No, it's not her ability to rock a mustache. Yes, surprisingly, it's her style.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=collegecandy.com&amp;blog=860993&amp;post=65463&amp;subd=collegecandy&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div id="attachment_65469" class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 410px"><a rel="attachment wp-att-65469" href="http://collegecandy.com/2010/06/30/i-love-your-style-sarah-silverman/sarah-silverman-mustache-photos/"><img class="size-full wp-image-65469" title="sarah-silverman-mustache-photos" src="http://collegecandy.files.wordpress.com/2010/06/sarah-silverman-mustache-photos.jpg" alt="" width="400" height="295" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">She&#039;s ready for the Mustachio Bash-io.</p></div>
<p><em>Who or what inspires your style? Many of us use actresses (like </em><a href="http://collegecandy.com/2010/06/16/i-love-your-style-lisa-bonet/"><em>Lisa Bonet</em></a><em>) or movie characters (like <a href="http://collegecandy.com/2010/06/23/i-love-your-style-lux-lisbon/">Lux Lisbon</a>) </em><em>as style inspiration, even though, most of the time, they are being dressed from head to toe by the best stylists.</em></p>
<p><em>Which we don’t have.</em></p>
<p><em>And sometimes it’s damn near impossible to work their Hollywood looks into our not-so-Hollywood lives. I’ve made it my mission to tap into the mind of a fashion stylist and show you how to take your style inspiration – whatever it may be – and make it more you!</em></p>
<p>At one point in my life, there was a time when I did think Sarah Silverman was absolutely high-larious on her show, <em>The Sarah Silverman Program</em>. Unfortunately, those days have long since passed, but I&#8217;m still left with something about her that I admire.</p>
<p>Besides her ability to nonchalantly rock a mustache at a super-formal event, surprisingly, it&#8217;s also her style.</p>
<p>Just to be clear, though: it&#8217;s not Sarah&#8217;s red carpet looks that I covet. While she has been known to work corsets, ball gowns and sexy frocks to big-time events, that side of Sarah&#8217;s style doesn&#8217;t interest me because, 1) she often makes <a href="http://collegecandy.com/2009/09/21/the-emmys-red-hot-red-carpet/">major fashion mistakes</a> and 2) she looks so&#8230;<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_9JQp3UcTNSo/SCJAQaaxvNI/AAAAAAAAAtM/ZAPldUGstBo/s400/sarah+silverman.jpg">not Sarah</a> (and really, painfully uncomfortable).</p>
<p>The Sarah Silverman style I love is her everyday, low key, totally casual, I don&#8217;t give a sh*t, look. On a normal day Sarah doesn&#8217;t do much to make herself look like anything special.  Her typical uniformed style is a track jacket, jeans, Converse and her hair in a ponytail.  Ravishing?  Ehhh, maybe not to some; lord knows Joan Rivers wouldn&#8217;t have nice things to say about it. But I think that style <em>is</em> Sarah and it sets her apart, in a good way.  Most celebrities in movies or on TV have to constantly make sure they look perfect, almost like the audience should strive to look like them.  But Sarah, on the other hand, would rather just be real and look like the audience themselves.<span id="more-65463"></span></p>
<p>Sarah&#8217;s style is not typically what someone who has any interest in fashion would take to be iconic, but for some reason I do.   It&#8217;s goofy and casual.  It&#8217;s worn by mostly everyone, but she still totally Sarah. And it&#8217;s easy to incorporate into your style because the goal is not only to not try too hard, but to not try at all.</p>
<p>And, if you think about it, while she&#8217;s not draping herself from head to toe in the latest trends or looking to Rachel Zoe for style assistance, Sarah does posess a lil&#8217; somethin&#8217; somethin&#8217; that other fashion icons also have: that magical ability to <strong>not give a rat&#8217;s ass how people think of her.</strong> If you rock that confidence, you can go far with your style, whatever it may be, and probably even make wearing <a href="http://collegecandy.com/2010/06/21/the-weekly-ten-the-fads-we-miss-or-maybe-not/">Tamagotchi&#8217;s on your belt loops</a> look cool again.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><span style="text-decoration:none;"><img class="size-full wp-image-65465  aligncenter" title="Picture 1" src="http://collegecandy.files.wordpress.com/2010/06/picture-19.png" alt="" width="392" height="425" /></span></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><a href="http://www.fredflare.com/customer/product.php?productid=5790&amp;page=12&amp;cat=283">Ring</a>, <a href="http://www.karmaloop.com/products.aspx?ProductID=73487&amp;VendorCode=ADI">Jacket</a>, <a href="http://store.delias.com/frontpage.do">Jeans</a>, <a href="http://www.forever21.com/heritage1981/product.asp?catalog%5Fname=FOREVER21&amp;category%5Fname=81whatsnewall&amp;product%5Fid=2076276033&amp;Page=1">Tee</a>, <a href="http://www.dillards.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?catalogId=301&amp;storeId=301&amp;langId=-1&amp;productId=501540155&amp;linkshare=null/affiliate">Sneakers</a></p>
<p>This t-shirt and jeans combination is probably worn by everyone in our generation, so add some sass to it.  Tight skinny jeans and a distressed/well-fitting, funny t-shirt add the casual and goofy staples to the outfit without looking sloppy.  The track jacket is one of Sarah&#8217;s famous &#8220;pieces,&#8221; so add one to your outfit in an eye-catching color that will brighten up the look a little bit more. (If track jackets don&#8217;t do it for you, go for a bright colored casual cardigan instead. The look is a little bit less Sarah that way, but you still get the essence of casual cool she exudes.)</p>
<p>Throw on the mustache ring to add some novelty and silliness and classic Converse sneakers, which go perfectly with the entire look (I love them paired with skinny jeans) and seem to be Sarah&#8217;s favorite shoes.</p>
<p>And there you go. Done and done. Just don&#8217;t start talking about still being a bedwetter or your bowel movements and you can <em>look</em> like Sarah without being as&#8230;open&#8230;as Sarah.</p>

You don't want to get all decked out in sequins only to spend your night at some dive bar with hay and peanuts on the floor. But you don't want to throw on tattered jeans and a tee only to find out you are going to some swanky mcswankerson lounge.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=collegecandy.com&amp;blog=860993&amp;post=51805&amp;subd=collegecandy&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-51861" title="Picture 3" src="http://collegecandy.files.wordpress.com/2010/01/picture-31.png" alt="" width="289" height="281" />Getting dressed for a night out can be quite a conundrum. You don&#8217;t want to get all decked out in sequins only to spend your night at some dive bar with hay and peanuts on the floor. But you don&#8217;t want to throw on tattered jeans and a tee only to find out you are going to some swanky mcswankerson lounge.</p>
<p>And don&#8217;t even get me started on dates. We all know the fear of being too overdressed (heels or flats? jeans or a dress?) only to wear the wrong outfit and feel silly.</p>
<p>Well no more. Thanks to this kick ass belt (I am a firm believer that big belts make everything better) we now have two trusty &#8216;fits for those nights where anything goes. Both of these looks can be dressed up (with a quick swap of heels instead of those boots) and can be worn right into Spring. Because a stylista as budgety as yourself knows the importance of versatility!<span id="more-51805"></span></p>
<p><strong>The Big Belt With a Dress</strong><br />
If there&#8217;s one thing I know it&#8217;s that some things are worth spending on. And this belt is definitely one of them. It&#8217;s versatile, it makes a statement and it&#8217;s the perfect transition piece. The wooden beads scream summer, but the brown makes it heavy enough to wear now.</p>
<p>You can work this belt with just about anything, but I love it next to the bright hue of this dress. And have you seen the back? Hello there, sexy. Obviously the dress is great on it&#8217;s own, but adding the belt and covering up that bow takes a simple sheath and make it a little less simplified. Throw in the hair clip and some flat brown boots and you&#8217;re ready for some techno and an overpriced drink, or some 80s live-band-karaoke and a $2 beer.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-51855" title="belt look 1" src="http://collegecandy.files.wordpress.com/2010/01/picture-10.png?w=528&#038;h=416" alt="" width="528" height="416" /><em> </em></p>

<p><strong>The Big Belt with Jeans</strong><br />
Wood, coral and turquoise may just be the best combination EVER. So obviously this is a look I am obsessed with. Throw a cardigan over the top for now and, come summer, swap out the boots for some flat woven sandals or cork wedges. This ensemble is easy and chic and just screams &#8220;Looking this good just comes naturally to me&#8221; and what better message could you send?</p>

<p><em>And maybe a restraining order or two.</em></p>
<p><em>But it’s worth it to highlight fresh, unique wardrobe choices that show personality and the courage to wear what you believe in.]</em></p>
<p>She’s a senior and while she may be dealing with a bad case of Senioritis, her style certainly isn&#8217;t. No matter what time she wakes up in the morning &#8211; sometimes ten minutes before class&#8230;and sometimes ten minutes after it&#8217;s started &#8211; Jessica always stays fly and manages to pull on something cute. Even if its her simple staple look &#8211; one of her many v-necks, a scarf, and a pair of comfy jeans. She just makes everything look <em>good</em>. What got me to notice her in a sea of students wearing jeans and v-necks, though?</p>
<p>Her hot pink Longchamp bag and a fantastically contrasting bright scarf. This girl just knows how to stand out.</p>
<p><strong>Name</strong>: Jessica<br />
<strong>Year:</strong> 2010<br />
<strong>Major</strong>: Political Science, Global Health Certificate<br />
<strong>Jessica in 3 words</strong>: tongue-in-cheek, spontaneous, eclectic</p>
<p><strong>1) Describe your personal styl</strong>e.</p>
<p>I&#8217;ve never really defined my personal style; it&#8217;s pretty eclectic and definitely varies with my mood. I&#8217;m from San Francisco and people sometimes tell me I have that easy-going West Coast vibe: skinny jeans, colorful Chucks, v-neck tee, and scarf. I love v-neck tees and have them in every color. Sometimes I&#8217;ll feel more girly and wear a pretty sundress with sandals or flip-flops (never heels, just too uncomfortable for me).  I don&#8217;t know, I go through phases!  I&#8217;ve been through a punk phase, a boho phase, a hipster phase&#8230;I don&#8217;t have much time to get ready in the morning, though, so I definitely go for something comfortable and easy to wear.<span id="more-45943"></span></p>
<p><strong>2) You can’t leave your house without your ________.</strong></p>
<p>Bright pink Longchamp bag!  I carry it every day whether I&#8217;m going to class or just going out to dinner with friends. I can fit everything in it, including my laptop!  I also love how it’s so bright and goes with basically any outfit.</p>
<p><strong>3) Name your favorite store.</strong></p>
<p>I absolutely love this online boutique called <a href="http://www.80spurple.com/">80&#8242;s purple</a>; it&#8217;s an eclectic mix of basics and bolder, more “out-there” looks.  I also love shopping in boutiques in Hong Kong (you can get designer clothes at much cheaper prices), and you can never go wrong with Forever21!</p>
<p><strong>4) What/who is the biggest influence on your style?</strong></p>
<p>I can&#8217;t really pinpoint one influence. I guess I just absorb what I see in the media, magazines, and on my friends &#8211; and then choose my own style from there!</p>
<p><strong>5) What’s your favorite trend, past or present?</strong></p>
<p>Scarves. I LOVE scarves &#8211; all types!  I have at least twenty from all over the world.  Whenever I travel, I always pick up a few from whichever country I’m in at the time.</p>
<p><em><strong>Clothes in the picture:</strong><br />
Top</em>: BCBG, Max Azria<br />
<em>Jeans</em>: Hollister<em><br />
Necklace</em>: Forever21<br />
<em>Kanye shades</em>: thrift store in Berkeley, CA</p>
<p><em>[Is there a fashionista on your campus whose style should be celebrated? Someone who is always pushing the style envelope and lookin' damn good doing it? Someone who always seems to put together the coolest outfits, no matter the occasion? <a href="http://collegecandy.com/contact-us/">Send us a picture</a> and she (or he!) could be featured in a future Campus Couture!]</em></p>

<p><em>But it’s worth it to highlight fresh, unique wardrobe choices that show personality and the courage to wear what you believe in.</em></p>
<p>I’ve known Meagan since elementary school, and she’s always been one of the happiest people I know (she’s a cheerleader so she has to be, I guess). Her clothing choices are always full of color and spunk, and she is the definition of cute: a tiny body with a big personality that shines through her outfits. She doesn’t sacrifice comfort for fashion, however, because she believes that fashion is not necessarily about looking good, but feeling good. And that is the most inspiring thing I&#8217;ve heard about fashion in a long, long time.</p>
<p><strong>Name</strong>: Meagan<br />
<strong>Year</strong>: 2012<br />
<strong>Major</strong>: mechanical engineering<br />
<strong>Meagan in 3 words:</strong> levelheaded, nerdy, friendly</p>
<p><strong>1) Describe your personal style.</strong><br />
Casual and comfortable, but definitely cute. Most days you’ll see me in a nice top with jeans and flats.  I’m very down to earth, not overly girly with lots of make-up or anything dramatic. Just comfy and cute.</p>
<p><strong>2) You can’t leave your house without your ________.</strong><br />
Cell phone.</p>
<p><strong>3) What is your favorite store to shop at?</strong><br />
Nordstrom &#8211; they have everything you need from outerwear to underwear.<span id="more-44815"></span></p>
<p><strong>4) What/who is the biggest influence on your style?</strong><br />
I don’t idolize a celebrity or a specific designer or anything. I’m influenced the most by my friends, and usually I just wear what’s most comfortable. For me fashion isn’t about looking your best, it’s about feeling your best.</p>
<p><strong>5) What’s your favorite trend, past or present?</strong><br />
Skinny jeans.</p>
<p><em>Featured clothes</em>:<br />
Dress &#8211; Forever21<br />
Belt &#8211; Nordstrom<br />
Leggings &#8211; Nordstrom<br />
Flip-flops &#8211; surf shop in San Louis Obispo, CA</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align:center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-39086  aligncenter" title="graphic tees" src="http://collegecandy.files.wordpress.com/2009/08/graphic-tees.jpg" alt="graphic tees" width="510" height="306" /></p>
<p>Graphic tees are a fun, comfortable way to express your individuality and style (sorry, your &#8220;I LOVE BEER&#8221; shirt doesn&#8217;t count&#8230;), without breaking the bank. Every one of us has at least one that we enjoy wearing on a regular basis, but most likely we are wearing it simply with a pair of jeans or some sweatpants for the sake of comfort. While <a href="http://collegecandy.com/2009/08/20/the-celebrities-who-turned-on-us/">Jon Gosselin</a> ruined graphic tees for the world, if done right (Read: not over-the-top and obnoxious), they are a simple and fun way to add some serious cool to any outfit.</p>
<p>Here are some ideas to re-work the graphic tee with some other items you&#8217;ve already got lying around.<span id="more-39070"></span></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><strong>1. Wear it under a jacket.</strong></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-39083  aligncenter" title="under a blazer" src="http://collegecandy.files.wordpress.com/2009/08/under-a-blazer.jpg" alt="under a blazer" width="346" height="493" /></p>
<p style="text-align:left;">We all have at least one type of jacket in our closet, whether it be a a basic suit jacket, denim jacket, or cropped. The structure of the jacket adds a bit of class and makes the outfit look a bit more put-together, while the graphic tee adds an edge to an otherwise simple (or stuffy) outfit. An easy accessory to dress up the outfit even more is a long necklace, preferably one that is not too over-the-top. You don&#8217;t want to overdo it, after all.</p>
<p style="text-align:left;">Oh and, for the love of Anna Wintour, PLEASE, don&#8217;t pair a denim jacket with jeans. No one wants to end up on a Glamour &#8220;Don&#8217;t&#8221; page along with the old picture of Justin and Britney in their matching head-to-toe denim tuxedos. Eek.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><strong>2. Wear it with a vest.</strong></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-39084  aligncenter" title="under a vest" src="http://collegecandy.files.wordpress.com/2009/08/under-a-vest.jpg" alt="under a vest" width="370" height="370" /></p>
<p>The graphic tee looks great with a longer sweater vest or  a shorter suit-inspired vest for an added layer of style. This look is perfect for a polished casual look with jeans, or even a night out with some hot dark denim or black pants with some sexy pumps. Adding a long necklace or scarf will complete the look and take you from &#8220;jeans and a tee&#8221; to &#8220;totally chic and put together.&#8221;</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><strong>3.  Wear it with a long-sleeved shirt.</strong></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-39085  aligncenter" title="madonna-blue-long-sleeve" src="http://collegecandy.files.wordpress.com/2009/08/madonna-blue-long-sleeve.jpg" alt="madonna-blue-long-sleeve" width="397" height="479" /></p>
<p>I know, I know; picturing this style may remind you of your high school days or fall American Eagle or Gap catalogs, but you can make this outfit look stylish so that you can show off creative graphic tees even in cooler weather. Try to coordinate a different-colored long-sleeved tee under. For example, a more neutral graphic tee could use a fun, bright long-sleeved tee underneath. Conversely, wearing a more neutral tone under a colorful graphic tee will ensure that the tee is the focal point. Make sure to pull down the long-sleeve tee so that the bottom pops out from under the graphic tee near your hips. This look also looks great with a thinner scarf!</p>
<p>While these may be simple adjustments, when grabbing a graphic tee out of your closet, many times the temptation is to wear it alone as part of a casual outfit. This way, you can get an extra bang for your buck by being able to wear your graphic tees for all sorts of occasions- regardless of whether they are casual (pong tournament!) or on a hot date!</p>

Now it's the perfect item for any occasion, whether you are picking up boys at the bar or rolling out of bed 5 minutes before class.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=collegecandy.com&amp;blog=860993&amp;post=37070&amp;subd=collegecandy&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="size-full wp-image-37172     alignright" title="tshirt intro" src="http://collegecandy.files.wordpress.com/2009/08/tshirt-intro.png" alt="tshirt intro" width="420" height="251" /><em>Most guys we know stay up late dreaming of the day they might end up in a giant orgy with beautiful women. We, however, lie awake at night dreaming of a closet full of beautiful clothes. To the left, a <a href="http://collegecandy.com/2009/05/14/fashion-porn-shoe-orgy/">wall of shoes</a>. To the right, shelf upon shelf of delicately <a href="http://collegecandy.com/2009/05/21/fashion-porn-purse-orgy/">handcrafted bags</a> organized by color and size.</em></p>
<p><em>Sigh.<br />
We all have our fantasies.</em></p>
<p><em>Since guys can turn to the interwebs to get their daily fantasy fix, we thought you should, too! So, we’re bringing you some <a href="http://collegecandy.com/2009/07/16/fashion-porn-floral-orgy/">fashion porn</a>. The best of the best in all things fashionable. Sure, it may be out of your price range, but it’s a fantasy, so live it up in all its delicious glory. </em></p>
<p>The t-shirt is arguably the most versatile item of clothing in a college girl&#8217;s closet.  Though they originated as undershirts, the tee has come along way.  Now it&#8217;s the perfect item for any occasion, whether you are picking up boys at the bar or rolling out of bed 5 minutes before class.  T-shirts are no fuss, they don&#8217;t require ironing, and go with jeans, skirts and sweats!</p>
<p>Whether you are trying to make a statement, stand out from the crowd, or blend in to a lecture hall, there is a t-shirt out there for you.  Want to hit the bar without looking like you tried too hard? Jeans and a t-shirt. Want to go casual cool when meeting up with the girls? Add a blazer and some <a href="http://collegecandy.com/2009/07/31/the-budget-stylista-dont-be-fooled-by-the-rocks-that-i-got/">choice accessories</a>. Want to look uber chic for a martini party? Tuck a tee into a high waisted skirt and hit the town in those gladiator heels. You can also show off your love for 80s pop stars or subtly declare your love for College Candy without ever saying a word.<span id="more-37070"></span></p>
<p>So no matter what look you&#8217;re going for, there is a tee (or multiples in multitudes of colors) our there for you. I love &#8216;em all, and here are some of my favorites:</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align:center;"><a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/3033476.shtml"><img class="size-medium wp-image-30443 aligncenter" title="zinc" src="http://collegecandy.files.wordpress.com/2009/05/zinc.jpg?w=391&#038;h=600" alt="zinc" width="391" height="600" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align:left;"><em>[I want it, I need it, I can’t live without it. There are so many things on store shelves and racks right now that we want to take home and hang in our closets. Things that are so cute, everyone should know about them. We’ll <a href="http://collegecandy.com/2009/05/25/wardrobe-wish-list-calvin-klein-sarkia-pump/">share ‘em with you </a>here (because we’re </em>that<em> nice), but as far as actually getting them goes….well, you’re on your own with that one.] </em></p>
<p style="text-align:left;">If you’ve been looking for something a little different to spice up your everyday wardrobe, this unique piece by Zinc may just be the answer. This sheer top is super easy, super cute and super duper flattering on everyone. It features feminine, multicolored embroidery on the front and back as beautiful lace runs along the top at the neckline. The black and lace provides a more mature look while the colorful floral embroidery gives it a girly feel. A cinched waist shows off your curves as the lower half flows over nicely over your hips.</p>
<p style="text-align:left;">This wonderful tunic is definitely a better alternative to pair with your jeans than any one of those twenty t-shirts you have hanging in your closet (or crumpled up on your floor&#8230;). It is more stylish and chic without looking too much like a “night outfit.” When you’re not sure what to wear, put on this elaborate top, some jeans, maybe a few bangles, and you’ll have a great outfit that looks totally put together without looking as though you put in a lot of effort… because you didn’t.</p>

In this new series, I'll be taking a different item you probably already have in your closet each week and showing you three new ways to wear it. After all, the best shopping tip anyone will give you is to only buy pieces that work with something you already own. Last week I glammed up the <a href="http://collegecandy.com/2009/04/15/shopping-your-closet-3-ways-to-wear-a-black-t-shirt/">basic black tee</a>, and this week we're moving on to blazers.]</em></p>
<p>You probably have a blazer.</p>
<p>Your mom made you buy it and now the only time you pull it out of your closet is for job interviews and funerals. Other than that, it just hangs there and takes up space that would be better suited for a new pair of sweats. But your basic black blazer (like the one pictured right, from Old Navy) can be very stylish and versatile!</p>
<p>Wear it during the day to your internship for a mature (but not &#8220;old&#8221;) look, or to dress up a pair of jeans on the weekend.</p>
<p>Here are three new ideas for rocking a black (or whatever color you might have) blazer.<span id="more-28472"></span></p>
<p>1) <strong>Polished &amp; Professional</strong>. At work, you want to look put together without dressing like you&#8217;re 30 years old. The blazer is perfect. Just pair it with a basic fitted shirt (like a tank) and pants that don&#8217;t match <em>exactly</em> (to avoid looking like Hilary Clinton in a pantsuit). Then style it with fun jewelry or a belt, a hot pair of heels and you&#8217;ve got a new, go-to work look! Click on the image to view shopping info:</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><img title="Blazers 1" src="http://www.polyvore.com/cgi/img-set/BQcDAAAAAwoDanBnAAAABC5vdXQKFkZxRFV0VkEwM2hHcnNfZHNiVFRBUmcAAAACaWQKAWUAAAAEc2l6ZQ.jpg" border="0" alt="Blazers 1" width="400" height="400" /></p>
<p>2) <strong>Casual Chic</strong>. When you&#8217;re heading out for a day of shopping or errands, it&#8217;s easy to fall into the rut of jeans, t-shirt, flip flops (or Uggs, depending on the weather). By throwing on a blazer, it&#8217;s easy to look chic while stocking up on Chef Boyardee and Ramen. Wear it unbuttoned with rolled up skinny jeans, a white tee, and basic heels (OK, you can wear flats if you&#8217;re really feeling lazy). North Face fleeces and hooded sweatshirts &#8211; you&#8217;ve met you&#8217;re match!</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><img title="Blazers 2" src="http://www.polyvore.com/cgi/img-set/BQcDAAAAAwoDanBnAAAABC5vdXQKFk5PV3d3bFEwM2hHeUdyYUo5Z3hmRGcAAAACaWQKAWUAAAAEc2l6ZQ.jpg" border="0" alt="Blazers 2" width="358" height="358" /></p>
<p>3) <strong>Nighttime Glam</strong>. We&#8217;re in that weird season between summer and spring right now, where it&#8217;s too warm for sweaters but not quite warm enough for tank tops. This problem is easily solved with a black blazer &#8211; wearing one over your sparkly tank top or mini dress will make you look glamorous and stylish when you&#8217;re out on the town. And your boyfriend will be happy that he won&#8217;t have to give you his!</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><img title="Blazers 3" src="http://www.polyvore.com/cgi/img-set/BQcDAAAAAwoDanBnAAAABC5vdXQKFkhpdVl3MVUwM2hHT3BlU0w5Z3hmRGcAAAACaWQKAWUAAAAEc2l6ZQ.jpg" border="0" alt="Blazers 3" width="400" height="400" /></p>

<p>Relaxed fit pants are the must-have silhouette for spring 2009. With the correct fit, they strike the perfect balance between appearing effortlessly chic and professionally appropriate. They can be worn for a day out, a night out, or even to your summer internship.</p>
<p>But without the correct fit, they can also go horribly, horribly wrong.</p>
<p>When you try them on, make sure they are fitted in the waist and butt. They should be looser and more relaxed over your thighs, and tapered and cropped above your ankles.</p>
<p>Since cropped pants can make your legs seem shorter, wear heels to balance everything out if you&#8217;re on the petite side. If you&#8217;re taller, pair them with heels or wedges for a dressier look, or flat gladiator sandals for a more casual vibe. Just stay away from ballet flats.</p>
<p>Because you&#8217;re going loose on your bottom half, you&#8217;ll want to wear a more fitted top. A tucked in blouse works for a more professional setting. When you&#8217;re not at work, wear a slim-fitting t-shirt and belt around the pants. Click <a href="http://cupcakesandcashmere.com">here</a> to see an example of how to rock this trend on one of my favorite blogs, <a href="http://cupcakesandcashmere.com">Cupcakes and Cashmere.</a></p>
