First Day of School

There is one part of going back to school that I love, and that is putting together those first days of school's outfits! For my first day of school, I wore my new H&M DIVIDED geometric romper with my (also new and from H&M) bright pink blazer. Here is my customary shot showing my outfit, accessories, and nails of the day! Accessories: Alex & Ani bangle, Juicy Couture  chain bracelet, random ring, bangle from Macys, and sandals from Nordstorm Rack.





The nail color I am wearing is "Sugared Mint" by Nordstrom B.P. I put a tiny star jewel on my ring finger from a  Forever 21 nail jewel kit my friend got me for my birthday last year.

Yes... I am really that tan from the summer (that's what swim will do to ya!).

I absolutely love the back of this romper. Yes to anyone wondering, I am wearing a bra.... with the Victoria's Secret low-back bra attachment (it makes any low back top wearable so you don't have that awful bra adjustment showing!). I got mine with a multi-wear bra I got there, but  here is one linked from Target that I found for only $5.99!

With every outfit post, I want to share thoughts about how I choose what to wear and put the pieces together. With this combo, because the pattern on the romper was pretty busy, I chose to wear my solid pink blazer over it. On my blazer are silver zippers, so I pulled all silver accessories for this look, including the black patent leather sandals I wore (which had silver jewel embellishments). If I had not worn it with the blazer, I would have worn one of my solid bright colored statement necklaces. With patterns, I like to offset it with a bold color of statement piece to balance the outfit. Hopefully you will find my tips helpful!

 Although I dread going back to the monotony and stress of school, it really is fun to put together outfits for the days to come. To all those who are also going back to school, or work, or just saying a mournful goodbye to summer (as we all are!), I say to you, good luck in the year to come!
