It’s 7:00 AM and your College Algebra Class starts at 8:00 AM. The commute to class is about a thirty-minute train ride, and you are meeting friends for brunch right after so you need to look bomb! Here are a few tips to achieve a great look in a simple and quick way.
1. Accessories can make any basic look turn heads.
In my accessories collection, my go to pieces in turning any boring lookout are my vintage Doorstopper Chanel Earrings and my YSL Drop Earrings. Larger earrings frame the face well and bring attention to you as a person.

2. Be comfortable. Don’t look comfortable.
Living in New York you could run into anyone at any time. Your next boss, your ex-boyfriend, your new boyfriend, or Luka Sabbat and if you meet any of these people you don’t want to look like you’ve just left the gym. Comfort is a must due to all the walking you have to do in the city, but that can be achieved without wearing those same old yoga pants.
Elevate your shoe collection, and the rest shall follow.

Nike LA Cortez X Maria Sharapova: $100
3. Tote bags are a must-have-item.
Big bulky bookbags have to go this school season. Tote bags are hot, and add a little something to any look. They say, “I’m carrying Vogue Magazine and my Marketing Textbook!” They’re also more convenient for train rides being that they’re lighter weight and you can easily keep an eye on your bag. Furthermore, tote bags can easily transition from the classroom to a casual shopping trip at Bergdorf Goodmans.
Get with it.
