5 Timeless Retro Looks to Wear Today

1. Peter Pan Collar

This look is classic, and can be dressed up or down. For a night on the town, some sleek black jeans amp up the drama. For brunch with the gals, denim cutoffs make this casual and cute.


2. Circle Skirt

Whether long or short, a circle skirt is guaranteed to give your outfit some sass and flare. A shorter circle skirt is great for the spring, and longer for the fall. The fuller body and folds of fabric look and feel luxurious and stylish!


3. Turtle Neck Sweater

Channel your inner artist with a classic black, or add your own flare with a color or tank sleeves—whatever the specs, a turtleneck sweater is classic and can be balanced by a shorter skirt or slim jeans.


4. Wind Breaker

Whether you’re bold enough to try a crazy vintage print or you just like the loose look and elastic waist, a 90’s windbreaker is a statement piece with surprising warmth. I love my dark teal windbreaker (goodwill!) and it keeps me warm in the fall, the spring, and even some milder winter days.

High-Waisted Jeans or Shorts

These were normal back in the eighties—after the low-rise craze of the early 2000’s, they’ve earned their own name on the shelf. High-waisted jeans (or high-waisted anything) are so flattering and, frankly, more comfortable than jeans you have to hoist over your butt all day. And personally, I’m super excited that the fitted-waist loose-leg Levi’s look is back from the 70’s. High-waist all the way.

Dear High School Friend Group,

My sweet angels, where would I be without you guys. We all grew up together because we either met in middle school or high school and watched each other grow up and get "old." We got to go to prom together and then graduate together. Then watched each other as we continued our lives in college, joining sororities and meeting people who will impact our lives forever. It all has happened so fast.

Oh college, we can’t live with you, but we can’t live without you. It’s a love/hate relationship, really. College is an experience that no one can ever prepare you for, and maybe that’s a good thing. You never really expect any of the things that college encompasses until you are there. College is fun, but don’t have too much fun. C’s get degrees, but they don’t get you into graduate school.

Blair Waldorf

The "Gossip Girl" series may be over, but Blair Waldorf's iconic character lives in our hearts forever. Blair was the queen of the Upper East Side, and a character you either loved or hated. She taught us everything we needed to know about life, love and of course, how to score a Chuck Bass. So the next time you feel a bit lost and are in need of guidance, look no further than to the Queen B herself.

As I spend my Sunday avoiding my homework and other adult responsibilities, I realized that I've watched this series over and over about a million times. Sadly, there isn't a Blair quote I don't know, so I came up with a list of a few favorites. You know you love her...xoxo

College is an endless cycle of crappy, sleepless nights, tedious, boring lectures, and hours of never-ending piles of homework.

Summer: a time (usually) free from school work and a time to relax with your friends and family. Maybe you go on a vacation or maybe you work all summer, but the time off really does help. When you're in college you become super close with so many people it's hard to think that you won't see many of them for three months. But, then you get that text saying, "Hey, clear your schedule next weekend, I'm coming up" and you begin to flip out. Here are the emotions you go through as your best friend makes her trip to your house.
