Fashionable college girls come in all types and sizes. Some will carry their stuff in a huge backpack due to having heavy and big textbooks; others will get away with a clutch because they can take notes on their smartphones. No matter what type of bag you have, however, there are 7 items a fashionable girl must carry with her at all times in order to keep her looks nice and neat.
First comes a small mirror. The mirrors in the toilets on your campus are likely to not shed a good light on how you really look, so with a small mirror you can detect the need for upgrades of your looks anywhere. They are also handy when you want to see how a dress, skirt or pair of pants fits around your butt when you are out for shopping.
The second necessity is lip balm and/or lipstick. Throughout the day, your lips get dryer and dryer, at least, mine do. In order to keep a comfortable feeling on your lips and to keep them smooth, make sure you have lip balm with you for emergencies. When your lips have had their hydration boost, you can colour them with lipstick. Even if you wear no make-up at all, lipstick can boost your whole face by drawing the attention to your lips instead of to your sleepy eyes or grey face.
Third is a hairbrush, especially on windy or rainy days. With a hairbrush you can save the day by making neat pony tails or just brush your strands so that they look tidy again. My hair is of the type that frizzes as soon as there is a little, gentle breeze, so a hairbrush is definitely a must-have for me! And although umbrellas might keep your head dry, they do not guarantee a messed up hairdo.
Fourth is hand cream, especially during the winter season. Most hand soaps on campuses tend to easily dehydrate the skin of my hands, so for me the season does not matter, but during winter, there is nothing wrong with treating your hands every now and then. They are available for all skin types and in all price classes, so there is always one you can afford.
Fifth item that must not miss in your bag is toothpicks. While chewing gum is easier to use and might look less gross for others, picking your teeth is usually more effective. For example, chewing gum does not remove that annoying little crumb between your front teeth, and it also does not help you get rid of that spinach leaf between your teeth, so toothpicks are necessity number 1. They are also far more effective in removing plaque, which can eventually cause cavities. If you then wish to go for a fresh breath, chewing gum is the next step.
The sixth necessity is a pair of sunglasses. Where I live, the weather can change over the minute, so I have experienced that I walked through my city with squeezed eyes. Since that not so cool experience, I always check whether I have my sunglasses with me. Needless to say you need to carry them with you in a generally sunny climate! Sunglasses are ideal as well when you want to hide sleepy eyes or dark circles.
The seventh and last item you must have with you all the time as a fashionable college girl is a killer bag. Even though you might be one of the girls who needs to carry huge textbooks and binders, you can still add a cute clutch or envelope bag to your backpack. I personally feel like I am pulled to one side when carrying heavy books in a shoulder bag, so I combine my sporty purple backpack with either of the bags in the picture below.
What do you think of these must have items for fashionable college girls? Do you have them all with you already or do you value additional items as must-haves in your bag(s)?
