back to school outfit ideas

When this post goes up I’ll be at school (the first day!!). Right now I’m pretty nervous but also really excited. ❤ When do you start school?

yes I know I’m one of those really weird people who likes school haha. the thing is all school year I can’t wait for summer and when summer gets here (past the first week or so) I get really bored and can’t wait for summer. it’s weird 😂

ANYWAY. Today I’m going to be sharing some back to school outfit ideas 🙂 Obviously these are if you don’t wear a uniform (I will be) but I guess you could wear them anytime.

let’s get started!

Summer Outfit Ideas

Summer is HERE! Though the break from school is awesome, the heat is horrible. Here in Florida it’s been feeling like 100 degrees since March. AGG!!

Today I decided to share some outfit ideas that are great for the summer but are still modest!

I’m not really a dress person unless it’s church or something like that, but this dress makes me want to be! It would be perfect for vacation because it’s super simple but would go with everything. I love the fact that it looks really lightweight and comfy too!

credit

It might just be me, but I’ve been seeing shirts like this one everywhere lately and I love it! I would probably add a tank top because the neckline is a little low for me, but it would be perfect with white jeans/shorts.

credit

While these aren’t only for summer, I wanted to share a staple in my closet: bermuda shorts! I like this style of shorts because of their length: it’s SO hard to find shorts that are long enough.

credit

I know I just told you guys that I’m not really a huge dress person, but I think I *might* be changing? I found so many dresses that I would actually love to wear! This one is cute or summer/fall and I love the length – I HATE those dresses that come down to the middle of your lower leg (whatever that means)! Give me a dress that comes to my knee or my feet, but not between! (sorry for the rant there)

credit

Eep I actually really love this dress 😍  I love the white background/pattern and the ruffle, but I wish it was sleeveless.

I love the shirt 🙂  This outfit is so easy but it looks great. Again, the shirt is super versatile (can you sense the trend?)!

Let’s face it, this is what I end up wearing every day. But this girl manages to actually look good in it… HOW?! It must be the Starbucks. *nods*

This outfit is so simple but it’s adorable! Personally, I think I would wear a shirt without the “ripped” neckline just because it’s not really my style (even though it’s not super low). Same goes for the ripped jeans, but I actually like that pair!

 

It was harder to find things than I thought! One thing that was hard was staying off Etsy! I’m actually going to be sharing my favorite things on Etsy soon, so look out for that! 💕

 

My favorite Fall looks// Fall aesthetics

Now that it’s finally 70 degrees in Florida (yes, that is cool for us Floridians, but I can’t wait for cooler weather!) I’m proclaiming it fall. lol When fall officially started, it was still 90 degrees, so that doesn’t count, right? Today I wanted to share some cute, modest fall outfits. I credited all my pictures with links to where I found them!

 

CREDIT

I love this look! It’s so fun and cute, I would totally wear this. Plus it’s very easy to recreate. I probably wouldn’t go with the ripped jeans, though.

CREDIT

Very adorable! I love the scarf and the boots 🙂

CREDIT

I love the layering! This look is so cute, and the cardigan is adorable.

CREDIT

I like the dress (that print is so pretty!!) and the scarf looks comfy.

CREDIT

This works for the fall that Florida gets, haha, but you could add a cardigan (turquoise would be fun, it would match that adorable statement necklace!) if you get a cooler fall.

CREDIT

 

So cute! I am not really a fan of ripped jeans, but the purse is #goals and I love how the Starbucks drink is an accessory (plus it’s an excuse to get #Starbucks so that you can have the perfect outfit picture… who can pass that up?).

CREDIT

I love this outfit! The sweater covers the back of the jeans, which is adorable and modest.

Soo… you guys know my idea of fall style now, lol. I love riding boots and little ankle boots, jeans are awesome with long cardigans, and I love blanket scarves. Such a pity that I never get to wear them 😦

Now, I’m going to share some of my favorite fall asthetics from Unsplash. Yay!

Pretty sure some of these are from the same photoshoot… #whatcanisay

Anyway, thanks for reading! This was so much fun to do 🙂

 

 

 

DIY: Clothing Inspiration Board

Hello to you! If you commented on my post a couple weeks ago asking you what I should post next, I received quite a few comments saying that they would love for me to post from the Modesty/Clothing/Fashion category, so I decided that you might want to see this. I made one of these a while ago and thought it needed a little update, so I decided to show you guys how to do it. It’s really very easy and so much fun and requires little ‘maintenance’ each week. It is also a huge help for picking out your outfit each morning, haha. So… let’s start!

Step One: Go to Pinterest, fashion blogs, Instagram, or even just google to find images that reflect your style, and taste. It’s a good rule of thumb to only select 5-10 images that you have on of the main pieces for. Once you’ve selected 5-10 images, put them in a canva/befunkey/word document and resize, crop and arrange them to make a printable document.

The supplies that I used were my printed document, scissors, magnets, and glue to attach the magnets.

A closer look at the supplies.

Next, cut out your images.

(Excuse my sloppy work with the glue stick… XD) As you can tell, I glued magnets onto the cutout images.

The next, and very important, step is to select the place where you are going to place your items. I suggest something near your closet/dresser/dressing area. I hung a  magnetic whiteboard on my closet door, and it works really well.

I then spread all my images out onto the floor and selected my favorites for the week.

If you are using something you can write on, I highly suggest writing the days of the week out onto it.

Next, I grabbed my outfits and placed them on the days of the week where I would be planning on wearing them.

I also added a small spot for all the extra outfits that I didn’t use for the week.

This is what my finished board looks like. So nice! 

Close-ups at each day of the week (excuse my awful handwriting.)

Well, thanks for reading. I hope you enjoy this and that you make one for yourself as well. I promise it’s really helpful.

Whoops//Changes coming up

Hey guys!

First of all, So sorry that I haven’t posted in OVER A MONTH! Seriously, that’s awful! There are a couple changes coming up on the blog, just wanted to let y’all know.

1. Mutka (https://designpiquestudios.com/) is redesigning my blog! She’s amazing and so easy to work with. I can’t wait to get the new design up. Not sure when we’ll be done, hopefully in the next couple weeks or so.
2. IDENTITY CRISIS!! Ahh! Okay, I exaggerated a little bit, but I’m not super sure what you guys want to see C & C (my little nickname for this blog) become. That is one of the reasons that I haven’t posted in a while; I’ve had ideas, but I haven’t been sure of what Y’all want to see.

Possible Post Examples:

And now my mind goes blank…

Books I’m reading: Do you guys want to see what I’m reading? Not sure if that would appeal to you, but it wouldn’t be too hard to post; I’ve been reading a LOT lately. 

Book Review(s): A couple of books I’ve been reading might be fun to review on here. If you want to see this, let me know!

Writing: I’m in the planning stage of my new novel that doesn’t have a title so if you want to see that journey on here, I could do that.

Modesty/Clothing/Fashion: What do you guys want to see in this category? I could post a couple ideas that I’ve used for myself and maybe you would enjoy that. Not sure, though. 🙂

Art: Warning: I am NOT an artist. This may not be the best category… LOL. I’m not SO great at art… enough said.

Organization/Minimalism/Downsizing: This has been on my mind a lot, so if you want to see this let me know.

School: Okay, okay, sounds super boring, but maybe you want to see this. IDK

 

What are some of your ideas for what C&C should become? I’d love to know, so comment below.
