Soon the never ending parties and the sunsets on the beaches after a bonfire will come to an end. It’s July and we don’t want to even begin to think about what school will bring; book reports, essays, annoying math problems that we wish would solve themselves, and strange or mean teachers we could rather do without. But one of the bright sides to going back to school is rummaging through your closet for something to wear or going shopping for new clothes and supplies. Back to school shopping can be fun and could be considered the best part about going back to school; getting a new book bag finally or even a new haircut to start your year off. We all want that pizzazz when we come back to school whatever it maybe to show that we have change during the summer. Now you can back to school with some helpful tips to stay sleek and motivated to start your new school year off with a great big bang a garment that is just as cool as you silk!

Casual is good. Wear something that doesn’t attract too much attention can be good. But you can spice it up. Say your mom doesn’t see the point in buying new jeans or you just don’t have the money for it. Tying a silk shawl around you can make a world of difference. Where a nice white blouse with any pair of your raggedy jeans that you can’t stand and watch them be transformed. Take your silk shawl or it can be any piece of silk garment that can be purchased at a Wal-Mart or a fabric store that has to be in a triangular shape and tie to two ends together about your waist. Note, if you don’t have a triangular shaped silk garment you could cut it very carefully. The loose thread could create flare but you don’t want it to unravel so you could glue the loose ends back, you can use the scrap cut out for a scarf for another day.

Fabric can be used in numerous ways. And when going back to school you don’t want to wear the same thing over and over again. At womenclothingtoday.com you can find exotic patterns that can be worn on different occasions allowing your style not to be monotone. You could where your shawl as a poncho as well over a white t-shirt. It could keep you warm and yet cool on those last few days of the summer. Pair off the poncho painted silk shawl with a nice flowing skirt that best matches the silk. You don’t want it to be the exact color but maybe an accent color within the shawl. You could wear jeans as usual or even a nice solid color dress. Note, that you don’t want to add to much pattern with the hand painted silk due to the fact that the silk is already swimming in color. If you would rather wear something that has pattern there are always a gorgeous amount of solid colors to choose from. Stick with bright and exotic colors till summer is officially over like yellows, bright lime greens, light blue, pinks and many more. Nearing autumn and fall you could wear patterned blacks and browns and more neutral colors.
