Hi guys! It’s that time of year again, back to school posts are heading your way. August is the Sunday of summer, and while I wish summer could last forever, heading back to school is inevitable. However, it doesn’t have to be the nightmare that so many make it out to be. There are plenty of things to love about the school year: spirit days, hanging out with friends, and of course…getting to wear cute outfits! Today I’m showing you a few of my favorite looks for back to school. Get inspired and rock the runway (or hallway in this case)!
Look #1: Lately, I have been obsessed with vintage & French girl style. Think Audrey Hepburn meets 2017 (I know Audrey is British, but just stick with me here). Inspired by my pinterest board, I put together this outfit with old school style in mind. I am in love with these new high waisted jeans. The frayed hem and lace-up detailing on the side makes a statement. Since the jeans are the focal point of the look, I kept the rest of the ensemble pretty simple with a striped button down shirt and a cream bralette underneath, paired with my white Keds.
Look #2: “Liv, are you actually wearing that to school?” Yes, yes I am. Those who know me personally know that I am notorious for dressing up for no particular reason. I wear skirts and dresses to school more often than most, but it’s all good because some outfits just deserve to be worn. This is one of those outfits. I love all of the pieces of this look because they each bring something different. The skirt’s wild print and unique silhouette draws the eye to it immediately. I love this tie top because it’s so versatile, you can wear it with skirts, jeans, shorts…whatever! Finally, I love these booties with all my heart (probably one of my favorite pairs of shoes in my closet tbh). And yes, I do wear heels to school because I’m extra, but I mean c’mon, this outfit is killer.
Look #3: Of course, even I have days where I want to be a bit more casual. I love this look because it’s super comfortable yet maintains my vintage-inspired style with the off-the-shoulder checkered top. I think the embroidered flowers on the sleeves adds to the cuteness as well! These navy shorts are super stretchy and easy to pair with pretty much every top. I opted for my silver sandals, as I would probably wear this while the weather is still hot, but when it starts to cool down, you could easily swap out sandals for sneaks!
p.s. I know my hair was “gone with the wind” but sometimes you just gotta roll with it 🙂
See? Going back to school isn’t ALL bad! Let me know in the comments below what your favorite thing about school is, we need to spread some positivity people…see you soon!

You have probably heard this before, but you guys NEED to roll your clothes. It totally saves room! If you need even more space, I would recommend using a space bag (those plastic bags that you vacuum the air out of). That way you don’t have to worry about cramming your entire wardrobe into your suitcase!
If you’re traveling with family or friends, it’s more than likely that you’ll accidentally mistake your electronics for another person’s. By putting the same pattern washi tape on your electronics, it’s so much easier to identify your electronics from the rest. Not to mention, it looks super cute too!
If you don’t like putting your shoes on top of your clothes when you pack your suitcase, you can use a shower cap instead! Stick your shoes inside a shower cap before placing it on top of your clothes. Alternatively, you can use a plastic grocery bag or a Ziploc bag, anything you have on hand to prevent your clothes from getting dirty! Super easy and neat!
This will save your butt if you ever get your wallet stolen. What I like to do is put money in a few different places, so that if one stash of cash gets stolen, you have other stashes hidden around.
It’s January and winter weather is finally normal where I live! Today was a perfect sunny day so my good friend Gigi and I decided to go shopping. Here, I put together an outfit that puts all of my winter fashion essentials into one look. Check it out…
