5 Ways Denim Is The New Black

It's the start of a new school year, and with that, comes new trends. However, this recent trend isn't exactly new--you've probably had some of these items for years. Dust off your jean skirt from middle school, because denim is the current fashion craze. Here's a few items you need right now to be on trend:

1. Overalls


They aren't just for the 90's anymore. Recently, pictures of girls in ripped-up overalls have littered my Instagram feed, and I can't help but jump on the overall bandwagon. They're effortless yet edgy, and they can make any outfit 100% more interesting. I like to pair them with simple crop tops and platform sandals. Rachel Green from "Friends" isn't the only one who can rock overalls anymore.

2. Skirts


Yet another piece of clothing that has made it's way in and out of many decades. Denim skirts are so easy to dress up or dress down, it's no wonder they seem to always make a comeback. A simple piece like this goes with almost everything, and it is essential to have in your closet. They go great with boxy crop tops and leather booties.

3. Shorts

The classic, jean shorts. I've been wearing them for as long as I can remember, but recently they've gotten an upgrade. Lately, denim shorts have been covered in patches and embroidery, creating a retro or vintage look. No longer just a music festival staple, these shorts work best with plain tops and simple accessories.

4. Bags


I'm a sucker for a leather bag, but recently I've taken an interest in bags made of--you guessed it--denim. Stella McCartney came out with the Denim Falabella for Fall 16, using the recent denim craze to her advantage. Denim bags are perfect for spicing up a monochromatic outfit and transitioning from summer to fall.

5. Dresses

Last but not least, the denim dress. If you love denim, why not wear a whole dress made of it? Take a cue from Julianne Hough and match a denim t-shirt dress with booties and a leather bag (if only we could all carry a Céline like she can). Not only is this loose-fitting style comfortable, but it can go from day to night with the help of a heel.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
