WHAT TO WEAR: Finals

Figuring out what to wear in the middle of spring can be tricky; thick layers are not an option, but neither are the short shorts and crop tops us Fashionistas are eager to break out. Not to mention, the deadly combo of dressing for iffy weather and finals week. Combining clothing that’s both comfortable and ready for any weather is the finals week dream. Satisfying both needs means we have to be crafty and resort to a few old tricks.

The easiest way to prepare yourself for both climates is the classic jeans and cardigan combo. Light layers are a girl’s best friend for the chilly mornings and hot evenings that make up most of our spring weather. This Fashionista is ready to take on the bipolar days of spring with an outfit that’s casual enough to carry you to class while still being utilitarian enough for any unexpected chills.

She keeps it simple with every college girl’s closet staples: a cardigan, a cami, jeans, TOMS shoes—to step it up though, she coordinates her glasses with the camisole to give the look a bit more polish. To complement the bold blues in her outfit, she tops it off with her red cardigan. In keeping the look appropriate for class and maintaining the focus on those fantastic statement glasses, she keeps her accessories neutral to make her color choices pop.

Keeping it simple is the easiest way to be ready for whatever insane weather (and exam questions) the day might throw at you. This is the perfect way to rock some bold colors for spring!

One Simple Change: Celebrating surviving finals with a night out? No worries. Ditch the flats and cardigan in favor of some comfy wedges and a statement kimono. After all, just because finals are over doesn’t mean you’re ready to let to go of the comfort.
