Casual campus wear

The floral dresses your mom made you wear for those elementary school pictures are a thing of the past. This season, revamp your wardrobe with some bright bulbs or pastel peonies and pair them with your neutral closet staples. A belted dress or high-waisted skirt flatters all body shapes and screams confidence. You’ll feel as good as you look. Add jewelry and leggings with boots to mix it up. You want to look like a fresh-picked rose, not a mismatched bargain bouquet. Cute wedges or gladiator sandals finish off your look, literally adding some spring in your step.


Girl Next Door

Pastels are taking over this spring, so finding core items that you can mix and match are key. These denim cutoffs are simple, but the vintage floral inset in the pockets make them something special. Shorts can be paired with virtually any pair of shoes, but a half-calf slouch boot will accentuate those long legs and give you that extra confidence to strut your stuff across campus. A belt is always a cute accessory, and you might add a thin belt in any color. Accessorize to pick up subtle colors in your outfit to finish the look.


Rocker Chic

You can never miss with the rocker look.  A leather motorcycle jacket over a simple tee in any color is an easy look for day or night.  Dark wash skinny jeans can be mixed into any outfit and should be a staple in every girl’s wardrobe. The best part about skinny jeans is that they can be worn with anything. Ankle booties give you that edgy look, and the black leather and zippers in the Zari booties tie in with the motorcycle jacket.  Because the rocker look is more minimal, accessories are a no no, but a simple pair of earrings will help frame your face.  Black-framed sun glasses are the perfect finishing touch, and, of course, will make you look totally cool.
