Back and at it

Well...after a long & busy spring semester, I finally found some time to get back into the swing of things! 

If there's anything I learned in the last few months, it would be busy schedules. I decided to focus this post on articles of clothing you can incorporate into your busy lives that are versatile and easy to style for both casual and dressy events!

I paired this H&M sweater dress with white chucks and layers of gold dainty necklaces for a casual look--comfy and perfect for running errands and other daily activities. 

Toss your hair in a simple messy fishtail and you'll be ready to hit the road!

This dress is old, but you can find similar dresses here, here, here (on sale!), and here!

Here's a tip: never judge clothes/shoes by the size it's labeled as--depending on brands and other factors, clothes can run larger or smaller than your usual size! It's best to try things on. 

This sweater is actually an extra large, but I wanted to go for an oversized look, and be super comfy :)

 The same goes for shoes! I have no shame looking in the kids section of clothes and shoes because the items often run large! I have found some of my best things in kids' sections. Plus, kids' stuff are sooo much cheaper than adult clothing! 

I found these white chucks on sale in the kids section here. Converse usually run big, so while I'm usually a 6, I was able to fit into a kids 3. 

Last but not least, pair your casual attire with a bright colorful bag that has a dual purpose! Not only can totes add a splash of color to outfits, but they are so functional and provide room for all your daily needs

Here's my favorite Tory Burch tote, but you can find similar ones here, here, and here!

Then, when you're on a time crunch for a night out, you can simply throw a pair of heels on and add a bold necklace

Grab a matching bag, and you'll be ready to paint the town red!

I rolled my sleeves down for a more dressy look and let my hair down for some soft waves (another reason why I love fishtails!)

Here's a necklace similar to the one I'm wearing!

I love, love, love these heels, but couldn't find the exact same pair. Here are some really similar ones though!

I hope you enjoyed this post and found some tips useful! I'd love to hear what you think!

Stop by next time to see some back to school essentials!

See you then!!
