August is such a bittersweet month, on the one hand it's like you're so bummed summer is coming to an end and your break is O-V-E-R. But on the flip side there's the excitement of going back to school (for those of us still living in semesters) or work or whatever. It's kind of that transitional month where you can still get away with wearing shorts and crop tops but can also start pulling out light cardigans, blazers, & closed toe shoes as well. It's been my experience though that if not prepared your month can get a little hectic, and with all the "back to school" buzz going it can get pretty crazy. So here are a few DOS & DON'TS to help you navigate through the month.
DO
- Start doing your back to school shopping NOW!
- Have fun incorporating new patterns/colors/trends here and there into your wardrobe.
- Plan your shopping trips strategically, designate certain days for certain pieces.
- Shop early in the morning (less people, less lines, more options).
- Look for a good deal (it's prime time for buying winter items).
- Stock up on neutrals/basics.
- Hit up the makeup counters, lots of sales going on.
- Stay true to yourself, and listen to your gut!
DON'T
- Wait till the last minute to get things done.
- Buy something unless you REALLY love it.
- Get too swept up in trends *they go from IN to OUT in seconds*.
- Don't forget the shoes! Invest in that one vital pair you will basically LIVE IN everyday.
- Get suckered in to every "back to school deal" sometimes they're not worth it.
- Don't get consumed with stress, everything will be OK! *breathe*
