Heyy.
It's Olga here. This year I got an opportunity to study in an American high School and now i am a senior, which means you actually HAVE to care about how you look, since i'm an exchange student. Last weekend i did back-to-school shopping and i decided to post some pictures and give some advice how to keep your style pretty simple, but make it different from others.
Tip #1
When buying tops, make sure you buy some simple ones (I prefer V-necks, they always look good and are pretty cheap everywhere)
and buy something unique, which is different from the whole collection.
- I bought 3 lovely Old Navy V-necks (grey, white and pink)
- Buy something DRESSY, like this Forever 21 top, which looks sweeet on anyone and it has a bow on the back + lifts up your breast a bit and hides your belly , so it's perfect if you want to look a bit girlier while keeping it simple. wear it with jeans and ballerinas and you're good to go.
- buy a v-neck a few sizes bigger, so you can wear it with a tank top underneath and it look pretty good. i have Old navy one in black, i bough M size,and i normally buy S.
- buy a few t-shirts with funny prints. i got a BATMAN one at Hot Topic and wore it to school, so everyone kept coming up to me and starting the convo with "oh, your shirt is awesome". #win.
Tip #2
I know that some people dislike such stores as Hot Topic and consider them "scene". Don't be afraid to shop there, you can get some amazing accesories! For example, i got these vintage earrings at HT and i'm in love with them
Tip #3
I'm used to carrying all my things in a bag or a purse, so if you are getting a bag for school , make sure you will be able to wear it with nearly every outfit and you really like it. That's why it's great if you get a bag in black/nude/white color.
I got mine at Forever 21 as well
TIP #4
jeans. perfect idea - at least five different pairs in your wardrobe. I, myself, have only three (i knowww).
Black
Dark blue
Light blue
Gray
and Tye-dye.
(basics)
so you can mix different outfits and look great.
Have fun at school and remember , it's better to be different then same as everyone!
