Essentials for Cute College Outfits

Hey guys! We’re finally in November, which means the colder weather is right upon us! That being said, I’d like to properly mourn the loss of hot days, rainstorms, and autumn sweater weather, by showing off my favorite outfits over the past few months, and telling you guys what I think are some essential pieces to spice up any fit!

Colorful Long-Sleeved Shirts

I LOVE fashionable long-sleeved shirts. They’re good with any pair of pants/skirts and easy to accessorize with necklaces, hairpieces, rings, and bracelets. They’re also great for a night out when the weather drops and you still want to go downtown while maintaining a cute fit!

Raincoats

I can assure you, there will be days where you need to walk a mile to a class in a downpour, and sometimes, an umbrella just won’t cut it. So, buy a raincoat! Preferably, a yellow one. Because, and maybe I’m just saying this because Halloween just passed by, yellow raincoats make for a fantastic last-minute costume (Georgie, Coraline, Paddington Bear, etc.) It also helps when you have matching boots 🙂

Bucket Hats

Maybe it’s just me, but I’ve been OBSESSED with buckets hats ever since they were revamped over quarantine. When you’re having a bad hair day or need a quick accessory to spice up your outfit, bucket hats are the way to go.

P.S: Ignore my very similar poses here. I’m coming to the realization I really am not that original with how I pose for pictures on a day-to-day basis!

Sunglasses and Jeans

These two clothing items are, quite literally, the hill I would die on. Doesn’t matter the shirt, as long as I’m rocking one of my five pairs of jeans and one of my big sunglasses on a sunny day, there’s nothing holding me back (and I think it shows in these photos!)

Sweater Dresses

You can never go wrong with sweater dresses, especially when the temperature is dropping and you still want to look cute for that meeting later in the afternoon. They work with sneakers, boots, or heels, and really are great for early mornings or late nights. It all depends on how you style it!

I hope you guys agree with some of my selections here and are looking forward to some winter fits this November. But for now, happy shopping and let that inner fashionista out this season!
