Whether you are on the semester or quarter system, one thing still remains the same: testing season sucks. Days are filled with drowning in cups of coffee and nights are spent locked up some library surrounded by hundreds of other students struggling in the same boat. When you’re cramming for your next midterm, the last thing on your mind may be how good your outfit looks. Gray sweats and university sweaters often suffice and while you’re working hard to maintain your grades, you may find yourself becoming lazy in regards to planning an OOTD that your less stressed out self would not approve of.
Fear not. There are plenty of outfits and styling choices that are as easy to wear as they are comfortable and appropriate for the testing atmosphere. It’s actually been argued that dressing up is directly correlated to your performance. So when’s a more perfect time to test this theory than on the days you feel a bit lazy? Take a look at these Fashionistas and discover how easy it is to replace those sweats with a more stylish item.
