If Cupid was your stylist, what would he want you to wear? It is almost Valentine's Day and that opens up the opportunity for your outfit to match the aesthetic.
For students, dressing for a theme may be the last thing on their minds with their daily expenses. But I’d say it is a fun way to experiment with style. Since we live in the age of Pinterest inspiration, you can find a plethora of ensembles or clothing pieces to create your looks.
There are also plenty of online websites with affordable clothing to choose from as well as thrift stores in the Chapel Hill-Carrboro area. So this guide not only contains pieces you can find locally, but will help you look great for any occasion.
Cafe meet-ups
Outfits for hanging out with friends at cafes like Epilogue Books Chocolate Brews or Tea Hill can be as casual or relaxed as you like. There is nothing like a cozy red turtleneck or cardigan and white slacks — good for the cold and comfortable enough to grab coffee with friends.
To tie your outfit together, try a pair of red ballerina flats. Accessories are always optional, but a red patent leather belt and bow hair clips are a great addition along with a gold necklace. Depending on which thrift store you visit, you can find certain jewelry pieces that stand out. A casual ensemble to love along with your latte!
Ackland Art Museum date
Why shouldn't your attire for visiting the Ackland give Carrie Bradshaw vibes? She is the moment, wherever she goes!
Any white blouse in your closet will do you good, like a linen white blouse or tank top. But red is the stand-out color. For this, you can thrift a dark red midi skirt along with pointed toe stilettos of the same color or lighter, or you can opt for a pair of black thigh-length heeled boots.
