CARLY Back to School

Must haves for Back to School fall…

Blazers. Stock up on all the colors!!! There is nothing like dressing up a casual outfit with a blazer. They’re not just for business casual anymore. Wear a blazer over a summer dress to make it more appropriate for fall. Wear over a tank top for a more conservative look. Or wear it with jeans and heels for dinners with friends!

*****

Ballet Flats. As the weather cools down, keep your toes covered in comfortable flats. Flats can be worn with high waisted skirts for a dressed up look, or jeans for a casual look. Keep them tucked in your backpack to change into after a presentation or meeting!

** The Jack Rogers Girl sent me a pair after the giveaway I hosted… and let me tell you.. they are amazing! So soft, definitely no achy “break in” period!**

*****

Little Satchels. They’re perfect for weekends, whether you’re shopping during the day or heading out to dinner at night. Throw the essentials in and you’re off.

*****

Thick Headbands. Perfect for bad hair days, early mornings, or studying in the library.

*****

Tinted Lip Balm. Much more low-key than lipstick, the tinted balm still gives you a put together look. Toss a few in your pencil case for quick pick-me-ups before class with that cute guy.

I think this fall is about using what you have and adding only a few key accessories to make your wardrobe feel like new!
