College Fashion- Time for combat.

Happy Wednesday everyone!!

The week is HALFWAY OVER WOOOOOO!!!

As I was walking around on campus today, I was on a hunt to find the latest trend. First I looked at what my roommate was wearing, which was super cute. Then I looked at everyone else! What I came up with wasn’t actually surprising, since it’s been a trend for about 2 or 3 years in the US, but I feel like it’s just now getting popular! drumroll please….COMBAT BOOTS!! So I’m sure you’ll agree with me when saying this trend isn’t new, but it’s just now becoming a trend that EVERYONE feels comfortable wearing. Also, I’m going to start a new section every week called College Fashion-where I note something I’ve seen on campus recently, or just a trend that everyone’s rocking! And what better way to start off this section than with combat boots?

The thing I love about combat boots is that you can LITERALLY wear them with almost absolutely ANY outfit!! Dresses&skirts, shorts&pants are all great pairings for these lovely things. Some of my favorite ways to style these boots are:

Winter:

Tights/Leggings under Cut-off jean shorts, a big bulky sweater with an infinity scarf, hair in a topknot(see my tutorial video If you aren’t sure about how to create this!!), and a messenger bag.

Skinny jeans(I basically live in skinny jeans-if you ever see a post with reg jeans, chances are my blog has been hacked!), A big sweater or a henley with a super cool poncho over it, a scarf and a cool sweater.

Summer:

Cut-off shorts, a loose t-shirt(vintage band tees are always fun and unique!), tons of vintage(or just vintage-looking, for vintage can get pricey!) jewelry, messy hair

A circle skirt, a tight tank or shirt with the back cut out, and cool accessories.

Also-combat boots are always fun with some leather, lace, or leather and lace!! Or mix it up with something unexpected-like a really pretty pale pink flowy dress with some dark brown combat boots-the combo is totally sassy and unique. You’ll definitely get some envious stares.

So basically you can wear whatever you want, however you want to with combat boots. They’re literally a gift from heaven. Below, I’ve posted some of my favorite looks and favorite boots!
