Your Guide to Back to School Shopping

Between navigating complicated school dress codes and keeping your closet stocked with school colors for football games, one thing is for sure - you either love back to school shopping, or you dread it year round. The key is to find plenty of staples that can be traded around with statement pieces to create endless outfit combinations. Here's a week in the life of a back to school shopper - how many outfits could you create from all these classic, comfortable pieces?

For the first day back, finding an outfit that fits somewhere between comfy and cute is essential. With finding your classes, catching up with friends, and carrying around new textbooks, fussing with your clothes should be the last thing on your mind. On Eden: a crazy-comfortable Loose Cap Sleeve Piko in Slate Gray, paired with Bella Blush Cropped Jeggings and statement Beau Beads. On Courtney: the Lara Top showing off a lacy Georgie Bralette, cozied up under our Gigi Cardigan with Mid-Rise Skinnies in Powder Blue. 

Keeping it classic and simple in fall's favorite color, rose. Grace is wearing the perfectly transitional Calli Top in Rose, the perfect sweater for those chilly in the morning, hot during the day times of year. Paired with our crowd favorite Kendall Flare Jeans and the new Lo Booties. When it comes to timeless outfits like these, keep the accessories simplified - classic gold hoops and the new Catherine Bangle are all you need.

For hump day, everyone will be crushing on this crushed velvet number. Grace is wearing the Skyla Top, a crimson velour tee with a cross neck detail, paired with our acid washed, charcoal gray Marley Jeans and the Grayson Booties. The Catherine Bangles come with your choice of rosie pink or white gemstones - Grace chose the rose!

You've made it halfway through the week, so there's no excuse not to step up your outfit game with a high contrast black and white look. On Courtney: the Laine Top with a lace up sleeve detail, paired with our Marley Jeans, Grayson Booties, and the simple glamour of the Poppy Ring. On Eden: an instant classic, the Ellie dress with patent black Palm Beach Authentic Sandals. 

Celebrate the end of your first week with an outfit that transitions straight from class to Friday night lights. Courtney is wearing the Maure dress, an embroidered number with a conservative v-neck, and Eden is showing her Mariner spirit in a striped t-shirt dress - coming soon!
