TREND TO TRY: COLLEGIATE

Pack your lunch because our newest trend to try is all about that COLLEGIATE look.  Whether you want to go sporty-casual or keep it classic in plaid there is something for everyone in just about every store this winter!  I personally loved this shoot because it allowed me to showcase my latest Stuart Weitzman boot obsession twice (seriously you need them).  I can honestly say after some major hesitation on dropping some cash on these beauties I absolutely think they are worth it and I wear them all the time.  Another bonus was our location for the shoot…Melissa shot the entire thing near Walton’s which meant plenty of yummy treats and good coffee

For this installation of TREND TO TRY, I partnered with our style contributor Cristina and headed to one of our favorite local boutiques here in Austin, Beehive.  If you haven’t been…GO!  The girls are always super helpful and the price point is perfection.  Located in Westlake, it convenient and I find several gems that I can’t live without each time I go.  All of these outfits came from Beehive (except for the boots I mentioned) and I bet you already have a few things that are similar hanging in your closet!

Keep scrolling for our THREE different versions of this collegiate trend and I’d love to hear which one you are most likely to try in the comments below!
