Must Haves for the Gym

Now that the weather is becoming warmer and new sports are starting for the spring season, you are going to have to think about what to bring to the gym or practice. The first thing I would recommend is a a few athletic sets, like shorts and a top that you can always keep for working out. You can find some cute ones at Forever 21 or Lululemon, depending on your budget. Next I would recommend a bag or backpack, try to get a neutral color so that it would match most of your outfits. You can find these from a wide range of places like Dicks Sporting Goods or even VS Pink has some cute duffel bags you could use for the gym. I would also make sure to bring headphones to listen to music while you work out, this helps a lot!

How to Find your Style

Finding your own style can be difficult, even more so when there are a bunch of trends. It gets really easy to get caught up in these trends and not know your own style. My first tip is to find inspiration from your style icons, the best place for this is on Instagram since there a lot of fashion or beauty gurus who post their outfits often. Save a few outfits for reference when you want to get clothes. My next tip would be to decide whether or not that style of clothing is appropriate for your age and day to day activities. If so, go out and try to find some basic and inexpensive alternatives which are similar to the style you are looking into. Next clean out your closet, if you end up really liking this style, clean out your closet so you can get a visual what you need to maintain your style. These are all the tips I have for for finding your style!Image result for fashion closet

Styling dresses

Dresses are a classic piece that you can wear to many events during all seasons. They are typically worn more in the warmer times, and for more dressed up events but that does not always apply. If you are dress shopping and want some for the winter, try to find dresses that are long sleeved, also try to stay away from very floral prints since they can look like a summer outfit. Wearing dresses expose your legs, so try to get some nude colored tights to keep them warm. It is also very helpful to wear over the knee boots as well, these will keep you warm during the chilly weather. Something else that will help is a trench coat, these are so fashionable and add a lot to a simple dress. These tips will ensure that you will stay warm and look fashionable at the same time!

Spirit Week Clothing Ideas

Starting on December 10th it will be the winter spirit week at Dominion High School. On Monday it is pajama day, so you could just roll out of bed and dress in pj’s! For Tuesday it is timber day, I would recommend wearing a plaid button up with jeans and some boots. Wednesday is Holiday dress up day, try to dress up in an ugly christmas sweater with some festive fuzzy socks. Thursday is a meme day. There are many different memes you could show up as Damian from mean girls with sunglasses and a hoodie or dress up like the arthur meme by wearing a yellow shirt and blue jeans. On game day which is friday make sure to come wearing all white to support the titans!

Fashion tips and tricks part two

Fashion can be very time consuming and complicated sometimes. There are a few tips and tricks to make your outfits better and make your life a little easier. The first trick is to stretch tight shoes, take two freezer bags and put them into the shoes and freeze overnight this will expand your shoes gently. If you have shoes that are too small, put them on with socks and blowdry your feet. If you ever break a powder makeup product grind the product completely and put it back in it’s orginal container and use rubbing alcohol to smooth it over and let it dry overnight, it’ll work the same way it used to!
