No matter how many years pass since I’ve actually attended classes, I can never shake that ‘Back to School’ feeling this time of year. Not only did Back to School shopping mean all new supplies (don’t get me started on how much my sister and I loved picking out freshly sharpened pencils and blank notebooks) but it also guaranteed a few brand new outfits for that last week of August when we begrudgingly caught the bus again. A lot has changed since I went back to 1st grade, 5th grade, 10th grade or even off to college.. but my love for a cool sweatshirt, leather oxfords and great bag has remained firmly in place.
SHOP THE STORY
This is truly the more grown-up, more New York version of an exact outfit I would have gladly picked out for myself at almost any of my school-girl ages. Okay maybe I’d replace the classic saddle bag with a backpack and the red lipstick with Dr. Pepper lip smackers, but that’s about it. I’ve always loved a slightly slouchy crewneck sweatshirt with some sort of cool embellishment (I’ve told Adam no less than 10 times how much I love this sweatshirt since I got it last week), a flippy skirt and menswear inspired oxfords. And there’s a comfort in wearing these things now knowing they’ve never let me down. Neither has a freshly sharpened pencil and blank notebook for that matter.
