School Accessories

Hi Leyn,

First of all I just want to say I am a big fan of your blog. I visit it frequently to get ideas or laughs.

Now that the start of school is nearing, I would just like to ask if maybe you could suggest accessories to make school uniform not look boring. Since I’m in high school, I don’t get to wear I clothes I want to. Do you have any ideas on how to make a uniform look more “me” ?

Dear Alina,

Hi there! Are you sure you’re a big fan? You might be mistaken. Lol. Thanks for visting my blog.

Anyway, unlike in other countries, schools are usually strict with uniforms so I won’t suggest something that can exaggerate your look. With regards to accessories, choose just 1 noticeable accessory per day. Collect headbands, bangles, and necklaces. Here are my picks:

Pick simple headbands. Do not be a gossip girl poser by wearing super-sized headbands and bright colors. Collect materials like thin ribbons, beads and thin chains.

Since layered necklaces aren’t appropriate with school uniforms, stick to multichain bracelets instead.

For necklaces and earings, wear the simplest pieces as much as possible.

Shift to shoulder bags from boyish backpacks. Though make sure that you choose youthful styles and not the office-type bags. Add charms and keychains to add style to your simple bag.

Just remember to buy accessories that are not too colorful para hindi mukhang cheap. Be particular with colors that should blend with your school uniform.

Good luck to your schooling.

Love Lots,

Leyn
