Style confidence

Never, ever,be scared to stand out. It always pays off. And if you epic fail, you’ll know not to do that next time. Take a risk with a color you don’t always wear,or an extreme print. Lop off your hair or grow it out. But remember not to go overboard. Rock the huge hair, the sparkly dress, or the blingy necklace.

Style inspiration:Jane Quimby

ABC family’s new show, Jane by Design, is super fun to watch. The main character, Jane Quimby, wears girly,retro outfits with a dash of boho. She’s my new style inspiration!

What Not to Bring to Taft

I’ve  given you the Taft Dos, but not the Don’ts. Here’s what not to bring to Taft.

  •  Anything you’re not supposed to, like a cell or electronics.
  • Lip gloss, eye shadow, mascara,or any other makeup except lip balm. You’ll just lose them.
  • Anything that you cannot label. You don’t want your stuff dumped in the hallway.
  • Anything you are afraid to lose.
  • Obviously, don’t be Ballerina Girl. Don’t bring anything even remotely fancy.

 

 

Label Focus: Juicy Couture

The founders of Juicy Couture are Gela Nash-Taylor and Pamela Skaist-Levy. They are the only ones who know what the name actually means, but they won’t tell anyone. By 2oo9, the label had almost 70 shops in the United States, and 32 overseas. Juicy Couture launched Dirty English, a menswear line , but it closed in five years due to them wanting to expand their womenswear line. Juicy Couture is a mega-label and that’s why I picked them for Label Focus.

Find your style!

Your accessories are the key to finding out what your style is. Have a silver studded leather cuff or belt? You are a punk rock rebel. Own a slap watch or many Converse All Stars? You are sporty chic. Glitter galore? You’re a glam diva. Girly girls tend to have floral things and gold and silver chains. Have a little bit of everything? You are a true original.

Major Spring Trend!

I love a little black dress, but I think it’s been upstaged by brights and jewel tones. Color is so in now. Wear colorful accessories with black and neutral clothing. Try to balance out all the colors with black, brown,or tan.

Sporty Chic

Yoga is one of my favorite hobbies and I like to wear cute printed tops and shaped yoga pants. Somehow cute clothes manage to give me more confidence and I can stretch farther and do more. My two favorite brands are Pink Yoga and Danskin Now Yoga.

Hot trend 3: Covered-Up Sexy

Clothes right now are not really having a sexy moment. You are totally a siren without showing a mile of leg. Take inspiration from the 1950’s and do a half-sleeve, high neck, top or dress. You can keep it shaped, but don’t go mini. Do cats-eye shades, pearls,or ladylike gloves, not all three. Below the knee hemlines and higher necks make a sensual look. So clever.

How to keep organized at Taft!

If you’re anything like me, you are going to have a hard time keeping track of your things at Taft. This is a guide on what to bring, why to bring it, and how to be sure you can find it all on day 3!

  1. I love Philosophy shower gel because it is so multipurpose! I can use it to wash my body, hair, and face. Plus, I can keep track of it more easily!
  2. Get one of those giant five dollar bags of socks. You can lose a lot of socks in three days!
  3. Get separate pack bags to put in your duffel and put one day’s clothes in each one. No more tearing apart the dormitory looking for a tee!
  4. Bring a huge Ziploc bag to put dirty clothes in so you know what laundry you have to do when you get home.
  5. Don’t bring anything you are not afraid to lose. If you wear it on a regular basis, skip it.
  6. Take showers at night because you only have 1 hour to get ready.
  7. Don’t be last in the bathroom. If you are you might be late to breakfast.
  8. This might go without saying, but don’t have complex clothes and makeup. Complicated knots and fasteners will make you late and lots of little bottles will get lost.
  9. Bring sports bras instead of regular hook-in-the-back ones to save time.
  10. Bring the sane toiletries bag that you do travelling. It should be just the right size.

These tips will help you keep track of your stuff and save time at Taft!

Stand Out On The Trails!

l just got water-resistant faux fur boots to wear at Taft! I  also have a hot pink sweatshirt with a black sequined heart. You can use a tinted lip balm instead of a regular one for a girly touch. One thing I always pay attention to is shape. I love the hoodies  from Victoria’s Secret because they keep your waist and make sure you still look like a girl. With these tips you’ll be one of the best dressed girls at Taft!
