Winter Runway Fashion on Campus

So we all know that "low on cash" describes most college kids. And with the cold winter weather still with us, it may be tempting to trudge to class in your UGG boots, sweatpants, and a Northface. But looking good, staying warm, and being comfortable for a low price doesn't have to be difficult. I've taken Dolce and Gabbana's winter look (shown right) and converted it to a warm and stylish campus look for under $100.


1. Planet Gold Short Sleeve Sweater Dress, Macys.com, $20.99

More details/buy


This sweater dress is warm and plays on the cream color featured on Dolce and Gabbana's short sleeve sweater and sweater skirt combo. Though short sleeve, Macy's dress features a crew neckline for added warmth. Macy's dress is also the perfect length (mid-thigh) so that your legs don't get too cold walking to class on those chilly days.





2. Apt. 9 Opaque Microfiber Tights in Coal, Kohls.com, $4.99.

More details/buy

Even though the Dolce and Gabbana model isn't wearing tights, walking around campus in the winter can be quite chilly depending on where you attend school. To keep your legs toasty warm while still looking cute, I've picked out these inexpensive tights from Kohl's. To incorporate the gray from the Dolce and Gabbana sweater, I've chosen a medium gray color called "coal" on the Kohl's website.



3. "Pieretti" Boots, Aldoshoes.com, $41.99

More details/buy

Even though Dolce and Gabanna matches their boots with the cream color in the sweater and the skirt, I've chosen gray boots to match the gray tights. Though the boots have a little heel, the wedge is easy to walk in and perfect if you want a little flare while still being comfortable.



4. Starry Night Studded Beret, Charlotterusse.com, $9.50

More details/buy

To complete your look (just like the Dolce and Gabanna model), try a cute beret. I've chosen a gray, studded beret from Charlotte Russe to match the gray tights and boots. This is a perfect way to keep warm while still looking cute!
