Collegiettes, we all loathe those dreaded morning classes. Our alarm clocks buzz in our ears as we continue to hit our snooze buttons, and before we know it there’s only fifteen minutes before 8 AM. Dragging ourselves out of bed we tend to gravitate towards the comfiest and easiest option: sweats. It is time to break the cycle, ladies. Isn’t it true that we all feel a little bit more motivated to take on the day when we look polished and put together? I say yes. Here are some quick tips for pulling together a cute outfit before your 8 AM class.

Tip #1: LeggingsA good pair of leggings is a staple in every college girl’s wardrobe. Leggings lend us the comfort factor we all desire for our morning classes, while still maintaining the ability to be accessorized and dressed up.  A comfy, big knit-sweater, a scarf, and riding boots are the perfect items to pair with leggings. This is a great option to keep you warm as the winter months are approaching.

Tip #2: VestsTrade out your big sweatshirt for a cute quilted vest. Vests are a huge trend this fall! Slip on a sweater or a button down shirt underneath your vest for a polished preppy look.

Tip #3: Boyfriend JeansHave you ever been jealous that boys always get to wear baggy pants while we’re stuck in our skinny jeans? I know I have. Fall fashion is in our favor. Boyfriend jeans our not only comfortable, they are stylish. Recently, stars like Selena Gomez and Kylie Jenner have been seen rocking the baggy jean look. Pair these jeans with a basic white tee, a cardigan, and some little booties, and you’re good to go! If you need some more tips on how to style boyfriend jeans, check out our article about them!

Tip #4:  Flowing DressesWearing a dress is a perfect way to make it look like you tried harder than you actually did. Any dress that hangs loose to your figure is perfect for achieving this look. Pair with your favorite fall boots.
