As a junior in high school, I've begun my college search. Let me tell you, it is not an easy process. Every school has so many amazing things to offer, and it is so hard to find the perfect match. At most of my college visits, I have met admissions officers, professors, and even college students. I have found that it's important to make a good first impression at every college campus! Here are some ideas for the perfect outfit to make a lasting impression:

I am so in love with this outfit because it's definitely going to make a statement. The playful bright colors show that you are a daring fashionista, but the mint blazer and flats show that you're classy with your style. This is a perfect outfit if you are looking at artsy colleges like FIT, RISD, or Pratt because it displays your eye for color, love for patterns, and sophisticated college style all in one! An outfit like this will be hard to forget!

I just adore this look so much! The oversized sweater with printed pants is totally trendy and my favorite part of this outfit is the collar. I love this outfit mostly because it is not too dressy and doesn't look like you are trying too hard to make a good first impression, but it's the kind of outfit that gets you noticed!

When you're visiting or applying to a high-level academic institution, it is important to prove that you are, as Elle Woods would say, "Serious!" Schools of this type require a more subdued yet fashionable style. This is the perfect outfit for a school of this profile because it has a business look with a fun, stylish side. The button-down shirt with a tan trench coat is very mature, while the patterned skirt screams "I'm more than just brains, I'm also beauty!" With a classy pearl necklace and French Sole flats, this look is complete!
No matter where you are applying, it's important to let schools know that you are a serious student and that you love their school! And make sure to always dress to impress and arrive in style!
