Back to School Fashion - Retro Glam

You might have noticed - SCHOOLS ALMOST HERE! So I am revealing my 2013-2014 Style Guidelines. Yay! (Caution: Fashion Geek)

Fashion: 
The key to staying glamourous daily is refining the look. Keeping it simple. Also I'm going to go trough the two main seasons. 
Summer/Spring:
This look is perfect for summer. It's vintage, simple, comfortable and above all glam. Now I personally don't like jeans. They are uncomfortable, not feminine and hardly ever vintage but this is fabulous. A perfect look for school day or lazy day. 
Personally this is one of my favorite looks - just ever. You can never go wrong with flats, high-waisted capris and a button down cardigan. Cute and cozy. Good for spring when it's chilly sometimes. 
This look is authentically accurate to the summer in the 40's. Its perfect. Circle skirt, wedges and a blouse. Comfortable and cool. Great for summer still keeping it glam. 
This last look is my favorite. Nothing is more glam than a maxi dress - retro style. Plus you can wear comfortable flats and no one will see them :). 

Winter/Fall: 
Winter and fall is my personal favorite seasons for both fashion and weather. So here are some glam looks for cold weather;
First off a fabulous coat is vital. It's something everyone sees it's entirely visible. Black is the perfect color too. Really pops against snow. 
 Next is stockings. Slipping a pair of stockings under your dresses or pencil skirts not only looks and feels ultra retro glam but it also keeps you cozy warm. A good pair of stockings in both black and nude are essentials. 
This is one of my favorite looks. High neckline, long sleeves, form fitting. Perfection. Plus is so easy slip on some stockings zip up and done. Off to class. 

Hair:
Because I have short hair. I'll show you how I like to have it styled. But ill show some other options for longer hair.
