Between two internships, a part-time job and a full class load, my schedule tends to get hectic. Despite the additional responsibilities I’ve taken on, being a student is my full-time job and number one priority. Making good grades will always be à la mode, and throughout my college career I’ve spent many hours in the library in order to accomplish the high goals I set for myself.
When I choose an ensemble for a long night at the library, not only do I want it to be stylish, but comfortable and functional as well. Perhaps the most crucial element of a library outfit is your handbag. I’m constantly on the hunt for a bag that is not only chic, but also large enough to fit the textbooks and notebooks necessary for a lengthy study session.
When I first spotted this Rosetti houndstooth tote, I was immediately struck by how posh and attractive the handbag looked. The interior of the bag proved to be spacious enough for all of my study materials and the many compartments allowed me to stay organized. This tote is ideal for a studious Fashionista on the go.
Styling this versatile tote was incredibly easy. First, I chose a silk black and white button-down shirt, one of the go-to staples in my closet. This breezy blouse compliments the houndstooth print of the tote perfectly. I always try to add a splash of color to my ensembles, and these skinny mustard yellow ankle corduroys make this outfit pop. Comfort is key for a long night of studying, so I wore my trusty pair of black peep-toe ballet flats. Lastly, I added a bold black statement necklace to make this look even more polished.
When styling a piece as timeless as this houndstooth tote, it’s best to keep your look classic. Choose few key closet staples, including your favorite button-down shirt, a pair of perfectly broken-in jeans or corduroys and a pair of ballet flats, and you'll be looking smart. Add a bold statement necklace to finish off this sharp ensemble, and you’ll be sure to earn an A+ in style!
