Outfit of the Day Inspiration: 04/27/2012

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Portland chapter.

FRIDAY- Weekend Out!

With Dead Week drawing to a close and full on crunch time fast approaching, you might still feel the urge to get off campus or even just go enjoy the sun with your friends.  Everyone needs a break around this time of the school year, and while we are all likely burned out and stressed, it can still be easy to find something cute to wear without too much effort.

Outfit#1: Date-Worthy Day Dress!
If you have a significant other here at school, this weekend might be one of the last opportunities to bond before summer.  Take a break with your honey and have a picnic on the quad or take a stroll downtown in this easy yet feminine look.  Start with a soft, flowy maxi dress in a pretty color, adding a cropped denim jacket to ward off the breeze.  Belt the dress at the waist with a thin braided belt to keep it from being too voluminous.  Finish with flat, comfortable sandals.

Outfit#2: Summery Skirt!
Full disclosure: Rosie Huntington-Whitely is my all-time favorite model.  Her looks are always a mix between simple chic and goddess-worthy sexy.  Her street-style pictured here would be a good inspiration for your own weekend look.  Take a past-the-knee skirt in an interesting color, or try a trendy high-low skirt instead.  Up top, tuck in a loose white tank top and fix a narrow neutral belt low across your waist.  Pretty earrings and flat sandals finish off the look while a bright red bag adds a pop of contrasting color.

Hailing from eastern Washington, Julia attends the University of Portland in Oregon, as a Communication Studies major with an emphasis on Journalism. As a magazine and book junkie, Julia reads everything (and anything) she can get her hands on, especially those passionate on young adult culture and entertainment. A woman that gets stir-crazy easily, Julia has been fortunate to have traveled many summers in a row to foreign countries, including a study abroad course in Austria, Germany, and Great Britain. Since a ripe age, she has grown and cultivated her passion and dream of working for a magazine and spreading awareness as well as happiness through the tips of her fingers. Always finding time for herself, Julia can frequently be found quoting movie lines (most frequently Will Ferrell or Vince Vaughn), having a 90's dance party with her roommates, or rereading "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows" for the 40th time.
