1. The Naked Sandal

This shoe has been dubbed the naked heel by influencers and stylists due to its lack of coverage. The lace-up chunky heel accentuates your legs and adds glam to every outfit without breaking the bank. You can own a pair for only $32.99 on Amazon. 

2. Cowl Neck Slip Dress

This year, cowl neck slip style dresses are all the rage. The light fabric clings to your curves without being too revealing. An affordable version of this type of dress can be found at Urban Outfitters for $49. The cowl neck is flattering on all body types, and the silky fabric will keep you cool as you dance the night away!

3. Mini Wrap Dresses

Wrap dresses are great because they accentuate your waist while highlighting your curves. This dress is a fun twist on the basic bodycon dress. The wrap style adds effortless flair to your outfit! Check out this dress at Forever 21 for only $17.99!

4. Gold Hoop Earrings

Gold earrings add elegance to any outfit, but heart hoop earrings are a must-have accessory! Snag this pair for $15 on Amazon!

 

I am a senior at Harvard College studying Applied Mathematics with a specialization in Economics, and I am planning on getting a language citation in Spanish. I am currently a co-president and campus correspondent of Harvard's chapter of Her Campus! I am also a committee chair of a student organization that works with University Health Services called HealthPALs (Peer Advisors and Liaisons). Additionally, I am a member and co-director of service in OAASIS (Organization of Asian American Sisters in Service). Apart from that, I spend a lot of my time as a Learning Lab Undergraduate Fellow at the Harvard Derek Bok Center for Teaching and Learning. I am also the co-founder of a project at the Office of Diversity of Inclusion at Harvard. I am super passionate about math, health, and higher education! In my free time I love to work out, experiment with makeup and fashion, visit museums, and try new foods!
