When you think of going back to school, you typically think about upcoming schoolwork, syllabuses, meeting new friends and the stress behind breaking routines. When the first week of school started, before we even get to campus, we have to pick out a style from our closet.
Whether the outfit has a massive reputation or a simplistic nature, below is a small collection of some of my favorite outfits students wore!
