For those of you who don’t go to public schools, like myself, and are therefore confined to a boring, boxy uniform, it’s time to spice it up! Most of the magazines I get in the mail monthly have outfit ideas for students who attend public schools, what about us private school kids??? I’ve decided to give y’all a guide on how to keep your uniform interesting without violating the dress code!
1. Eye-Catching Color. Start off by painting your nails a bright and lively color that add a pop to your dull but required uniforms
2. Accessorize. I’ve made it part of my daily routine to lay out my school uniform the night before (don’t make fun of me for it!) or else I’ll be up in my room for hours trying to match accessories! I made the rule that I can’t go to school without at least ONE piece of statement jewelry on. EIther a bracelet or a necklace or earrings, whatever! I just have to have something on to keep my uniform somewhat trendy! Plus, it’s a great conversation starter ;P
3. Don’t Forget Your Feet. On P.E. days I understand a tennis shoe is required, but that doesn’t mean that you can get away with it everyday! Splurge on a cute pair of Coach ballet flats! Don’t worry, its OK! They last for a long time and are pretty durable for running around campus! Still want a tennis shoe? Michael Kors has some great options out now that are to die for! They function the same way as a normal sport shoe, but add a little bit of girliness. Sperry’s are another idea! I prefer the classic tan ones myself to look a little bit more sophisticated (I am a sophomore here!).
4. Do it Up. Keep your hair interesting! Sure a slicked back pony tail is always cute, so mess around with it! Add a charmed hair tie or wrap a piece of it around the hair band. I usually wear my hair down nowadays, but when I do clip back the middle, I hold my hair back with a sparkly clip or two for a bit of sparkle. Headbands are also a good idea, just don’t go overboard. Nordstrom has gorgeous fabric headbands right now that are trendy, but not overkill.
5. Belt It. Even if you’re in a skirt, a few multicolored thin belts are adorable when they are wrapped around your waist or hip. For someone who wears pants everyday (like me), Abercrombie & Fitch have awesome twisted belts that cinch your hip in just the right places. I personally prefer the ones that are a little thicker and adorned with larger buckles.
