Simple Back To School Outfit Ideas

The back to school season is in full swing! Maybe you've already experienced your "first day" or maybe it's still a week or two away. You have enough on your mind with preparing for classes, catching up with friends, and deciding on extracurricular activities. Don't let what you're wearing be something you stress over! Keep it simple. Try opting for a dress or romper. Finish the look with a pair of strappy sandals and you're ready to go!

One of our favorite back to school looks is a peasant top with a youthful pattern like the one seen below. Simply add your favorite pair of  jeans and you are all set!

We encourage you to get creative by mixing and matching items from your existing wardrobe. You may be surprised by how many cute outfits you already own! Dresses, skirts, and pants can take on a whole new look when paired with a denim vest and accessories.

We hope some of these simple outfit ideas will make getting dressed for school easier.

Make this year your best-dressed yet!

The "It" Necklaces For Summer

Statement necklaces are constantly being reinvented each season. We've seen them covered in bling, decked out in an array of metals, and occasionally spikes. This summer's "it" necklaces are taking a walk on the colorful side. They are all about the tassels and pom poms.

These necklaces are festive, bright, and perfect for adding a bit of texture to an outfit. With a hint of boho flare, they add a touch of whimsy to your every day outfits.

Pom poms and tassels are definitely having a moment. You can find them on just about everything this season. Pillows, throws, bedding, purses, and shirts are just a few items we've seen trimmed in these popular adornments.

These necklaces range from simple to highly embellished. So whether you are a minimalist or someone who loves to layer, you are bound to find a style that fits your preference.

The Accessory Every Girl Needs This Spring

The one item you need to invest in this spring is (drumroll)....a hat! It is the accessory that adds a definite "wow factor" to an outfit. You can wear hats with shorts, pants, or our personal favorite-- dresses. Besides our trusty mascara, hats are a girls best friend! We can always count on them to make us look chic no matter how bad our hair day is. Priscila's look is simple, yet sophisticated with a sundress, button- up shirt, and sandals. The icing on the cake is the hat, which pulls the outfit together making it look like a glamorous afternoon on the town.

Luckily, you don't have to look too far for the perfect hat these days. Since, they are extremely popular this season,  you can find budget-friendly hats of all styles at Target, H & M, and Forever 21.

If you've never worn a hat before, this is the time to branch out. Stop by your local Target and  try on a few different styles. From floppy hats to fedoras, there are a ton of options. Not all shapes and sizes will work, but the more you try on, the easier it will be to find one that fits your style.

Will you be wearing a hat this season? If so, what's your favorite style? Let us know in the comments below.
