Dress Classy to Class: 5 Easy Looks for Fall and Feeling Fabulous

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

It’s that time of year again! The weather is completely bi-polar and figuring out what to wear to class each day is becoming a constant struggle. Tests and homework keep piling up and all you want to do is have your bed become your amazing new boyfriend who will never leave you. As we transition from the sizzling summer to the festive fall, our temptation to leave for class rocking those yoga pants and a hoodie is all too real. Fear no more! I have come up with five fun and fashionable looks that will help you stay comfortable (even with the changing weather) and still look effortlessly trendy!

 

1)   “The Teacher’s Pet”: This outfit looks like it took hours to put together when in reality it is just a matter of matching colors! Find any patterned skirt, pair it with a neutral top and you will have people asking “What are you all dressed up for?” all day long! To add even more flair, pair it with a statement necklace, ballet flats, and gold bangles; you’ll be top of the “class” for sure!

2)   “The Comfortable Cutie”: Obviously we all have those days when going to class looking cute seems impossible. If you’re ever feeling like this, the maxi dress and scarf combination should be your game time go-to! Enhance the look with some bangles and gladiator sandals and you won’t ever remember why dressing up is hard!

3)   “The Pretty Prep”: If you have ever read “The Official Preppy Handbook” you know what’s in order. Matching scarf and skirt? Yes! This outfit is perfect for test day and blowing all insecurities out the window. Finish the look off by adding your favorite Alex and Ani collection and Sperrys that insert “prep” to any outfit.

4)   “The Boho Babe”: An outfit like this requires only one item: a hip patterned dress that is stylish enough all by itself. Throw on an intricate pair of sandals and your outfit will be complete in a matter of minutes-not to mention you will definitely have the most unique look of the day.

5)   “The Ultimate Blair Waldorff”: Having a morning where you wake up and know it’s going to be a great day? This outfit is perfect for a day when confidence is key and you know you’ve got it going on. Pair a plaid dress with pearl everything: necklace, bracelet and of course that matching headband. To finish it off, add a pair of medium-size wedges or heals and you will be the most poised and put together girl in every room you enter!

 

When the going gets rough and you press the snooze button on your alarm one too many times this fall, be prepared with any of these easy and chic outfits that will scream “I have my life together” even if you might not. Remember confidence is crucial and you can achieve anything if you’ve dressed for success!

XOXO and Happy Fall!:)
