Back To School Makeup & Fashion

It's the end of Summer and school is back in session. Boo is what many kids and young adults are thinking but I think yay because that means a chance to debut a new look. This tutorial will show that even in school you can be fashionable without being over the top. Today's model will be Kimi.
Makeup:
The makeup I kept very simple and clean but incorporated some fun Fall trends like metallics and purple.

Fashion:
The clothing I wanted to use pieces that are very comfortable to wear but still fun. Of course I had to use Jeggings and Motorcycle jeans because one of the big Fall trends is jeans in different varieties. For the first look I paired the dark wash jeggings with a loose fitting raspberry tank top, black tube top, wide black belt, grey cardigan, low heel black booties and gold accessories. Keep the heels very low for school. You are going to be doing a lot of walking around and 5"-6" stilletos are not the smartest choice. The cardigan is great transition piece for summer to fall because it is not too heavy but still offers protection if the day gets a little chilly. As for the accessories again keep it simple. I layered to two small gold necklaces with gold hoop earrings and Kimi is wearing her own bracelet.

This look is very soft & feminine

If you like the look click on the items above and it'll direct you to the websites that have similar items to what Kimi is wearing. All of the items are very reasonably priced for any bargainista.

For the second look, I went with a little more edge. I paired the motorcycle jeans with a fitted white tank top, pinstripe vest and the same black booties and gold accessories. I loved the motorcycle jeans because they fit like a dream and provide a little edge to your wardrobe while not getting too crazy. Plus the contrast of the white with dark gives an illusion of the smaller waist and hips.

This look was Kimi's favorite for the day :)
