WHAT TO WEAR: Summer

June 4th, 2015 at 2:10am

You know summer is here when Fashionistas/os start to bare more skin, a little more shoulder and a lot more leg. But with the heat, even the most fashionable students can get lazy and not feel like dressing up. Keeping it causal and cool is key.

I spotted this Fashionista on her way to class. Instead of throwing on a pair of shorts and baggy tank top, like many college students would wear to a summer class, this Fashionista wore a cute orange summer dress. The cap sleeve keeps her shoulder covered in the cool classroom, but the shorter length is perfect for the New York City heat.

Running from class to class can take a toll on your feet, so this Fashionista wore white platform sandals. These stylish and comfortable shoes add a pop of white to this fun summer look. The platform adds a bit of height without causing any pain while running from the subway to class.

The simple details of this outfit add a personal touch. A leather cross-body bag holds everything needed for class and keeps this look casual. The dainty necklaces and watch are a cute touch to finish off the look.

One Simple Change: To change this look from day to night, swap out the white platform sandals for a sexy pair of heels and exchange the dainty necklaces for a chunky statement necklace. This simple orange dress could easily be worn on a night with friends.
