It’s been four years since I graduated from college and yet I don’t think I’ll ever grow out of that back-to-school mentality. September always feels like a bit of a clean slate, a chance to buckle down after a few months of summer fun, and a reason to reinvest in wardrobe staples that will carry me through the next two seasons. Today’s outfit features items I have worn or will wear dozens of times in my daily life and on the blog: the perfect striped button-down (fitted, but not clingy), my favorite clutch, my go-to skinny jeans, and a great pair of pointed toe flats. I topped it off with a new tortoiseshell necklace that was a little outside my comfort zone (um, the word “choker” isn’t really in my lexicon) but that I love in person.

Do you love back-to-school season as much as I do? What’s been your favorite fall buy so far?
Ah that moment when you promise yourself you’ll keep your books tidy and not scribble on the covers etc etc etc. Those were the days of a new season haha

I agree- no matter how long it has been since back to school, I can’t resist back to school shopping or using September as a time to get re-organized! Love the choker, it’s an awesome twist on something classic.

I’m also not in school anymore but still love back to school season. Something about back to school feels so fresh and crisp and exciting! Love this outfit girl!
I love the look, especially that clutch! So cute! I have been using a french wardrobe and capsule wardrobe approach which means I only get 33 items to work with each quarter, so going classic can be key. http://www.peonyandgrahams.com/2015/08/the-dream-closetthe-simple-chic-capsule.html
LOVE this necklace, Mackenzie!!! So cute.
