BACK-TO-SCHOOL STYLE GUIDE
Every teenage girl wants to go back to school feeling confident and comfortable. I believe that these traits start with your personality and then...fashion. Luckily, if you struggle as much as I do when shopping for a new look, this article could help you.Preppy Chic
You're probably asking what "preppy chic" is and I wouldn't blame you. The word "chic" isn't often paired with preppy, but the style is commonly displayed. Another question that you would probably ask is, "how do I obtain this look?". This style is quite accessible and can be made from about every store. For example, every preppy chic girl has to own at least two-three plaid items. A buttoned, plaid top paired with a bow tie and some leggings would be perfect! A common shoe choice for this style would include fitted Converses or ballet flats with stockings. Ballet flats with stockings brings me to my final outfit choice for this style type. If you pair the ballet flats and stockings with an argyle print sweater and a solid-colored skirt, you'll match the style flawlessly. Not to mention that "nerdy" glasses are a must with this style. Don't just take my word for it, but check out other magazines, such as Teen Vogue or Seventeen for their expert advice.
Sporty
The "sporty" style is quite popular and well known. In my opinion, it's the simplest style to shop for because it's not as complicated as the others. I've noticed that color goes a long way in this style category. I go to school with many sporty people and had noticed that there was never a day that went by, where they didn't have a splash of color on one of their shirts or shorts. Color is one of my favorite aspects about this style type. With that being said, color can be dangerous(not serious danger, just fashion danger). Pairing a solid-colored top with a solid-colored hoodie and a pair shorts would fit the bill for this style. The perfect pair of shoes to go with this style are color coordinating tennis shoes with knee or mid-leg socks. Just remember: Don't overuse bright colors. It's okay to pair black socks with a pink top and black gym shorts.
Bohemian Babe
This style is perfect for people that like the sixties and for everyone that wants to pay tribute to the organic colors and prints of this style type. The clothes in this style are comfy and radiant. I'm actually subscribed to this amazing, up and coming artist named Naelee Rae and she's loves the sixties. In her Summer Everyday/Festival video, she wears a beautiful floral dress. A floral dress is a MUST have when it comes to this style type, but floral dresses are just the beginning. Accessories are so much fun and matter when it comes to this style type as well. From fringe to feathers, you can never complete an outfit without them. One outfit example includes a short sleeve cream top with crochet details on the sleeves, a brown pleated skirt, a brown fringe vest with matching loafers or ballet flats. Oh and you can't forget your accessories! I would wear baby pink or cream feather earrings and a long gold fringe necklace. Going back to school with this style is a breeze because it's comfy and so much fun!
Urban
This style is the most expressive by far because there are no boundaries when it comes to it. This style is so creative! An outfit that you could put together may include a tiger muscle tee with denim shorts and original style Converse shoes. Did I mention that accessories also go a long way in this style too? Well, they do. From hoops to bangles and chunky necklaces, the sky's the limit for urban accessories! This style can include graphic tees, muscle tees, tank tops, crop tops and denim pieces of clothing(shorts, jeans and jean jackets).
Girly Girl
I love seeing this style on people because it's super fun and cute! The best thing to pair with this style is bows! If you're a Motavator(Bethany Mota fan), then you know that bows are the best accessory to have. Whether they're in your hair, on your neck or your wrist, bows are a MUST have with this style type. An outfit like this can include a skater skirt, a short sleeve shirt, blazer and ankle boots with a bow of your choice.
Experimenting with fashion is fun and exciting! If you're anything like me, then you find fashion to be an extension of your identity. Do as my blog says, but instead RUN FREE WITH FASHION!
P.S I would love to see in the comments if you took any of my advice when shopping, what interests you and if you want me to create any other back to school articles.
