For lots of us right now, finals are starting to slowly creep up and the end of the semester is once again nearing. I don't know about you but with winter in the air and school dragging on longer than I'd like, my outfits have been a lot more casual and simple. No one ever said you couldn't make casual look cute however, this little outfit pairing is a perfect everyday look for Uni where you just want to put your hair up in a high bun and rock those nerdy glasses. 

I love oversized sweaters and find that the best kinds are always hidden in the mens section. I think a key tip for any shopper is to venture out of your comfort zone, I always take a peak in the mens section because often times they have really lovely prints and fabrics that you just don't find in the ladies' sweaters. Also, winter time is perfect for the oversized grunge look and a men's sweater doesn't have to hug your curves but can look really really chic. Pair that warm knit sweater with your favourite pair of jeans and rock some killer boots. I love the colour burgundy and these awesome combat boots from H&M would be a wardrobe stable for me all year round. Personally, I think the best part about looking casual is being able to accessorise, with basic outfit pieces you're allowed to pop on a few more jewels than you usually care to. These crescent moon studs are absolutely beautiful and paired with the simple brass Triangle necklace, you'll have just the right hint of sparkle. Throw on some extra gold rings and paint those nails a fiery red such as Essie's Shearling Darling. For Uni I like to keep my makeup rather natural and the perfect palette for neutral shades would have to be the Urban Decay Naked 2 Palette, that with a few wisps of mascara and a neutral lip pairing Nars Isola Bel Lip Pencil and Super Vixen Lip gloss is key for a neutral but sexy everyday pout. For on the go touch ups, carry your makeup in this little Crossbody Bag and then you're ready. Ready for finals or any day at the University with a little badass edge and natural makeup that will let you be comfy, nerdy, and super super fierce.
