Affordable Clothes Replace Midterm Woes

The library stays open late, coffee at Burgess is coveted more than a sandwich from Legends, and carefully planned outfits are replaced with sweatshirts and Uggs: these are the telltale signs of midterm week at Skidmore. But at the end of the suffering lies the beacon of hope known as Spring Break. Whether you're heading home or off for a week at a beach paradise, don't let your dwindling bank account scare you from investing in some new clothes to help spice up your well deserved break!??

For The Lucky Few:??If you're ready to shed your winter coat and don a bikini and summer dress, check out Old Navy for some options that will leave you with plenty of money to indulge in summer time drinks once you hit the beach. With bikinis starting at $16.50 and dresses for $15.00, you won't feel an ounce of guilt for a little pre-departure shopping spree.

For the Homeward Bound:??This is Skidmore, so barring the lucky few to whom home means somewhere deliciously warm, many of us are heading back to our northeast abodes. But don't let that get you down; spring really does seem to be on its way. It's worth the trek to the Wilton Mall to check out the recent arrivals at Forever 21, where $30.00 is the limit on almost any article of clothing. Give in to temptation with a spring inspired top and sweater that will keep you warm while fostering the hope that the warmth will soon come.?

For the Snow Lovers:??For those of you who can't give up the snow quite yet and have opted to spend spring break skiing or snowboarding, spice up your familiar winter wardrobe with a new hat or scarf from Urban Outfitters. Now that spring is on the way, all of our winter favorites are on sale, so go ahead and have a little guilt-free shopping spree.

??Have fun, be safe, and look fabulous!
