Dressing for the Occasion

With so many new trends always coming out, it's hard to focus on the ones that are worth trying, especially in university/college. Sometimes there's just no time to look cute, and whatever doesn't smell is the first thing that makes it on you. That's okay! But, for those times where you do consider what to wear, here are some choices for different occasions!

Dress To Impress: Interview
Dressing the part for an interview is always important! While you don't have to look super fancy, looking professional is always key. In this outfit I paired a few basic things to make a great interview outfit.
Here's a formula for a great int
1. Blazer - A blazer is a great thing to have in your wardrobe. Whether you need it for an interview, or it becomes part of your daily wardrobe, you can never go wrong with a great black blazer. They come in all different price ranges and you can get some for pretty cheap.
2. Nice Tank Top - When picking a shirt, make sure you're not showing too much cleavage. Pick a nice but modest looking one, I chose this one because it gives a nice pop of colour.
3. Leggings or Dress Pants - I've worn both for an interview, so choose what you're more comfortable in.
4. Flats or Heels - Again, up to you! Whatever you feel comfortable in :)

Class
I've put together two different outfits here, both of them use the same basic pieces: Jeans, a cardigan, a tank top, and boots.
The first look I created is for those of you who dress up a little bit more, hence the sparkly top.
The second look is more simple, with a a plain but pretty coloured tank top and ugg-like boots. Add a scarf if you want to add a little bit more.
This is for any day of the week, when we all take a break from our sweatpants.

Going Out
Here I did two different types of outfits that you can wear when you're going out.
First: a little bit dressier and edgier. The black body-con skirt is really popular now, and you're going to see it everywhere. The shoes add a bit of an edgy vibe to the outfit. This can either be worn with the lace tank top, or the purple one.
Second: This is for those of you who aren't a huge fan of the whole tight, short skirt thing. You can totally look great, and feel more comfortable! For this look, I paired some black jeggings, a cream lace top and bright red heels to give it a pop of colour. You can also do it with the blue tank top, and switch the colour of your heels around - blue and red don't always go together. 

Weekend
Here's an easy going outfit look that I designed.
Sweatpants are comfy and great for weekends, or just anytime! Grab your favourite kind, a white t-shirt and throw on your fave sneakers or toms! Cute and comfortable.
Another possible option is putting on some comfy leggings and your favourite and well worn band shirt.

Business Casual Events
You never know when you're going to need a classy outfit thats not over the top, but not too frumpy either. Whether you're doing a presentation in front of your class, or going out to a nice restaraunt, you'll probably need something nice to wear over the course of your schooling.
A fit 'n flare dress in a different colour always works, pair it with some tights and either some ankle booties or flats with nice detail and you're ready to rock whatever you've got planned.

Afternoon (or eternity) at the Library
Studying is going to happen, so you might as well be comfortable while you're doing it. Throw on your comfiest jeans, your softest t shirt and some trusty converse, and you're ready to study the day away. Or, pull on your warmest sweater and your yoga pants, slip on your shoes, and you're out the door!

I hope some of these outfits helped you, with so little time in school sometimes it's hard to decide what to eat, nevermind what you're going to wear to the next party.
Enjoy :)
