Incorporating the Archaeology Aesthetic into Fashion

I'm not sure why I'm so drawn to the aesthetic of academia, but it's undeniably part of who I am. 

To be specific, I like the subtle aesthetic of archaeology. It could also be referred to as light academia. I have several Pinterest boards dedicated to this aesthetic, and in this post I will be sharing ways to incorporate it into your life, through fashion!

The first major component of aesthetic archaeology fashion are button ups. Both patterned and plain look amazing and give me strong "hot archaeology professor" vibes.

As for pants: neutral, solid colors are perfect. Khaki pants are my personal choice, but black pants as shown above work as well. Shorts will fit this aesthetic as well; don't forget that many archaeology expeditions take place in very hot & dry climates.

Here's an example of an outfit with shorts!

A camisa é um dos itens mais versáteis do guarda roupa de qualquer amante da moda. E, quando as temperaturas sobem, a peça ganha versões mais fresquinhas e levinhas, perfeitas pra encarar o calor. Selecionamos algumas delas que já caíram na graça das fashionistas por aí pra você roubar já e passar o verão tranquila e estilosa. Corre pro link da bio pra encontrar a sua ❤ #SummerComeback

This specific type of shorts are called "pleated mom shorts, if you're searching for them! Etsy has some beautiful ones for sale. 

Another popular piece in academic-style fashion is- you guessed it- a turtleneck sweater.

Again, the classic neutral colored pants come into play! This outfit is a perfect warmer option to the breezy, summer style alternatives.

The final piece I will be including is a leather backpack! Any leather messenger bag, satchel, or backpack perfectly fits the archaeology vibe and will add a ton to any outfit. They're fashionable while providing storage.

Best of luck to you on incorporating the archaeology professor aesthetic into your wardrobe!

Hello, I'm back! A letter from the writer who disappeared... & Hurricane Helene fundraiser

Hello everyone! It has been a million years (read: several years) since I posted on here, and that's because during college I was the Editor-in-Chief of my university's Her Campus chapter. All of my non-academic writing from college is hosted on the Her Campus website. Since I'm graduating in two months, and I want to continue writing, I'm back!! I've also been very active on my instagram, @strawberryblondebookshelf, for the past 2.5 years. It'll be my three year anniversary of that account in January! I love my community on Instagram and I'd like to start sharing my writing with all of you.  I will be writing a lot about books, as I did with Her Campus. I loved having a blog format to post my work in, and I'm very excited to be back writing on here. I previously wrote a lot about fashion on here, and I will probably still do that. I also plan on writing about some deeper topics as well.  I'd really appreciate if you subscribed so that you don't ...

Catholic School Inspired Fashion: by a Catholic School Girl

For a lot of people, a plaid skirt is synonymous with a uniform. I wore a lovely red, white, and navy blue plaid patterned pinafore as a child, and then graduated into polo shirts in middle school.  At that time I was also going through my emo phase, as most preteens are. It was challenging to be a young emo in religious school; Instead of being able to wear the black that I so desired, I had to settle for navy blue.  Anyways, this post is not about my experiences in Christian school, nor is it about going through your emo phase in a school uniform. Keep reading to see how to draw fashion inspiration from a Catholic school uniform! One of my favorite simple outfits is a plain black shirt and a plaid patterned skirt.  Here are two examples: (via Pinterest) (via Flickr) Both of these outfits are relatively simple, consisting of only a high waisted skirt and a black long sleeve shirt. In the second picture, you can see the top of the model's knee high socks.  Knee high ...
