I Did The Shopping So You Don't Have To: Back To School Edition

It’s That Time Again—Back to School Season!

You know what that means—time to retire last year’s wardrobe and give your closet a refresh! The first week of school is prime time to make a killer first impression, and this year it’s all about embracing that effortlessly cool girl look. You know the one: casual tees paired with a mini skirt or even boxers for those laid-back yet chic vibes. Think less “I tried way too hard” and more “I just threw this on, but look how fab I am.”

No cool girl look is complete without the right accessories! This year, I’m leaning into denim—I mean, who isn’t?! Forget the basic school backpack; we’re upgrading to a denim tote for a vibe that’s both functional and fashion-forward. Bonus points if you find one with a fun graphic or patchwork design! Oh, and let’s talk glasses. Even if you’ve got 20/20 vision, you’re gonna want a pair of oversized frames to complete the look. Whether they’re prescription or just trendy blue light glasses, it’s all about adding that touch of “smart but stylish” to your vibe. Are they more fashionable than functional? Absolutely. Do we care? Absolutely not. We’re here for the aesthetic!

And let’s not forget about the casual sundresses—they're a must-have in every cool girl’s wardrobe! Perfect for those days when you want to look put-together without the effort, sundresses give you that easy, breezy vibe while still making a statement. The best part? You can throw it on and go, no styling stress is required. Effortlessly chic, comfy, and perfect for those insufferably hot back-to-school days!

So here’s your game plan: casual tee and mini skirt, or a casual dress, with oversized glasses, and a denim tote. Add some chunky sneakers to the mix, and you’ve got a first-day-of-school outfit that screams effortless cool. Whether you’re hitting up campus or just running errands, you’ll be serving looks without breaking a sweat. This year, it's all about turning heads while keeping things laid-back and fun.

Happy school season from this senior!
