Spring Fashion

By: Natasha S, Dhara S, and Divya K.

We all have those days when we just feel amazing. The sky is blue, the grass is green and the shirt you’re wearing isn't inside out or stained with a questionable substance. And then you turn on the TV, or watch the Oscars, or read a magazine and suddenly that shirt doesn’t seem that great anymore. Celebrities seem to have it all: the hair, the makeup, the outfit. We envy their ability to pay hundreds of dollars for a single outfit, when it would cost us an arm and a leg just for the shoes!

But unreasonable prices won’t stop us from being as fashionable as we want!So we bring to you the greatest fashion invention since 70’s hot pants, The Ultimate Fashion Handbook!

Look #1: Too Cool for School Let’s start off with an outfit made for those early morning rush-hours and sprints in between classes inspired by none other than Emma Watson. This outfit is very easy to put together. The articles needed are regular, everyday pieces. Simply throw a zippered denim jacket on over a graphic tank top. Finish off the look with a pair of patterned harem pants, and voila! A casual but oh-so-fashionable outfit perfect for school. http://www.teenvogue.com/images/entertainment/cover-stars/2013-06/e	Sample Piece 1 White denim vest- $18.89 @ Forever 21 http://canada.forever21.com/Product/Product.aspx?BR=F21&Category=sale_outerwear&ProductID=2027704205&VariantID=	sample piece 2 Patterned Harem pants - $18.80 @ Forever 21 http://canada.forever21.com/Product/Product.aspx?BR=F21&Category=bottom_pants&ProductID=2000106657&VariantID
Look #2: Red Carpet Night Out Next, we’ve got the perfect outfit for a night out, also inspired by Emma Watson. This red carpet-worthy ensemble consists of a brightly coloured cap sleeved dress, some dark tights, and dressy flats. http://ca.eonline.com/news/498484/emma-watson-rocks-dior-couture-dress-worn-over-pants-see-the-pics	Look #3: Inside Out Oreo Our next bold look is inspired by actress Keira Knightley. This outfit gives you a more formal look without being boring and drab. All you need to do is pair a cropped, white top with a simple, white, knee-length skirt, and add a plain black tank underneath. Be sure to add some (but not too many) black accessories to complete the look and tie it all together. http://www.teenvogue.com/celebrity-style/best-dressed/2014-03/week-of-march-3/?slide=9	Look #4: Cotton Candy Camilla In this particular ensemble, Fifth Harmony’s Camilla Cabello sports a cropped crewneck sweater with a flared black skirt and some lacey tan boots. Top it off with a black bow clip and you’ve got an outfit perfect for hanging out at the mall with your besties. http://stealherstyle.net/camila-cabello/
Look #5: Wendy and the Lost Girls Another favourite of ours is this simple black dress that works anywhere, anytime. It’s not too casual, but not too formal. At $27, it’s not a bad price either! You can find this particular piece at Forever 21, however this popular Peter Pan collar and minimalistic style of dress can be found almost anywhere in a wide range of colours.	Look #6: Rocker Chic Feeling in the mood for a jam session? Just throw on a sweet faux leather jacket with an edgy t-shirt underneath, slide on a pair of skinny jeans and rock some killer laced up boots, just like Lauren Jauregui! http://stealherstyle.net/lauren-jauregui/	Sample Piece 1 Distressed Faux Leather Jacket - $34.80 @ Forever 21
