Back to School!

Hey, sorry I haven't posted, but school started :(


Some of you might have it starting next week but I start this week. And so now... I need to help you with your back-to-school outfit! Since this is a very special week (new school year!!!) I will include TWO sets of outfits, accesories, and hair-styles of the week. This following one is your ultimate first-day-back outfit.





Outfit of the Week: Show everyone that just because school started doesn't mean summer ended... with a summery outfit! Dark wash denim shorts go amazing with a blue or pink tank top from abercrombie. Wear this with flip flops and our amazing accesory of the week. Shorts: Dark Wash Denim Short Aeropostale http://www.aeropostale.com/product/index.jsp?productId=3526062 Shirt: carmen Abercrombie http://www.abercrombiekids.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?storeId=10101&catalogId=10851&productId=549290&langId=-1&categoryId=12155&parentCategoryId=12103&colorSequence=02 Flip Flops: Women's New Flip Flops Old Navy (pick a blue or pink color, depending on the color of your shirt) http://oldnavy.gap.com/browse/product.do?cid=50041&vid=1&pid=522173&scid=522173222



Accessory of the Week: Beach tote!!! (Okay, I know it was the accesory of the week last week but this week has two of everything remember? So that makes up for it.) On the first day of school, carry your supplies in a beach tote. It shows that you aren't ready for your summer trends to end. you can bring a backpack the second day though. You can buy great beach totes at Aeropostale or Hollister

Hairstyle of the Week: Just plain down! On the first day of school, do your hair just natural so people will see it for how it really is before you straighten/curl it.

Trends: Only for the first day, SUMMER EVERYTHING! See my post from last week


Okay, here is your second set of outfits/haristyles/accesories. Now we will be focusing on the school-girl-chic look. This includes: Plaid skirts, plain bermudas, cardigans.... for a better list see Essentials for my Wardrobe.

Outfit of the Week: A plaid skirt goes great with a solid henley. Add matching black flats. Skirt: Manhatten Beach Hollister http://www.hollisterco.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?storeId=10251&catalogId=10201&productId=543430&langId=-1&categoryId=12595&parentCategoryId=12552&colorSequence=02 Henley: Solid Henley Aeropostale http://www.aeropostale.com/product/index.jsp?productId=3762067
You can get the shoes at any old shoe store

Accesory of the Week: A silver necklace goes great with basically anything and will make your outfit seem more "pretty" You can get these at a lot of accesory stores, including Claire's

Hairstyle of the Week: Half-pony tail. This is a pretty style that looks great with the school-girl-chic look we are going for. Here's how to do it: Gather half of your hair on the top of your head and tie into a ponytail.

Essentials for my Wardrobe: Cardigans, Plaid skirts, Henleys, Solid Bermuda Shorts, Knee socks, Flats

Okay, I have lots of trends I have been spotting that I will post as soon as possible. Until then, hope you look fab on your first day!

Welcome to my new blog: Trends to Try! Here you will find lots of trends in fashion, hair, make-up, and more! I will post weekly. Here is what will be in my posts: the Outfit of the Week, the Hairstyle of the Week, the Accesory of the Week, and more great trends. I'll start right now.

Outfit of the Week: A pink tank top goes great with a denim mini, paired with matching pink flip-flops. The top and the flip-flops make it a summery outfit. Tank top: Diamond Dot Lace Cami Aeropostale Color: Pinky http://www.aeropostale.com/product/index.jsp?productId=3514737&cid=1010617 Denim mini: Dark Wash Mini Skirt Aeropostale http://www.aeropostale.com/family/index.jsp?categoryId=2365584&cp=3534618.3534619.3534623.3541050&s=D-MerchantRank-AERO

Note: Only ever buy shoes from Old Navy. Don't get your clothes there.

Hairstyle of the Week: A Ponytail Bun w/ Sunglasses
How To: Make a ponytail bun but leave a few strands of hair loose and out of the bun. (If you have sidebangs let them fall loose.) If you want, you can spritz it with some hairspray, but this is not a must. Then, you place your sunglasses on top of your head but behind the loose strands of hair. This style is great for a day at the beach or the pool.
Note: Wet Seal has some very cute sunglasses currently on sale

Accesory of the Week: Beach Tote
This fun accesory makes it look like you are headed for a swim. Get it in fun, summery colors like pink, green, yellow, or light blue.
Note: Aeropostale has some cute beach totes

Trend: SUMMER! You only have a few weeks left of summer vacation, so don't miss this chance to get the ultimate summer style!
