How to dress up for First Day of College.

If you have survived the mad rush about scoring a seat in your desired college then pat your back and rejoice young padawan! Way to go.
Just when you think you can now sit back and relax, the thought of "Whatchu gonna wear on your first day of college?" hits you like a ton of bricks. Keep calm and read on.

Ain't about the ba-bling ba-bling... (Well those are lyrics to a Jessie J song! Don't judge!)

So gurls, time to throw away your blingy Hello Kitty phone cover, your tacky pink wallet, your blingy hairclips, your earrings Oh. My. God. I could literally go on for ever! Okay basically every single thing you were obsessed with at sixteen. Yes. Bling screams for attention and that'd make up for a bad first impression so better keep all the blingy outfits you have for weddings. 

Don't be a hoarder, invest in clothes that are stylish as well as comfortable. Avoid wearing clothes just to fit in - Everyone has a different comfort level, so stay true to yourself and wear what you look good in.

Time to ditch your huge school backpack and invest in some stylish handbags. You have a variety of options but for starters get a sling bag, a tote and a nice wallet. You can shop online too. Two of my favourite site are Bagskart.com and  koovs.com.

Just like your clothes, comfortable footwear is equally important. Pumps, stilettos, and all kinds of chunky heels can take a backseat now. I consider flats, flip-flops, shoes and wedges as the perfect kind of footwear for college. Make a trip or two to your favourite shoe store before your classes begin or better yet you can shop online. Some internet shoe stores allow you to try on your shoes in the comfort of your home. How cool is that!

As far as your hair and makeup are concerned, the just-out-of-bed look is the way to go! Hair buns look chic and sophisticated.  There are many other hairstyles you could try. The tutorial below might help. Cheggit! 

For makeup- go minimalistic. Instead of using a foundation, a primer AND a concealer, go for the all-in-one BB cream. Mascara and kohl would really help in bringing out you eyes and a nice liptint will complete your whole look.
