Back To School Special: Part 1

Why does summer always vanish in the blink of an eye, yet the school year never seems to end? I am sure many of you are aware it is that time of year again when we start to prepare ourselves to go back to school. I haven't quite begun this process yet, I leave Thursday and I don't have much packed. Oops. 

For the next few posts I thought it might be fun to do a combination of a few different things. I love reading blogs and watching videos showing ways to make going back to school fun and I hope to bring some of that to my blog. From first day of school outfits to school supplies ideas. I will also share some tips and advice to make the most out of your school year. 

Alright, so first things first. Here are some great first day of school outfit ideas I put together. I am kind of in love with them. Since I am a girl, I don't know much about guys fashion, and as much as I would love to pick out some things I think a guy might like I think it is best if I stick to just girl stuff. So girls, let's get to it!

~FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL OUTFITS~

For The Girly Girl
Dress: $29.94 Booties: $36.94
Cardigan: $36.94 (Online Only)
I love this outfit for a few reasons. The first reason is because it is relatively cheap. I look at blogs and videos often for outfit ideas but they always seem to be expensive and from designer name brands that I could never even begin to afford. This look is entirely from Old Navy and it is so easy to substitute pieces you may already have to recreate a similar outfit. I also like this outfit because it is cute and comfortable. This is a great dress for the summer and with the cardigan and booties it transitions into the fall so well. Also the cardigan is nice because sometimes schools have the AC blasting and you don't necessarily want to become an ice cube.





For The Boyfriend Type
Tank Top: $17.99 Watch: $34.99
Jeans: $29.99 Sneakers: $27.99
This is probably one of my favorite outfits that I put together for a back to school look. This is a great look to show off either a girly side or a more laid back tomboy side. I love the floral tank top paired with these comfy boyfriend jeans. This tank top brings a girly flare to an otherwise tomboy outfit. The shoes and watch bring it all together quite nicely. Again I am all about cheap, but cute, outfits. This entire outfit is from the one and only, Target. :)











For The Soft Rocker
Sweater: $17.80 Shorts: $15.80
Earrings: $2.80 Boots: $27.80
I am so obsessed with this outfit!! I put this outfit together because I love the look of this sky blue sweater with black faux leather boots. It's like a girly rocker look and I love it. So often when talking about outfits or styles, things are only one type of style. For example, this is a preppy look, this is a sporty look, this is punk, that is girly. But with this outfit it is bringing different styles together and I love that. This outfit is so simple yet so cute. This outfit is also so easy to recreate and use your own pieces to make it unique to you and your personal style. This entire outfit is all from Forever 21.







For The Cheap Prep
Shirt: $40 Watch: $70 Earrings: $14
Shorts: $26 Shoes: $35
This is definitely the most expensive outfit I have put together for my back to school looks. However, when looking at some preppy style outfits on Pinterest, they were all very expensive and designer-name brand items. So I felt that this was a more affordable option. This outfit is super cute and perfect for any girl who enjoys the preppy look but can't necessarily afford it. This entire look is from JCPenny and could be cheapened even more by finding similar items from different stores or using pieces you may already own.




For the sake of this blog post I only used 4 stores as inspiration for each outfit: Old Navy, Target, Forever 21, and JCPenny. The great thing with these outfits is that they contain so many simple clothing pieces that you may already own making it so easy to recreate these looks spending little to no money. 

What will you wear on the first day of school?

Love Always,
