Want a new look but can’t spare the cash because you’re saving for that amazing spring break trip? Recycle and renew your wardrobe with these five fashion tips that are sure to take you from drab to fab with items that are already in your closet.
Layer – When layering, be sure to pull out your favorite dress. Pair with a cute cardigan or blazer and add a scarf to complete the look. This look is effortless and perfect to dress up a drab day. It can turn any of the dresses you already own into a more winter/fall appropriate look! It is also the perfect outfit to wear out at night or on a date!
Add a boot – Take your normal everyday outfit and add boots, cowboy boots to be exact. These suckers aren’t just for the rodeo anymore but perfect for Rodeo Drive! Embrace your inner southern girl! Cowboy boots can be paired with anything from your favorite tee and skinny jeans to a cute day dress with a cardigan. They can dress up any look without looking like you are trying too hard!
Lazy Day – Turn your normal yoga pants and a t-shirt into a chic but comfortable lazy day look. You can keep the oversized shirt, but instead wear it with leggings, boots and bangles. This is a great blah-day outfit. You will feel comfortable but with these simple accessories and the right makeup, you’ll still be fabulous.
Warm day weather – Try cuffing your favorite pair of straight legs or skinny jeans to create a crew cut or Capri style pant. Not only is it extremely easy but also you’ll look like you just stepped out of a J. Crew magazine, which is never a bad thing! Pair with a cute blouse, tuck it in, and add a belt and flips. Top it all off with your favorite pair of sunglasses. This preppy chic look will catch people’s eye as you walk around campus.
Shorts – Pull out your shorts ladies! If it’s a warm day, wear them with a long-sleeved billowy top. This way if there is a breeze, you’ll still be covered enough. Even if it is a little chilly outside the shorts will still work! Add a pair of tights and boots and rock those shorts all day long! You’ll be ready to go anywhere.
It is tempting to run out and buy a new wardrobe every laundry day but lets face it, we are normal broke college students, not the Kardashian sisters who can afford to buy couture clothes on the daily. While it would be nice to live the celebrity life, next time you are at loss for what to wear, or feel like your look is starting to repeat, think about these quick tips and I promise you will end up looking adorable.
