This winter has seemingly been dragging on for longer than usual, although springtime is slowly creeping up on us! The overall goal to set during the transition between winter and spring is to make a statement to your fellow classmates that as Elsa once said, “The cold never bothered me anyway!”
Out with the Old, In with the New
The first step in any renovation is to clear out the old! We all have those articles of clothing that we have nostalgic attachment to but never wear, but ladies it is time to pack those up and make room in your already-jam-packed dorm closet. Remember you are not separating from these items for life; it’s ok to set them aside for the main stage of your closet.
Thrift Swap
Don’t bother working overtime or embarrassingly asking your parents that you need money in order to supplement the style trends of the spring. If you can take time out of your day go to Plato’s Closet or visit Vinted.com and Poshmark.com with those cute pieces of clothing that you hardly wear, and sell them while using that money to buy new statement pieces.
Reduce, Reuse, Recycle
First grade teachers taught us the best motto, which is also applicable to our wardrobe. You may have thought of your summer and winter clothes as Romeo and Juliet but I promise you they CAN be happy together!
Examples include:
· High waisted jeans, a crop top and a cardigan
· Boots, a flirty skirt and your favorite sweater
· A romper, blazer and heels to show off the progress of leg day
Brighten Up!
You’ve been waiting for this warm weather for way too long so you might as well express your gratitude to Mother Nature for finally doing you a favor. Black and white may have been the designated comfort for color in the winter but now is the time to outwardly appreciate the impending end of the semester in pastels, neon’s and prints.
Express Confidence
There’s no point in having this great new wardrobe if you aren’t planning on strutting through your day like you just won an Emmy, Oscar, VMA or all three. Wear these outfits with confidence and you will set trends for everyone around you, even if you’re recycling fashion ideas. Overall, own the runway like a Victoria Secret’s model!
