REALISTIC back to school MUST-HAVES 📕📚🎒

july is coming to an end. 😓 it’s time to figure out what we need before we go back to school!

let me share some of my favorite back to school essentials!

1. basic tees & long sleeve tees 👚

trust me, you’ll use this a million times this year! there’s sooo many outfits you can make with them! i like to get a few colors in a style i really like :)

2. mid-thigh length shorts (or knee-length, whatever your school allows!)

these are so so cute, especially the high rise ones! they’re perfect for august when it’s still hot out ☀️

3. COMFORTABLE pants 👖

i’m telling youuuu these are a game changer. i didn’t know jeans could be so comfortable until i started exploring new brands! don’t put up with stiff, uncomfortable jeans all school year. there’s comfy ones out there!! (rewash brand is AMAZINGLY comfortable)

4. sneakers 👟

a trendy, cute pair of sneakers will go a long way! there’s so many outfits they work with!

5. zip up hoodies

a layering must-have!

6. oversized hoodies

honestly i wouldn’t be able to get by without at least one comfort hoodie

7. sweatpants

burn out is expected. a good pair of sweats will get you through, love 💗

8. cotton tube socks

i love a good pair of loose cotton tube socks! they’re cute with shorts & sneakers or dr martens!

... Read moreBack to school season can be both exciting and overwhelming. As students prepare for a fresh academic year, having the right essentials can make a huge difference. When it comes to clothing, comfort is key, especially for long school days. Important staples include basic tees and long sleeve options, which provide versatility for layering with other outfits. Mid-thigh and knee-length shorts are perfect for warm August days, ensuring compliance with school dress codes while staying stylish. Comfortable pants, such as joggers or relaxed fit jeans, are game changers; no one wants to endure uncomfortable denim when busy learning. Sneakers, a top choice for footwear, should combine style with comfort, allowing for all-day wear without sacrificing flair. Layering pieces like zip-up and oversized hoodies are essential for fluctuating classroom temperatures. A good pair of sweatpants will also help students manage burnout during the school year. Finally, for a little added personality, colorful cotton tube socks can brighten up any outfit while complementing shorts or sneakers. These essentials not only make dressing for school effortless, but also empower students to express their individuality through fashion choices. Don't forget to participate in campaigns like #backtoschooloutfits to share your styles and join the community!

Realistic college workout routine
Here's what a week's workouts look like for me as a busy college student who tries to stay active! Not every week is the same, but this is the routine that I generally try to stick to. All that matters is that I'm listening to my body and giving myself time to rest and recover.
