It's Scarf Time - How to Tie a Scarf (And a Great Find from the Limited!)


We LOVE scarfs!!!  We found this great zebra print scarf at the Limited ($26.50!).  Scarfs are a great investment, can be worn casually, to work (or intern), and out on the town!

Not sure how to tie or wear a scarf?  The Limited has a simple 'tutorial' on the subject!  Visit this link.

Wear scarfs with:
  • Jackets (Spring/Winter)
  • Coats (winter)
  • Alone with tank tops (Summer)
  • Dresses (dressy/classic)

1 Dress - 3 Seasons to Wear It! (Great find from Forever 21!)


We love this Empire Waist Dress from Forever 21!  Why?  It transitions from Fall to Winter to Spring!  A flattering cut - the empire waist and V-Neck draw the eyes upward, and the finished hem gives the dress structure!

Here are our different ways to wear this great find!

Finish up Winter by:

  •   To class:  Wear with heavy tights, riding boots, a thick scarf, and hoop earrings.  Top with a 'shorter' style jacket or military jacket.
  • Going out:  Wear with black tights and metallic shoes!  (Great statement!)

Ring in Spring by:
  •   Class:  Top with a jean jacket, lighter material tights, flats.
  •   A warmer spring day:  Top with a light scarf and sandals.
  •   Boho:  Wear with long, layered necklaces and T-strap sandals.
  •   Jet Set:  Pick a colorful scarf and use as a headband, Jackie-O sunglasses, and bangles.

We Found It! A Great Dress from Francesca's Collections!!!


We love chic boutiques here at College Lifestyles (TM)!!!! Franchesca's Collections is one of our favorites!

We found this great, figure flattering dress ($34.00)!!!

The wide waist band creates an illusion of an hour glass figure, with the tie back preventing 'too snug' of a look! The v-neck is flattering for all shapes!

How to wear:

1. Casual - wear to class with flats, tights, and hoop earrings.
2. Badge Attire - wear to chapter meetings with tights, pumps, and studs. Top with a peacoat on a colder day.
3. Boho - wear with tights and flat riding boots. Top with several long layers of necklaces.
4. Boho #2 - wear over jeans and flats. Top with a scarf.
