Jasmine loves to be cozy when hanging out:

During the fall in New York it can be nice and warm in the day and chilly at night. You want to be able to wear something that can be converted into both types of weather so this is why I paired a light motor jacket with a crop top. Fall in New York also means the return of dark colors. Weather its black, greys or dark greens. I try to look fashionable on budget and Forever21 is a great place to do that.

Mandy loves to dress up when she’d headed out:

This is my going out outfit. I usually stick with a nice dress, and a cardigan because I’m always super cold. I love these topshop boots because they are super edgy, but comfortable and easy to walk and/or dance in.

Christina loves to look chill when hanging out:

 

It’s hot in Barbados all year round, so when I chill with friends, I usually think of comfort, unless we’re going to some swanky place. I could go from classes to the beach, house party or elsewhere in this look without any effort. Shorts are a year-round thing (although this week’s been raining buckets). I also love this magenta peplum top I got from JCPenney, that I layered a white F21 cami under it in case it got cooler later. Shoes are from Payleess Shoe Source, I love these sandals! My bag is from Call it Spring, just my everyday purse. I would also add a cardigan to this, but I had forgotten it, haha!

Lucy loves a good party: 

So here’s my going out look, I love this look because its so easy to dress up or down, if you’re off somewhere that’s not that fancy but still want to make an effort – swap the heels for flats, perfect!
Kimono, Primark: £15
Cami Top, Topshop: £18
Shorts, Levi’s  (second hand, Urban Outfitters): £20
Shoes, New Look: £25

Bag, Dorothy Perkins: £11
Necklace, Primark: £4

I’m still clutching onto the hope that it’s summer here, but this look still works in winter, just make sure to take a coat too! Specifically over here in freezing cold England!

Stay tuned on my blog for more about this look and others!

Mandy’s 1st Day Outfit

Hi! This is my first day of school outfit 🙂 I’m wearing a pleated school uniform skirt from land’s end, my top is from Johnnie B., a target headband, and keds. My school doesn’t have a dress code, but I love school uniform clothes because they’re high quality and the only place I can find plain knee length skirts, and the pleats are so perfect on this skirt.

I like to wear sneakers because my school’s campus is pretty big and I have to walk outside to get from class to class. They’re also helpful for running to meet my friends who I haven’t seen all summer :P.

The basic elements of this outfit make it easy to switch out something for a cool statement piece, like my sunflower diy flower crown. 

Jasmine’s Easy Going Outfit

When I need an easy going day outfit its all about comfort. For fall time in New York I like a long sleeve that is still light because the weather can go be warm one minute and cool the next. Also for an easy day outfit I love flats. They pretty much go with anything and are easy to get around in. I like to still be fashionable and on budget and lulus.com has great variety of stuff for that.

Christina’s 1st Day Outfit

As you might have known, I’m in my final year of university, about to start what should be my final semester *crosses fingers*, so my dress-code is more laid-back and easy. I don’t like a lot of fuss for school, but I do love to be comfy and warm in class. I paired my Old Navy White tee with these RockStar jeans also from ON. I swear this wasn’t sponsored, just a coincidence!

In Barbados, it’s hot all year round, so it’s almost always appropriate to wear shorts. But because it’s the first day, I am wearing these red ankle-length pants because you never know what temperature your lecture theatres will be. I’m also wearing AirWalk pumps, they’re so easy on your feet and perfect for long days! To accessorise my BCBG statement bracelets from Macys and my usual necklace from my grandmum.

Lucy’s Easy Going Outfit

So, here’s my chilled out university look. I think it’s perfect for a day studying, and when you don’t want to look too dressed up – but still on trend. I love these cigarette trousers, I think they really make an outfit pop, and available in a number of high street stores – so you don’t need to settle for one pair! (I know I haven’t). This light blazer is perfect for everyday, I know it’s a bit pricier at £50 but I constantly wear it, so relaxed and slouchy. It’s always good to buy a statement piece every now and then that you’re going to get a lot of wear out of.

Accessories, Accessories, Accessories! This necklace I love, there’s a lot of chain necklaces on the high street at the moment and for £4 you can’t go wrong! This particular one also has a bit of weight to it, there’s nothing worse than a light, barely there necklace. 

Blazer – Topshop £50
Cigarette Trousers – H&M £7 (sale, bargain right?)
Top – H&M (bought years ago)
Boots – Dorothy Perkins £28 (sale, 20% off original price)
Necklace – Primark £4 

Hope you enjoyed seeing our Back to school Style, be sure to come back next week for part 2!
