Summer is over and June is finally here. That means BACK TO
SCHOOL people.
Honestly, are you guys excited to go back to school?
While some of you are excited, there will be some who will definitely answer,
“NOT”. I used to hate school back then
and I miss it now more than ever. So cherish the moment, kids.

Anyhoo, this post is for all you Estudyantes out there. Most of us, if not all,
have uniforms. Grade School, High School, College Students and even some
professionals have uniforms to wear all week long. Uniforms come in different
shapes, colors, design, etc. And we must admit that some of them are dull and plain boring.
Worry
not, coz I have a few tips on how you can spice up your uniforms.
1. Change Hair Styles and Hair Accessories. Sporting different hairstyles and hair accessories during school days can instantly spice up your school uniform. Berets, headbands, ribbons and hair clips can do wonders not only for your uniforms but for some other outfits as well.

Gossip Girl's Queen Bee wearing her head bands to school. I wish I saw her when she went here.
2. Add a Time Keeper. Being fashionably late for school is not cool, not only because you’ll be in a bad spotlight on the class but also because you’ll never know what important information you’ll miss. Worse, by the time that you arrived, your classmates are done with their pop quiz. So adding a Watch to your school uniform is like hitting two birds with one stone, style and time keeper.
When I was in High School, our School Directress does not allow us to wear watches. We totally understand her because she just wanted to protect us from snatchers.
3. Bad Ass School Bag. When it comes to choosing your school bag, my advice is that, you choose something that will not give up on you when you need to carry all your bulky books plus rubber shoes, all in one day. As for the design, look for something that you can easily match with your School and P.E. Uniform.
Don't you just love a Jansport Bag when you are a High School student? I know I did, unfortunately, we aren't allowed to use backpacks.
4. The School Shoes. When I was still in High School, we had a very strict policy when it comes to wearing our school uniforms and school shoes. We are only allowed to wear school shoes that are plain black, not two inches high and white plain socks that are higher than our ankles. When you are in college, it will be a lot different, because you can wear high heeled shoes (but black still, for most school), flats, etc. with or without socks on. If your school is not so strict and you think you can pull it off, you can go for colorful socks too!
I love wearing flats when I was in college, they are the best when you have to run from one class to the other.
But for the sexy kolehiyala look, go for stilettos. Good luck!
5. Wear something over your uniform. In the Philippines, June is the start of rainy season and wearing something over your uniform to protect you from the cold rain is important. Pick the ones that can complement the color of your uniform.
Just a few reminders to all our students, since most of
us are on a tight budget, if you still have your pair of shoes from last year
‘s and are still wearable, don’t be shy to use them again, . Same goes to your
bags and other accessories. Or if you really need to buy there are a lot of
inexpensive bags, shoes and accessories all around the metro that you can buy,
so you don’t have to spend that much. You don’t need to buy new and expensive stuff just to become fashionable
or stylish.
So are you ready for your first day high?
Good luck and
have a great school year head!
