What You Need Right Now - Back to School!

As much as it pains me to say this, Summer is coming to an end. The only positive thing about Summer ending and school starting again is the fact that you get to dig out all your fall clothes to wear again. I thought I would do this "What You Need Right Now" focused on back to school to show what some pieces are that you could wear as you head back to the classroom.

Black Blazer
Forever 21

This black blazer is perfect for heading back to school. It is completley versatile and wearable on any body type. The cropped sleeves make this jacket have a younger, effortless feel. Try pairing it with skinny jeans and boots for a polished look, or with a summer dress and flats to help transition from Summer to Fall.

Colored Denim
Forever 21

One of the things I am most looking forward to wearing back to school is colored denim. Colored denim was a huge trend last year, and has stayed strong this year. Because denim is wearable year round, this trend is definately worth the investment. Try wearing your colored denim in a jewel-toned hue (maroon, emerald green, royal blue, royal purple, etc.) to keep it fresh for Fall. Denim can be paired with anything, which will make owning a pair helpful in getting dressed before school in the mornings.



Oxford Flat
Betsey Johnson

 The oxford has made a huge comeback recently and has been seen on many celebrities like Taylor Swift. Not only is this trend completley adorable, it is completley wearable as well! They are comfortable and casual enough for a long day in a classroom. I like this pair by Betsey Johnson because they are neutral enough to pair with any outfit, and the ribbon lace is detail makes a once-mens-only shoe just pretty enough for women. Pair your oxfords with skinny jeans and a oversized men's plaid shirt, or with a floral dress and an oversized cardigan and you will be cute and casual as you head back to school.

Leather Bomber Jacket
Forever 21

Leather jackets have made their way from trendy piece to staple wardrobe item in what seems like overnight. They have a cool, effortless vibe that makes whatever you wear under it seem edgy and trendy. A black bomber jacket like this one from Forever 21 is a perfect cooler weather option when heading back to school. Because they look good over just about anything, it will be easy to grab in the morning as an extra layer to your outfit.



Crossbody Bag
Nordstrom BP

 Having a bag to carry back to school is one of the most important things to invest in when shopping for back-to-school. This bag meets all of the requirements of a perfect school bag: its fashionable, easy to wear (love the long strap!) and is big enough to carry all those awful textbooks. By getting a bag in a neutral color, like camel or black, you are ensured that it will be perfect with any outfit you choose to wear every day.
