Outfit Post: Maxi & Stripes (Plus a GIVEAWAY!)

Outfit Details:
Top: Forever 21
Maxi Skirt: Forever 21 (similar)
Belt: H&M
Hat: Wet Seal
Sandals: Express
Clutch: H&M
Bracelets: H&M
Watch: Michael Kors

Okay, I know you guys are really excited, but first-this outfit is one of those that I put on, and was immediately attracted to because of comfort. I like this skirt because of the bright, Springy color however, it is also surprisingly versatile. Pairing it with this sleeveless shirt and a pair of sandals was a no-brainer…and thank goodness for no-brainer outfits this week, because I will be using my brain way too much for finals week. I just keep my sights set on my favorite part of finals week-the day I sell back my textbooks. I go in there with my bag full of books that I paid way too much money for in hopes of receiving, maybe, a quarter of what I paid for them originally.  However, that’s the life of a college student- you have to buy books! …Or do you?

I recently learned about the ever-so convenient, money-saving textbook rental program CampusBookRentals.com. With this site you can rent textbooks for the duration of the semester 40-90% cheaper than if you buy them elsewhere! It’s also nice because they have free shipping both ways, and you’re even allowed to highlight in the books you rent. So, I know a lot of you readers are students like me, and in honor of my upcoming graduation, CampusBookRentals has offered a $50 gift card towards a book rental for the upcoming Summer or Fall semesters to one of Living in Color’s student readers!

    This is such a pretty look; I admire you for wearing such a stylish outfit during finals week! Haha, I would be in sweats and a t-shirt.

    Girl, you were made for hats! They suit you. It makes you look like a 1940s starlet.

    This outfit is really cute- breezy and effortless. I love the color of the skirt!
    Good luck with your exams <3

    Cute skirt! I used to look for my books on Amazon.com because the school book store was so expensive! This is a great giveaway for college students. Too bad I'm 10 years too late…:)

    Girl, this is NOT how I looked "comfy" during finals weeks. More like sweatpants and unwashed hair. You look gorgeous, and I love the color of that skirt!
    Congrats on wrapping up your last semester of undergrad! Also, go celebrate by eating some Andy's frozen custard for me…I miss it SO much!

    You look so cute! I love the color of your skirt and sigh… jealous, wish I was still in school 😉 I just had some friends finish up classes and also sadly I think that's the last of them finishing undergrad! I wish I could enter the giveaway, but sadly I am no longer in school and am just beginning to look into grad schools!

    xoxo,
