No matter how excited you are to go back to school,Players Authentic Hats, see your friends, and start off your best semester ever, the last day of summer vacation is always a bit sad.

On the beauty front, I kept things simple with an easy, messy bun, nearly-nude pink nails, and a lightly tinted lip balm. See? Who says simple has to be boring?
I love the feminine ruffles on this top; they remind me of my favorite childhood sundresses. I paired the top with floral print shorts rather than a skirt, and added comfy jelly sandals: In this look, you can run around as much as you want, whether you’re playing tag or spot-the-shoe-sale! My inner child got insanely excited when I saw these heart-shaped sunglasses and retro friendship bracelets, so I used them to finish off the ensemble.

As you guys know, each month I feature special holidays and show you how to dress for them. For August 2010,Cheap Jordan Hats, the two events that caught my attention were “Simplify Your Life Week” (going on right now,Gianmarco Lorenzi shoes!) and International Youth Day. I also included a day that many of us will have this month, too–the last day of “summer”– or the day before we return to school.

In the outfit above,Metal Mulisha Hats, I wanted to show how to add some excitement to so-called “simple” pieces like a button-up shirt and pearl jewelry. I started with a classic oxford chambray shirt, which I paired with a nude ruffled skirt for a look that can go straight from work to a night out! Next, I added simple t-strap sandals and chandelier pearl earrings (a fun update on plain pearl studs) to complete this romantic look.
