Back to School Outfits


School is starting back up again… ugh! The only good thing is back to shopping! We put together a few outfits that will really get people saying “she has style!”



First day of school!  Everybody’s favorite day to dress up! New teachers (to impress), new friends, and new fashion trends. This outfit is versatile, flirty, and overall chic with a casual twist, a denim jacket! The club Monaco black dress with scalloped edges gives the look an elegant feel, while still being comfortable. The new balance shoes and gap denim jacket add a relaxed look.


Tuesday… the forgotten day, the dreaded day why do we have to still be at school!? You rolled out of bed and just want to be comfy and casual… right? A pair of chic and unique zipped jeans will definitely do the job! Pair them with a simple white tee and some wild espadrilles and you are good to go! Who is with us for Tuesday to get more attention, this outfit will definitely do the trick!


Guess what day it is? Hump day! Does that saying not get repeated at least 100 times on Wednesday? A pair of perfectly on trend boyfriend jeans and a v neck navy and white striped shirt will totally add a HUMP of style into your day! Who doesn’t like Birkinstocks? They never seem to go out of style, these metallic ones give the look a little kick!





One more day till Friday, so lets get pumped! This boho white shirt will throw us back to the summer vibes while still being "school appropriate". Shorts? yes they are finger tip length and super cute, add some flashy, metallic flats to tie in this effortless fashion-forward look. 





Its Friday, Friday gotta look cute on Friday! Everyones favorite day on the homework packed, form signing, week! Woo hoo! This outfit screams bohemian from the shirt to the skirt! The white imprinted shirt and army green skirt really complement each other. To tie off the look (literally) are some black wrap up sandals that are comfortable and stylish to wrap up the week!
