Clothing pieces that won't bust your buttons

Thanksgiving is the holiday known solely for busting buttons. Not to say we aren’t thankful for one another, but food definitely takes center stage. Turkey, potatoes, and pie (oh my), satisfy every corner of our taste palette. However, these wonderful delicacies come at a cost. There’s usually at least a 5- to 10-pound weight gain after the holiday season. Buttons and zippers aren’t very forgiving so for a bit your clothes might not feel as comfy as they always did. This doesn’t mean you have to stick to sweatpants until you return to your normal size (unless you want to- then more power to you). There are plenty of clothing pieces that are dressy and more than forgiving, no matter how many times you went back for seconds.

Sweater Dress:

Major shout out to sweater dresses for, IMO, being the perfect clothing item to hit the market. For one, who doesn’t love sweaters? They’re like a big soft blanket that you can wear in public. Plus- it's a sweater in dress form, so you don’t have to wear pants?!? All these traits and it still looks like you took your time to get all gussied up. Pair it with knee high boots for the perfect party outfit.

Suede Joggers:

Pants can be pretty stubborn. Those pants that were perfectly buttoned when you get to grandma’s will probably refuse to budge after dinner, if you’re lucky, you’ll get maybe one closed. With joggers, no buttons=no problem. Normally joggers have a more athletic feel, but that doesn’t mean they can’t have dressier options. Suede joggers are a perfect thanksgiving fabric and can look classy as ever paired with a nice heel and blazer.

Bell Sleeve:

Light and flowy, need I say more? Bell sleeve blouses give you the perfect amount of movement while still giving you the structure of blouse. Style it with a simple pair of pants and heels, or even wear it with a skirt for a dressier look.

Don’t let your buttons and zippers keep you from having a stylish thanksgiving!

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
