STYLE GURU STYLE: Spring Simplicity

March’s winter storm has finally brought us April’s sunshine. After months of treacherous wind and freezing temperatures, it is finally time to soak up some sun. Spring is probably my favorite season not only because it is leading into summer, but also I can finally show off my style without being covered up in heavy coats and scarves.

Personally, I like to keep my style relatively casual but also featuring some of my staple clothing items. During the spring, everyone breaks out their favorite sundresses and rompers, but as a college student, it can be difficult going in between the warmth of outside and the frigidness of the classrooms. This is where the signature jean jacket comes into play. Jean jackets are definitely a staple item this season because it can pull together a whole outfit and keep us college students warm when we are in class. As for my personal touch, I am a huge Birkenstock fan. I know people either love or hate these controversial sandals, but I definitely am a supporter. They come in such a wide variety of styles and colors that they can keep an outfit casual while also keeping your feet comfy.

In this look, I tie together popular spring trends and my own personal touches. By sticking to my casually simple style, I wear a pair of plain black jeans along with a white top. To give a little color, and to keep me warm during class, I rock a semi-distressed jean jacket. To finish off the look, I rock my black leather Birkenstock sandals, a Kate Spade tote, and a pair of sunglasses.

I am slowly transitioning into the more vibrant spring-like colors, but I like to stick to my roots with my black jeans because they can make any outfit. As a college student, it can be difficult to find the time to put together a fashionable look, but with a few staple items such as black jeans and simple tops, you can pull together a great outfit. You can also flare up your look with a light jacket or cardigan that are pastel to incorporate some springtime vibes.
