I’ve been seeing soft, swingy vintage-inspired dresses in many mall stores lately. The loose, comfortable silhouette is perfect for college students who are either running across campus or sitting in class. 
This navy floral-patterned dress by L’idiote was sheer and needed a slip, but it could also be worn as a tunic over jeans or leggings. On Melanie we paired it up with rugged brown and tan wedge leather boots by Naturalizer. I only paid $6.97, but they were new with the tags and priced at $149!
I love finding high quality items at Goodwill. These boots are also waterproof and will take Melanie all the way through to spring. She could pair them with skinny jeans and a sweater for a more casual look.
While the navy, cross body bag is perfect for her phone and ID, she will need to get a back pack for her books and supplies.
Wearing a dress every day to school is probably not practical for most students, but this look is easy to pull off. It’s just as simple as throwing on jeans and a t-shirt. Up your fashion game on campus – Goodwill is here to make it affordable, even on a student’s budget!
