What To Wear When You Have Nothing To Wear

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

 

We all have those days where we just don’t have anything to wear even though our closets are overflowing with clothes. The problem for me is usually a lack of inspiration, so to fix that I always go on tumblr or to my favorite fashion blogs to help me out. From there I can figure out how to pair the clothing I already own in unexpected ways. So here are some ideas that will hopefully help you out when you have nothing to wear!

Now I don’t expect you to walk around campus in a tulle skirt but you can make this extravagant outfit your own and also class appropriate. I had an old white lace dress from Forever 21 lying around and I threw on a plaid shirt on top and buttoned it up. Layer any dress under a button up to make a skirt and cinch in your waist with a belt if your dress is a little “puffy” under the shirt.

Take this blogger’s cue and pair a chambray shirt under any colored chunky knit sweater and pair with leopard flats (all items you most likely already have in your closet!). If you don’t have leopard flats try a pair of worn out converse to keep the look from being too preppy.

When I really have nothing to wear, my go to outfit is a striped t-shirt with a denim or flannel shirt and black skinny jeans. But to make the look more put together try layering on a blazer!
