The easiest way to change up a simple outfit is to add an accessory . There are so many different patterns and multiple ways of tying scarves that this option is limitless. You could also throw on a statement necklace and get away with a jeans + white tee combo any day. They are both quite easy to pack and are pretty inexpensive. A lazy top knot looks much better if you pair it with some elaborate earrings.
Just a little tip don't go overboard and try to wear a statement necklace and big earrings at the same time. There only a few cases where that looks chic, in all other cases it is a fashion fail.
For the love of Chanel and everything sacred, please do not under any circumstances bring really expensive jewelry or family heirlooms to your dorm room. While you may trust all your roommates and everyone who lives on your floor it is just not safe to bring such important artifacts. If you can keep them at your home.
Another important 'accessory' is a classic bag. While having a tote for everyday classes and cute clutch for nights out is great, I believe that adding a classic bag to your college wardrobe is a necessity. It will help you stand out from a crowd, whether it is at a sorority meeting or a date.
What are some of your essential accessories?
These are definite staples! I still love big earrings, but I tend to wear smaller necklaces. On that note, I should probably start looking for more statement necklaces!

I'm not in college yet, but when you're busy/lazy scarves seem like a great accessory to have a lot of!

I 100% agree with this post. I find that accessories can amp up the most basic outfits. I'm super picky about my bags because I know I will carry it around 24/7. A structured bag in a great neutral is key!

I love this post! I've really been getting into wearing statement necklaces at the moment - wearing one or a scarf with a plain tee and jeans is basically my uniform - so easy and comfy! I want to start wearing more statement earrings for those top-knot days - I think they look so cute! Great post :)
