WHAT TO WEAR: Class

Convincing yourself to leave the warmth of your bed in the morning is difficult enough. Trying to figure out what to wear for a long day of classes can be even harder. It’s easy to turn to your closet and pick whatever looks the most comfortable, but this Fashionista shows us that you don’t have to sacrifice comfort for style.

With winter in full swing here in Chicago, bundling up is essential when braving the cold on the walk to class. What my eye was drawn to in this Fashionista’s look is her additions of simple accessories to make her outfit functional, both for the cold weather and class. The combination of her knit scarf, beanie and combat boots paired with wool socks keep it casual. Yet, giving just enough detail to the outfit without letting it be too simplistic.

For those days where the late nights of studying (or binge watching a new TV show) catch up to you, this Fashionista reminds us you don’t have to stress about putting together the perfect outfit for class in the morning. Accessorizing is a quick and easy way to spice up an everyday T-shirt and jeans look.

One Simple Change: Just by swapping a few pieces in this look you can take it from a day of classes to a winter’s night out with friends. Replace the combat boots with a pair of heeled booties. Throw on a leather biker jacket instead of a puffy winter jacket. Finish off the look with a bold lip, and you’re ready to take on the night.
