{ What I Wore: denim vest c/o Chicnova // Old Navy vintage tee // Nisolo tote // ModCloth mint jeans // Madewell leopard skimmers } |
When I debuted one of my "work outfits" last week, you said you would be interested in seeing more. Well, your wish is my command. As a graduate student, jeans & a T-shirt is the standard wardrobe. But I think that with a few special touches, grubby jeans & a tee can be transformed into something actually cute. Maybe this will become a regular "grad school chic" series!
Instead of a baggy tee, substitute a fitted, soft-as-butter vintage tee.
Swap out boring jeans, for a fun colored variety.
Add some personality with patterned flats.
Layer a basic tee with an easy to move in vest to add interesting details (perfect for under the lab coat too).
What tweaks do you make to your everyday basics?
P.S. enter to win a J.Crew gift card from me over on Jessica Who?
I saw a tote just like your's in Madewell the other week. I love how you have made your outfit look casual yet chic!

Hi Jess, happy Monday! I love the idea of a grad school chic series! Let's face it, many of us bloggers are forced (ha) to wear practical outfits, whether for school, work, or day-to-day life! Going over this outfit, I think I have nearly every piece...and may be copying this very soon. I recently inherited a denim vest and although I adore it, have been struggling to wear it, problem solved, thank you!

Love love! I never understood why the college default is running shorts and a tee. I mean this looks just as comfy and 40655X as stylish!!!
ReplyDeleteyou should start a series! or link up or something for all of us "grad" students :)
ReplyDeleteThis isn't a boring 'uniform' at all! From the way you talked about your dress-code I was imagining much worse haha! Definitely very chic :)
ReplyDeletelife-etcblog.blogspot.com.au
you are seriously convincing me i need a denim vest!
ReplyDeleteI know you were eying these skimmers for a while, but I definitely agree that they were worth it! You look adorable (as always) and I can't wait to see some other casual grad school outfits to use as inspiration this fall!
ReplyDeletepretty, love your pants xx
ReplyDeleteWoohoo for a grad school chic series! My program actually required business casual which I was so annoyed about at first, but it actually really helped me expand my style. I used to only own jeans, but the business casual forced me to try out ponte knit, corduroy, dresses, skirts, etc. I always used jewelry and shoes to make the outfits more fun, too!

Reaaaaally behind on my blog reading. Sorry I'm a bit late to see this post but I just love this! I'm definitely a jeans and tee kind of girl and am trying to find ways to make the look a little more polished. The denim vest and flats brings such a similar outfit up a notch with a structured layering piece and nicer shoes than my go-to favorites: sandals. Very cute!
