Cover yourself from head to toe in black.  That’s right, take the challenge.  How much of black can you rock while making a true statement?

Keep in mind to keep it conservative for class and work, and then turn it up a notch when you’re out on the weekends.  Schedule a nail appointment for black nails, to dye your hair back to black, call Sephora for a smoky eye look at the makeover bar (but only if you sign up for Beauty Insider Status) and head to a footwear specialty store and find the perfect pair for your look.

You can always find something simple at H&M, Express, or head to Forever 21 for the ideal nice dress.

Deconstructed denim can easily be found at Macy’s or Gap.  Wear it wide, rolled up high, roll them slightly up, and flare it out.  However you enjoy your patches of denim, make sure to wear complimentary solids so that particular piece stands out well.

Bohemian chic for the end of the week. Dressy bohemian is back from the festivals and the flowy springtime.  Rock the look with daring boots, lace up flats, and wear those dark colored tights.  Visit Free People and Urban Outfitters and while you’re at it and look for your shoe size too.  Dresses and rompers are categorized more for going out then sitting in class.

Shiny is in.  As long as it slightly sparkles, dazzles, gleams, glitters, or catches the light, keep it simple and you should turn some heads while people are taking notes in class.  GUESS may carry the best look.

Pinstripe suits are ideal for office, interviews, workshops, meetings, conferences, presentation days, and for work.  Play around with looks but you can find great suit sets at JCPenney.

Schoolgirl jumpers are uniform turned fashion statement.  Find your own sense of style by getting one custom made if you know a local tailor, or head to Target.
