Back to School Outfits

I know most people have already started classes, but I leave for school tonight. Heading back to school, no matter the age, is always exciting. We all want to show off how much we have grown up, gotten prettier, smarter, more fit. Nothing exemplifies this desire than the outfit you wear on the first day of school. Hours go into crafting an outfit that says "look at the fabulous new me".

This summer I got tan (and by tan I mean no longer whiter than a piece of paper) so that's what i'm going to show off. Here are a couple of outfits that highlight the new you.

J. Crew Tank // Ray Ban Sunglasses // Tory Burch Bracelet

Modcloth Satchel // J. Crew Chinos // Keds Champions

You spent all summer slowly working up a tan while staying sun safe, show it off with white shorts and a cobalt top. Wear a hint of gold to show that you are no longer a strictly silver girl.

Topshop Peplum Top // Kate Spade Watch // Henri Bendel Bracelet

Abercrombie & Fitch Jeans // Michael Kors Bag // Topshop Wedges

This summer you ate right and worked out, show off your fab body with an always flattering peplum top and skinny jeans. Keep colors dark for an extra slimming touch, and complete with bright accessories for a pop of color.

Madewell Silk Dress // Loren Hope Earrings

Michael Kors Tote // Lucky Oxfords

You spent the summer running, lifting, and getting ready for fall. Show it off with a sleeveless dress in a solid color. Keep accessories minimal to keep all the attention on your awesome guns.

J. Crew Tuxedo Shirt // J. Crew Glasses // Kate Spade Watch

Alice + Olivia Skirt // Topshop Satchel // Jon Josef Smoking Loafer

You spent the summer with your nose in a book: studying for the SAT, the GRE, attending lectures, and sharpening your mind. Show of your smarts with a plaid skirt, glasses, and a classic satchel.
