Getting bored with your wardrobe? Need a change? No need to spend a lot of money buying the latest trends in fashion when you can just raid your mom's old closet! Yes, your mom's old closet, 80's and 90's wear... basically the same styles you find at Urban Outfitters, but it's free since you are related. Do not be discouraged by it; there are some real gems in there if you look hard enough. Scroll through to find inspiration in your mom's old closet, shoulder pads and all.

Mom's Pick: Printed Blouse

If your mom was in the workforce in 80's and 90's, you will likely come across some well-made blouses. Make this printed blouse more casual by adding a pair of jeans and flats.

Mom's Pick: Printed Bomber

Printed bombers are a great statement piece. To create a cool look, make sure the rest of your outfit is neutral, and adding a pair of cleated boots never hurts.

Mom's Pick: Structured Black Blazer

A blazer has always been a wardrobe essential. It is not only great for business wear, but also for casual wear. Style a basic black blazer with a body-con midi skirt, a textured crop top, and add a pair chunky biker boots to create a effortlessly chic look.

Mom's Pick: Denim Shirt

Who doesn't love a good denim shirt? Especially if there are cats on it?! A denim on denim combo is so effortless and stylish at the same time. Do not worry, you won't look like Britney Spears and Justin Timberlake at the 2001 American Music Awards.

Mom's Pick: Printed Sweater

Sweaters: one of the most comfortable things to wear. You can dress it up or dress it down. For a casual look, wear a pair of denim shorts, cute socks, and a pair boots.

Mom's Pick: Pinstripe Pants

Pinstripe pants are another wardrobe essential, effortlessly stylish and pairs well with other things in your closet. For an edgy look, mix different patterns together and add a leather jacket to complete the look.

Mom's Pick: Printed Button-Up

If there is one thing that the 80's and 90's are good for, it is bold patterns and fun designs. With a statement piece like this, it is best to keep the rest of your outfit simple and add simple jewelry to pull the whole look together.

Mom's Pick: Vest Dress

With a tank dress, there are plenty of options for layering. You can add tights, a turtle neck, or a long sleeve top. Do not be shy to play with different textures for layering.

Mom's Pick: Plaid Skirt

If you are a lover of 90's grunge, a plaid skirt is a must! No grunge look is complete without a pair of biker boots, a dog collar, and a black crop top.

Mom's Pick: Chunky Sweater

Because one can never have enough sweaters, am I right? With a chunky sweater, play up the quirky vibe by adding vintage-looking sunglasses and fun loafers.

Mom's Pick: Vintage T-Shirt

Vintage T-shirts with funny slogans and odd designs are cool and comfortable to wear. To make a T-shirt look more cool, try cutting off the sleeves to make a tank top.

Mom's Pick: High Waisted Trousers

High-waisted trousers are not only incredibly chic, but also flattering on most body types. It elongates your torso, cinches your waist, and makes your legs look like they go on for miles. Pair a crop top and different layers to make your look more fashion forward.

Mom's Pick: Gingham Pants

Gingham pants are so fun to wear. You can style them to be more flirty, like Brigitte Bardot, or make it edgy with a pair of Doc Martens. Mixing patterns will make you look more fashion forward.

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.
