Get Packing: 10 Pieces, 20 Looks

Vacation season is upon us - time to get packing! 

Guess Who's Back...

...back again (there was an Eminem reference there somewhere).

Long time no see.

The past few months have been a whirlwind for me and I've done a lot of growing up. I was taught many valuable lessons but mostly that life is incredible and that we have to make the most of what we've got. Any of my friends or family members could tell you that I'm am 110% a perfectionist. I'm prone to overthinking and have a tendency to be a pessimist.

Since the last time we spoke, I have changed my outlook on life a bit and have come to the conclusion that I don't want to spend what could be my last day overthinking and not having a great time. I want to do what I love, be with who I love, and live in the moment, not in the past.

I'm a SENIOR now. It's crazy, even for me. My last few months of Junior year were filled with AP tests, finals, and planning. As any teen who survived their third year of high school would tell you, Junior year was tough but after a stressful year is seems like things have finally fallen into place. But, something has been missing, and that thing has been Freshmen Fashion, so I decided to overhaul my blog and get back at it.

I've grown up. Freshmen Fashion has grown up. I'm ready to document the next chapter of my life. 

Here's what I've been up to most recently.

Packing Light for Spring Break

Spring Break is starting for a lot of people tomorrow. If you're lucky enough to be going away for a few days or more you're probably in need of some packing inspiration right about now. Packing light will always be your best option. If you're flying, packing light could save you some money and if you're driving you'll want to make the most out of your car's space.

The best way to accomplish this is by choosing items to take with you that can be worn in multiple ways.

Here are seven looks for you to wear on your Spring Break getaway.

First off, it's all about mixing and matching. As you can see I used a dress as a top and a romper as shorts. Figure out what pieces will be serving more than purpose before taking off for your vacation.

Next, pick both basic items and visually interesting items. The basic white tank, teal shorts, and denim cutoffs are great additions to your vacation wardrobe. They are all easily paired with other pieces and go with both patterns and solids. The printed dress, floral romper, and the Ramones halter are what will provide the outfits with style.

For the outfits without the dress or romper, accessories add character. I chose two large statement necklaces and a big floppy hat. Paired with basics these accessories really standout and make the outfits.

Finally, pick no more than three pairs of shoes. No one is going to care if you wear the same pair of sandals three days straight. A pair of brown sandals, black sandals, and suede booties should suffice. Make sure that the shoes you pick have a fun detail so they'll add some personality to your looks. I love these strappy sandals and cut-out booties.

The moral to the story here is that packing can be a cinch if you pick out multi-functional pieces. Only add the essentials to your suitcase and you'll be good to go!

Have a fun and safe Spring Break!
