Mondays are the worst. There’s nothing more disheartening that having a joyous weekend filled with typical college shenanigans be abruptly ended by the electronic alarm on your iPhone at 8 a.m. on a Monday. Someone once told me the best day of the week to dress up is Monday because no one puts any effort into their appearance and you’ll come off looking like royalty. Or just really obnoxious. I told them they clearly haven’t entered The Fashion School at Kent State University where we Fashionistas are Jedis at achieving the “I just rolled out of bed but I still look better than you” look.
This Fashionista achieved this look effortlessly, of course. The key to being comfy chic is to pair cozy neutrals with a statement shoe. This Fashionista dons a snug cardigan and pairs it with a black-on-black combination of a T-shirt and leggings. She wraps herself in a black blanket scarf and accessorizes the ensemble with a brown checkered tote. The pinnacle of this look are her silver oxfords. Metallic shoes are a key trend this autumn and are the perfect touch to any lazy day outfit. Don’t forget to pop into Starbucks to caffeinate before a day of exams and lectures. A Frappucino a day keeps the failure away.
Dreary Mondays might be filled with crushing responsibility and hazy memories of the weekend, but a simple shiny shoe can brighten up your day. Add some bold lipstick and a top knot to make your ensemble all the more chic.
