Back to School Lookbook | Fall 2017
I'm sorry to have to be the 100th person to tell you again, but --summer is OVER and school has made it's rounds and has come back again. We're all saddened and annoyed by another year of demanding work and effort, for some of us, and we're all crying to not be able to sleep in until 2 PM and walk around in our PJs or other ensembles that would get us a slip for dress code. Although, I'm here to make sure that even though this may not be your year, you're still going to be walking down the halls lookin' cute and no one can have anything on you, because they know you're killing it too. As always, here are my Top 5 Back to School Trends for 2017.
Trend Nº 1 - Denim, Denim, Denim
I think it's safe to say that Denim will always be a safe and excellent choice for back to school trends, but this year, we're getting a little more 'outrageous'. All those claims that say "Don't wear denim on denim" or "don't wear the same color denim" --throw them out the window. As trends expand and change, denim will always be a good idea. Try different styles, pieces, and colors and wear it with confidence, or else you'll feel terrible the entire day.

Trend Nº 2 - Leather Details
Mix up your look by switching out a basic jacket (or it's sleeves), skirt, and footwear for something with leather. Leather is such a great material that adds a fresh edginess to your look. Unlike denim, don't go full leather with all your key pieces, until we find a way to make it look good. Leather is a great way to make your everyday style a little more different.

Trend Nº 3 - Modern Prep
Take on a classic look and combine it with today's styles for a modern preppy chic look. Have fun with classic pieces like sweaters, ties, and plaid skirts. Create a unique look by mixing all your favorite patterns, colors, and textures for something to brighten and make your year more exciting. Experiment with layering and keep it simple.

Trend Nº 4 - Summer Overalls
Bring summer attire to the class room with some classic denim overalls or even shortalls. Throw them over any pattern shirt (or the classically in style floral tee) for a cute and simple look that looks more put together and fun for an easy outfit. Mix your overalls with bright colors and unique accessories for a fun look that doesn't let you forget summer.
