Hello Lovely Ladies of UNCG!
So, I know that we have already talked about the inevitable moving clock drawing us closer to final exams. I also know if you are anything like me, that you are still in denial that they are only 1 week away! We all know with those exams comes studying, securing the grades we desire, preparing to move out, and whole lot more. Another dilemma that we encounter during finals is… fashion issues! So, to try and help with those last minute outfits we put on during exams, I have compiled this list of essentials/ ideas.
-
First essential item for survival during finals week is no stranger to most… the beloved yoga pants.
Yoga pants are great to have during finals week because they are comfortable and can be put with any shirt that matches to create a clean- cut look. Plus you can easily slide back into bed with them on after your exam.
-
Second essential item for survival during finals week is… the headwrap.
Head wraps are great to have during finals week because you can look “dressed up” without much effort. You have a quick hairstyle in minutes and they are cheap to find in many colors and styles.
-
Third essential item for survival during finals weeks is… your favorite jacket, hoodie, or cardigan.
Having a stylish piece of outerwear is great to have during finals week because it can make you look more put together than you feel. It’s also useful for the cold classrooms during exams! There are options for lighter outerwear to heavier depending on weather, so you are not limited.
BONUS!!
I also know that hair is a big deal, so listed below are a few quick suggestions:
-
Twists: Create twists on both sides of head and pin back, twist into ponytail, etc
-
Bun: Messy bun, sock bun, bun with bangs, bun with pieces left out on side, bun with twist, etc.
-
Ponytails: high pony, low pony, pigtails, curled – end pony,etc
-
And for my naturals: Master your wash and go with your favorite shampoo/conditioner, oil, and leave in. Do not comb hair with comb and use a blow dryer to dry hair a little to speed up drying process.
And there you have it! A list of few items I am pretty sure you already own, that can be essential when it comes to finals week. Remember during finals week, the simplest outfit will look like the best outfit. Most importantly, fashion does not really matter during finals time. The most important thing is going and conquering those exams !
