If you are a typical college student like me, you most likely wake up 20 minutes before your first class. Your bad timing should not stop you from wearing a cute outfit, though (#TheWorldisYourRunway). Next time you have a time crunch, try these tips to make your comfy outfit cute:
1. Accessorize
Accessories can make an otherwise normal outfit special. I love pairing dainty gold necklaces with a plain v-neck and a pair of leggings. It adds a little something special to a plain outfit. You can try layering them to add dimension to your outfit, too.
2. Add a jean jacket
When it’s cold outside you sometimes just want to wear a comfy, oversized sweater with a pair of leggings. I like making this casual outfit more put-together by adding a classic jean jacket. Denim goes with everything, so investing in a jean jacket is definitely worth it.
I personally find athletic clothes to be super comfy. With more companies making athletic apparel (like Forever 21 and Target), this trend has finally hit the mainstream fashion world. Wearing an athletic top to class can not only make it look like you have your life together, it can also make it look like you actually work out — it masks the reality that you have ust rolled out of bed 20 minutes ago (#LifeHack.)
4. Wear layers
Fall weather is very unpredictable. It can be 50 degrees in the morning and 75 by the end of the day. Not only is wearing layers cute, it also prepares you for any type of weather. I usually like to layer my outfits with bralettes. This is good for many reasons — you do not have to wear a bra and it adds different textures and patterns to your outfit.
Don’t let your desire to be comfy keep you from dressing cute this fall! With so many options in fashion, you have the freedom to show up to class dressed for success and comfort.
