Dress Well, Test Well

HELLO WORLD! 

It's that time of the year again. AP exams, finals, and the end of the year are upon us. My exam period starts today, but I don't have any tests until this Saturday (woohoo for extra study time)! In the meanwhile, I'm studying a ton and drafting up some blog posts so that I can try and post consistently though the next two weeks. 

To start off this finals period, let's talk about how to dress in order to ace your exam. It's hard sometimes to figure out what to wear. Your head is telling you "what if that cute boy sits next to me during the exam? I need to look good!" but your heart is saying "you know you want to stay in your pajamas and head right back to bed when this is over." What do you do?! 

I've put together a few looks, ranging from "most dressy" to least, and hopefully they give you the comfy-chic inspiration you need to put yourself together during hell week.

Testing 1

This first look is by far the most causal, but I'm a total fan! When I want to go for a super comfy look that's a little sporty, I'll throw on a pair of jeans and a school t-shirt. The longer sleeves will keep you warm if the testing room gets cold, or you could swap it out for a short sleeved version. Cuff up your jeans, put on some boat shoes, throw your hair into a ponytail and hide it with a hat! You'll look cute and spirited, and be 100% comfy at the same time. If you want, switch the jeans out for leggings (but fun fact: I don't own a pair of leggings. I love my American Eagle jeans, though). 

Testing 2

The second look is a bit more put together but still very comfy. Who can say no to a simple t-shirt and flowy shorts? They are the perfect pairing! I love shorts like these, and think that they make an outfit seem so much more special even when you are comfy-as-can-be! The flat sandals are great for walking around campus from exam to exam, and won't make your feet hurt at all. Plus the bling is adorbs, and the simple jewelry keeps things polished without being fussy. A watch is a finals week must - it's always good to keep an eye on the time during your exams!

Testing 3

This last look is by far the most dressy, but it's still very comfortable! I love the color combination of orange and blue, and these jogger pants are just the way to pull it off! It's like wearing socially acceptable pajamas to class. Once again the flats will keep your feet from hurting throughout the day. These ones are from Target and are dupes for the coveted Chanel espadrilles. Some bold studs, a long pendant necklace and a fun bracelet amp up your look without being too much, and the orange top is such a quick piece to throw on in the morning! Just make sure to bring a cardigan in case the testing room gets chilly.
