First Day of School

The day has finally come, the first day of school. One of the most important questions-- next to who you have for teachers of course-- is what you plan on wearing.

This summer high waisted shorts were a big hit, which explains why so many girls wore them on the first day of school. High waisted clothing is a throwback to the mid 1900's when they were first introduced to fashion.

So whats everyone's obsession over these shorts? High waisted shorts give girls an opportunity to create their own clothing if they so choose. For example, many high school kids have taken their mom's old high waisted jeans (if they have held onto them) and cut them into shorts. Then on top of cutting them some people will bleach them different colors and add studs to make them unique and interesting. These shorts allow you to recycle and update your parents' clothes!

While high waisted shorts were a casual option for the first day of school, maxi skirts were also very popular. Although Maxi skirts are a little more formal than high waisted jean shorts, they can still be worn all the time! Maxi skirts offer a comfortable option for a bottom to pair with any kind of top: sweater, tank, or crop top. They come in all different prints, colors and textures and are very reasonable in price!

 I started off my junior year with a black maxi skirt ($22.00)and LUSH floral tank top ($20.00) from B.P. When i first went looking for an outfit at B.P. I had a difficult time deciding what I wanted because I loved everything I tried on! After thinking it through, I decided on the skirt and tank because I felt as though not many people would have either of these pieces and they both were extremely comfortable for the 6 hour school day i had ahead of me. I highly recommend shopping at B.P. next time you are looking for an outfit for the first day of school or just clothes in general! B.P. at Nordstrom offers all sorts of different clothes and advice from the great stylists they have working there!

While I returned to high school in more formal attire, my sister decided to start freshman year off more casual. She chose to wear a green shear tank top ($15.00) and pair it with a pair of ripped,dark wash high waisted shorts ($25.00)-- both from Hollister.

Although waking up for school these next few months will be hard, the chance to wear, buy, and see the seasons new clothing will be very exciting!
