WHAT TO WEAR: Dress for Success

May 29th, 2017 at 2:10am

There is nothing more stressful than finals week. It’s a long week full of studying late into the night, every night, until the day of your final comes. During this time, it’s typical to find most college students wearing full blown sweatpants, hats to cover their messy and dirty hair, and have dark circles under their eyes. However, I found a Fashionista who likes to take a different approach. She called it “dressing for success,” a term used often when people dress for certain occasions with the belief their outfil will make them more successful. This Fashionista still kept her look casual, while adding a little more oomph for an extra boost of confidence for her finals.

Her platform shoes are comfy and great for walking around campus, but are on trend with the suede fabric. The denim skirt has a simple button up detailing and two pockets for some extra functionality. The button-down top is lightweight, perfect for any hot classrooms. Lastly, she added a few accessories: a silver watch to glam it up and a black purse for carrying the essentials for any final. All together, this outfit is ideal for taking a test in comfort and feeling confident at the same time.

Finals are always a pain, but dressing well can make them a little bit better. Take it from this Fashionista, who later told me she passed all of her finals. So go ahead and dress up a little when you need an extra confidence boost, it never hurts!
