How to Wednesdays: Exam Comfort

I just had my first exam at 8:30am this morning and I have to say that I really did forget how fantastic it is to dress in my favourite jeans and sweater and to not really care about how I look (feeling good, feeling lazy). I think the secret to dressing comfortably and somewhat stylishly, is to simply wear your favourite items and just combine it all into one outfit.

A foolproof formula is to wear your favourite jeans (or leggings), a massive sweater, scarf and comfy shoes. I tend to wear some chunky knits during exams as they seem to always turn on the air conditioning in the rooms I've written exams in. Not really sure why, but the wool really does help keep me nice and cozy. Better prepared than sorry!

Also, what's not to love about getting some of your favourite treats when you're studying? Rewarding yourself after a successful day of studying is definitely the best route to pursue, it keeps you motivated and replenishes you. My other favourite treats when I'm studying are apple slices, carrot sticks, almonds and of course, a hot mug of tea.

The absolute last thing is to make sure you relax! As stressful as exams can be, don't forget to just get up and enjoy the fresh air.
Side note: This post was done entirely through instagram, sorry, I have been too overwhelmed with studying that by the time I get home from campus, it's already dark out as the sun has been setting at 4:30pm everyday.

  2. Good luck with your exams Jess! You're almost done! <3 I loooooooove this look! Truly! It's so cozy and so cute at the same time. That yellow cardigan is so cheerful, especially in the gloomy seasons of Fall and Winter. That scarf looks soft and cozy enough to sleep on. I'd probably fall asleep on it during a test hehe :P
