WHAT TO WEAR: Brunch

After a long week at the library or a late night out, is there any better way to recharge for the week ahead than a brunch date with friends? I always love an opportunity to get dressed up and indulge in good food with good company. This weekend, I brunched with a Fashionista at a cute European-inspired bistro near campus, The Green Gateau. We bonded over our love of truffle fries and fashion.

Inspired by her southern roots, this Fashionista channels her inner southern belle with a floral sundress. While dining between the hours of breakfast and lunch, a sundress is a no-brainer because it can be effortlessly thrown on for a fun, flirty look. Pair it with the right accessories and you will be sure to turn heads. This Fashionista found her precious halter top dress at a local store, Four Sisters Boutique. You can find similar brunch dresses at Urban Outfitters and Free People. She decided to dress up her look with a pair of Vera Wang heels and an Hermès handbag. A high quality handbag is a major closet staple item that will give you love for many years after purchase but, if you’re like most college students, luxury items aren’t the most affordable. You can find similar trendy bags at Nordstrom and kate spade.

One Simple Change: Transition this look into a sophisticated work or interview outfit by adding a blazer. Switch out the heels for flats to be more comfortable and professional.
