Classy College Chic

Classy College Chic.

Yoga pants. Sweat Shirts. Sneakers. 

The typical female American college student dons these ever-popular clothing items after rolling out of bed and heads to class in a daze.

It does not have to be this way.

Over the next few weeks I am beginning a series of ways to dress for less and for success. The series will have a daily picture of great ways to look classy (pun entirely intended) and revolutionize your campus.

Worried you will be the only one looking sharp? Dare to be different! Ladylike elegance is never shameful.

"For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven." Ecclesiastes 3:1 

Cuddling up with hot chocolate for an in-dorm movie night warrants sweatpants. However, they say if you look good, you preform better. I don't know about you but I could use all the help I can get with college grades. 

Tune in for some great ensembles fit for Audrey Hepburn herself.  

Classy for Church

Church-Wear Trends


Do regularly attend church?


These days many churches are laid back regarding style. Jeans and a t-shirt have become perfectly acceptable church-wear. With that, mini-skirts and tank tops are common summer staples - even under the steeple!


Challenge


1. Do not let the status quo dictate your wardrobe. Being a woman is a beautiful thing! We were designed to be stunning, and rolling out of bed and slipping on jeans for church just does not do our design justice!


Instead, pull out that skirt you love to wear to the office.


Try dark-wash tailored jeans with a pair of heals. It is amazing how quickly heels can take you from casual to classy.


Curl your hair if its usually straight, or straighten it if you usually curl it. There is elegance in changing things up from time to time!


2. Leave the mini-skirts and tank tops in your closet (or the trash!). If you are going to pull off something edgy, leave it outside the church building. Ask yourself, "Do I look like a lady?" We should respect God's house, first of all, and second, respect our bodies. Church is not about stunning the crowd, but looking into the stunning face of your Savior.
