Comfy. Casual. Chic. It's Almost Finals Week!

Finals. Because we may explode with the joy that the school year is almost over if we don't have some dread to suffer through.
When you roll out of bed in the morning the week of finals, the last thing on your mind is what you're wearing. So I like to keep it simple, comfortable, but still super cute! This is your guide to EASY, comfortable, and fuss-free outfits for finals, all comprised of stuff you probably already own.

A few tips for finals week...

First of all, always put your hair up! There's nothing more annoying than your hair falling into your face during a test.
Secondly, always bring a jacket or sweater, especially if it's hot outside, that means the AC is going to be freezing inside!
And third, don't stress! You can do this.

Athletic Look

Athletic clothing is super comfy and can be super cute! Pair bright athletic shorts or sweats with a bright tank or tee for an easy sporty look.




Cozy Look

Leggings and a t-shirt is another great, simple, and easy outfit, especially if it's still little chilly out.




Good Luck!
