burgundy/maroon ones, which I'm (sadly) really excited to wear :)
4- Scarves: I feel like a good, plain (or printed) scarf can really make any outfit look like you put effort in. Paired with flannels and beanies they make outfits look a bit more polished! Plus, they're warm. Which is always kind of fabulous during school. It helps that they go with literally everything.
5- Boots: I have to have my combat boots for back to school. They're crazy comfortable, easy to walk in, and, if you still have to do gym, mine zip off so they're soooo easy to get off! I really recommend them because they literally work with every single outfit! Plus, you won't find yourself worrying about whether or not you're going to get blisters from your flats.
Colleen's Top 5:
1-Blazer: This is probably my absolute favorite thing I got this year! Not only does it fit my style (and might I say, body as well), but it is going to be the eye candy of my jazz performances, but will also look incredible with dark wash skinny jeans, a lacy tank, and some colorful wedges!
2-Comfortable Wedges: As of last year, I have started to wear heels to school to fit my looks, and I always got compliments when I did so. So to switch it up, I figured why not go for a comfortable wedge that is colorful enough to be an accent piece, but also gives length to my legs as all the eyes will be drawn. ;)
3-Loose sweaters: Needless to say, (if you haven't noticed already!) I am head over heels in love with loose sweaters especially those that hang off the shoulder or have studs. These are perfect to wear with those big chucky necklaces and skinny jeans with boots, or even over dresses for a new look! And let's not forget, those lazy days when we roll out of bed and grab those leggings, an over-sized sweater, and a big patterned scarf.
4-Casual skirts/dresses: I am a huge dress girl at heart, and whenever I like to admit it or not, I love to ditch those tight skinny jeans every now and again for that loose yet form fitting dress that has been calling my name. Although guys say they love to see girls in tight leggings, and skinny jeans, try to throw them off-guard by wearing a skirt or a dress every once in a while; it will give you the attention you deserve!
5-Loose (preferably v-neck) short sleeve t-shirts: These are just perfect to pair with yoga pants, jeans, or even with a tight bandage skirt. it keeps the look casual but can easily be dressed up with a pretty scarf or with jewelry. Simply a must-have for back to school!
XOXO
