Wear- TOGA Party

I go to school in Southern California, so although it never gets too cold, the school put on an event for the students to try and end the summer season with a big of a bang.  What better way to do that then TOGA PARTY!!!! Yes, typical I know, but a blast nonetheless.  It was set up outside near fountains so people were dancing all around and also splashing around.  Since this is one of the most attended parties of the year, people get pretty into the costumes and go all out.  I wanted to dress up without spending money on a toga so my friends and I had a fun DIY toga time before going out where we all helped each other make the perfect toga.

Mine was just a white bed sheet that I wrapped around myself in an unnecessarily  complicated way and since I didn't have any pins, I tied a purple ribbon around my waist to hold it all together.  The ribbon was a fun way to add a pop of color without using anything expensive.  I topped off the look with a pair of wood-heeled wedges and some fun bracelets!  I chose to keep my look pretty simple-mostly out of fear of getting thrown in the fountains, but I like the idea of a toga party because you can really dress up your toga any way you want!  One my friends paired her toga with a thick leather belt which looked awesome, and my other friend decided to wear a silk sheet to make it look a little dressier.







Of course, there are a ton of different ways to dress up a toga, below are some ideas to make your toga stand out more!

I love this  leather and chain headband from Juicy Couture because I think it gives off the perfect amount of a Greecian vibe, while staying modern.  The braided detailing mixed with the leather and gold chain is the perfect pop to add to any toga!

Of course, gladiator sandals are another obvious pick!  These adorable Steve Madden gladiators are perfect because they add a perfect pop to a rather plain sheet, and they are comfortable to walk/dance around in.

I would also suggest adding some fun arm cuffs to complete your look!  Like I said, you can take this look so many ways so it is all about what look you are going for.
