Lab & Fab Approved OOTD

If you don't personally know me or haven't followed my blog the last few months, then you might not know that I am at a completely new school for an entirely new career path. But because thats not what this post is about, I won't babble too much. This past summer, I started a new program and couldn't be happier with my choice. However, when it comes to long lectures and 2+ hour labs, things can get a little...'drab'. But to keep from feeling AND looking that way, I make it my goal to arrive at school feeling fresh and happy to start the day. Sometimes this requires a laaaaarge cup of coffee. ;) When it comes to attire, on lab days, due to federal law, students are not allowed to wear shorts or any sort of open toed shoes. Just more rules. So that basically knocks out about 60% of my wardrobe. But over the course of the summer, I have found what works for me. Cute and casual. This outfit below is a great example of what to wear to class when you have to meet requirements for lab. 

Outfit details:Top- Forever 21Distressed jeans- AERoyal blue flats- GapEarrings- my tahitian black pearls from a vacationLip color- MAC's Viva Glam V (hard to see it in this picture, but it is a gorgeous 'better than your lips' color, and I have been wearing it every day!)
Not only is this outfit approved for lab and super cute, but its also WAY affordable. (Less than $50!)
I hope you all are having a good week!
