I’m just now realizing that Freshmen Fashion is now over 1 year old. It is crazy to think that a year has passed. I have learned so much since starting this blog and it has introduced me to some awesome things and people. The fashion blogging community is very supportive of all of it’s members and I am happy to be one of those members.

It’s amazing how much can happen in a single year. I can’t believe that I will never be a high school freshman ever again. It's insane! Freshmen Fashion has been a place for me to talk about all of the things that I love and to share them with people who love them just as much as I do. I started this blog last summer to document my Freshmen year in fashion and to intermix my two greatest loves fashion and writing. I set out to showcase attainable fashion that was chic and affordable. I truly hope that my readers find inspiration from Freshmen Fashion. 

I want  to say thank you to everyone who has visited Freshmen Fashion, read a post, left a comment, and followed. I love reading your feedback. It makes me feel great to think that people appreciate the things that I write about. 

Personally, I believe that I have grown as a writer since my very first post written all the way back on June 12, 2012. I can only hope to better my writing and fashion knowledge in the future through this blog.

Thank you to everyone that has supported me over this past year. I greatly appreciate it. 

I hope that Freshmen Fashion will introduce to me to even more amazing blogs, people, and opportunities over the next year.

Thank you so much,

BL

Spring Getaway

Sometimes packing can be such a chore. Especially when you have a tendency to over-pack like me. I decided to challenge myself with creating ten different looks that would be perfect for a fun spring getaway.

1.  Lacquered Link Necklace, Forever21. 2. Spiked Faux Leather Collar, Forever21. 3. Scalloped Cutout Belt, Forever21. 4. Tucker Flat, Steve Madden. 5. Beaded Feather Charm Necklace, Forever21. 6. Denim Shirt, H&M. 7. Polka Dot Tie-Front Sleeveless Woven Shirt, Aeropostale. 8. Crisscross Crop Top, Forever21. 9. Nautical Button Sailor Shorts, Forever21. 10.  High-Waisted Lace Shorts, Forever21. 11. Pleather T-Strap Cork Wedge Sandal, Charlotte Russe. 12. Dress, H&M.

For my "spring getaway" looks I decided to use pieces that had character but were still versatile. These pieces might not normally be characterized as basics but I thought that they had lots of potential when it came to making outfits. Here are the looks that I made:

The looks I created would be perfect for a range of events. Some are dressy whereas others are really laid-back and casual.  I  loved was how affordable all of the pieces I used are. This shows that you can wear one piece of clothing multiple ways and get the most out of your money.

I hope this gave you some ideas on what to pack the next time you go away. Some times less really is more!

BL

Polyvore & Instagram

Hey guys! Sorry I haven't posted anything in a few days. Here is a set I made using Polyvore. I really love this edgy meets classic look. I am obsessed with those shoes! Love the blazer too. Then again, I haven't seen a blazer that I didn't like. I would GREATLY appreciate it if you would follow my blog. Also check me out on polyvore.com (my username is beverlylorraine) & Instagram (my username is also beverlylorraine).
