Looking Cute and Comfy in Class

There is always that dilemma every college girl faces when she gets ready for class in the morning, "Am I going to try today, or just be comfy?" It's a tough question that seldom has a correct answer. Everyone has those days where they just want to sit in sweatpants and a sweatshirt and not care what the world thinks, but we all also want to look cute when we go to class. I mean if you don't you know you'll run into someone you want to impress. Well, I had the idea to share some of my favorite outfits to wear to class. I chose these outfits to share because they allow me to be as comfy as if I was in sweatpants, but I'm still not embarrassed to run into the cute baseball boys who live on the floor below me.

It's important to be both comftorable and adorable in class because then you feel confident in class as well. You won't mind answering the teacher's questions or making that brilliant point you just came up with in your head since you're not afraid to have everyone look at you. After all, you look good remember?!

So I have divided the outfits into three sections:
1. Comfy Sweaters. These can be adorable with jeans, or leggings. I LOVE riding boots, so I wear mine practically everyday, but of course you can change them out for something else.

2. Flannels. Flannels are the definition of comfy, and when you throw a vest over it you add a bit of prep to it as well! (Especially when you're wearing you're signature pearl earrings).

This flannel is from the boy section of American Eagle so it's double the comfy of a normal flannel!

3. The last pieces that I love are Wrap Cardigans. They come in all kinds of patterns and again can be worn with anything! Not to mention it's kinda like wearing a blanket around you all day!

 This one is my favorite piece currently in my closet! It is so comfy but the aztec print and bright pink color really make it stand out! I bought it from Francessca's. 

This one is just like the other one except a bit more neutral, but just as comfy to wear. Again, I bought it from Francessca's. 

Obviously, these outfits are all based on my personal style and what I had available to me in my closet! They are simply to get you inspired for the next time you get ready for class!

What's you're favorite thing to wear to class? Let me know!!

Interesting Article on School Dress Code

For the first time in school, I am no longer told what to wear. I get to decide if I look professional, preppy, or like a typical college student who just rolled out of bed, and I LOVE it! So, why does this matter? Well, I saw this article linked on Facebook, and it caught my eye. I think it has some really interesting points in it that I would like to share as well. I firmly believe that every woman is BEAUTIFUL. No matter what you size you wear or what you look like, every woman deserves to feel confident and powerful because she is. Every woman has the right to decide how she wants to present herself to world because a confident woman is a POWERFUL woman, and a powerful woman is one of the most powerful forces on the earth.
So, if you have a minute, take a look here, and let me know what you think.

Stay preppy. Stay beautiful. Stay powerful.

Matte Nails

So the other day I bought OPI Matte Top Coat nail polish. I have always loved Matte everything, so I was really excited to find out I could use any of my nail polishes (I have a lot!) and make any of them Matte. So with Christmas coming up I decided to paint my nails a nice Matte Red!

The Red is OPI "Big Red Apple". I wanted a really bright red because I knew the Matte would dull the color a bit!
So after using a base coat, I put on two coats of the red nail polish.

As you can see the nails are rather shiny, which is something I usually love about OPI! Even without a top coat they always look shiny and you can't see brush marks even with only one coat. So once the nails were dry (and you want to make sure they're really dry because otherwise you get the color all over the top coat's brush and then it gets into the polish and it's really never very good!)

Ok so ignore all the imperfections.. I'm not a professional and EVERY mistake shows up when you use red... but this is what they look like with the Matte. The picture doesn't quite do it justice because there is a bit of glare but you can definitely see a difference. The thing with the Matte polish is that when you initially put it on it just looks like another top coat. It isn't until after it drys that you can see the dullness of a Matte. You do have to be careful though because you can see how thick the polish is once it dries, so make sure you have an even coat of Matte polish. 

Overall, I'm really glad I bought this polish. I paid $9.00 for each bottle of nail polish because my favorite store went and raised the price (but I always have coupons so it's never quite that much.) I like that I can use it with any other color and really any other polish, it doesn't have to be OPI, I just happened to have a lot of OPI! It dries fairly quickly and definitely faster than a traditional top coat. The final texture of my nails now is very soft but they still have that same sturdy hardness that I've come to love from OPI top coats. If you want Matte nails, I would highly recommend it!

What is you're favorite type of Matte? Lips? Nails? Tell me!
