Hey ladies...we know you've had to wait a few days on your post but here it is! Our Back to School Essentials mini-series continues and this week we're coming with item number #3.... JEANS, JEANS, JEANS!! Jeans is something that any student can't go with out because the comfort they give, variety they come in, and the effortlessness it takes to dress them up and down. With that being said...let's get into it!!
Before we start...if you're wondering why Zoe Saldana's picture is so big ...it's for 3 reasons.. 1. She's BADD! 2. Her outfit is so fly effortlessly. 3. We wanted you to see what we see. Lol. (She is a fashion fave of ours!)
Moving right along... Seen to the left, Zoe has on a green knit pocket tank tucked in a pair of mid-rise, skinny ankle jeans. For shoes she has on a pair of fly...nude studded platform sandals. For accessories she kept it simple and went with a few bracelets, sunglasses, and a tan tote bag (LOVE). Now we'll tell you how to get similar look, one for campus and one to go out somewhere in.
For your campus outfit..start with this pair of Mid Rise Dirty Denim Skinnies. For your shirt you can do something with print like this Pink/Brick Faded Colorblock Tank that also has a pocket on it like Zoe's. For shoes you can do this pair of Taupe Braided Leatherette Sandals. If you get cold you can throw a cardigan over it! To accessorize the outfit with a bangle like this Gold Floral Pressed Bracelet and then you can do a pair of studs or gold hoops. You can't forget the bag...like this Beige Pebbled Leatherette Tote Bag to put a few books in!
Now as far as dressing the jeans up for an event or party you can do simple tank like this Essential Layering Tank in the green/olive color. Then you can throw this Notched Lapel Jacket in the Wine color over the cami. Then for shoes and accessories... you can do this pair of Leopard Platform Pumps from Charlotte Russe to add some print in the outfit and then you can do this Gold/Black High Shine Bangle Set, Gold Chain Tassel Necklace, and a pair of gold studs!
Moving on to look 2...printed jeans!
In the picture to your right...Danielle Lineker is seen in a white top, leopard print jeans, and a pair of black pumps. She didn't really accessorize the outfit much but we just wanted to show you an example of someone wearing a pair of printed jeans. We'll give you some outfit suggestions to make yours way better than what is shown!
To get a casual/on campus look start with this pair of Tripp NYC Leopard Jean from Urban Outfitters. For your top you can do this Cream/Black Muddy Waters Crop Tee. For shoes you can do something similar to this pair of Red Burnished Penny Loafers and for accessories you can do a simple black bangle and a pair of stud earrings.
Now to dress the jeans up you can do Blue Chiffon Batwing Blouse from Forever 21 and you can layer a white cami or bandeau top underneath. As far as shoes go you can do a pair Black Platform Pumps and then to accessorize it you can do the same Gold/Black High Shine Bangle Set listed in the first tip with a pair of large gold hoops.
Last Jeans look...colored jeans.
Okay for the last look we decided to show you Alicia Keys wearing a pair of colored jeans. Now we know a lot of you out there own a pair but we still wanted to show another option to those who don't and give a couple of outfit ideas.
Alicia has on a pair of teal skinny jeans with a black and white graphic tee. She layered a black jacket over it and a scarf. Then for shoes she went with a pair of black studded booties. We're going to assume that it was fall time with all the layers which is a perfect thing to show at this time since it is getting a bit chilly outside.
To get a casual campus look with colored jeans you can start with this pair of Magenta Vibrant Skinny Ankle Jeans paired with Heather Grey/Yellow Distressed Batman Tank. Then you can layer this Oatmeal/Dark Grey Leopard Spots Cardigan over it and for shoes you can do this pair of Perforated Leatherette Loafers in grey or black. To accessorize the outfit just do a pair of silver studs and a simple bangle.
To dress a pair of colored jeans up start with this pair of Mustard Vibrant Skinny Jeans and this Cream Chiffon Blouse. Layer this Basic Knit Tank in orange underneath and then you can do this pair of Purple Platform Pumps. For accessories you can do a large pair of gold hoop earrings and this Black/Cream Geo Stretch Bracelet to add some type of texture/print to the outfit!
Well ladies this concludes our Back to School Essentials #3 post on jeans. All the outfits we suggested can be worn with regular skinny jeans or whatever jeans you prefer, we just wanted to show you something besides that.
