Back to school

Thursday, August 18th, 2011

The first day of going back to school is always nerve-wrecking but exciting. When I was in college, I was a total fashion victim…I didn’t know what my style was and I was experimenting and figuring out what kind of clothes I want to wear. Then I started reading a lot of fashion magazines and slowly, I began to develop a passion for personal style. Now that I’m going back to school in less than a week, I feel inspired to collect items that I want to keep in my closet and in my room!When I was young, I thought that people who wear glasses are really smart. So I got a pair of fake glasses and wear them all the time so that people think I’m smart too!Back to school style inspirations! I wish I have enough space in my room for that couch! 1. Marc By Marc Jacobs Classic Backpack $460.00 (ssense.com) 2. ASOS Book Clutch $43.10 3. Orla Kiely Pencils $10.95 (http://www.paper-source.com) Β 4. OUTLINE VASE $48.00 (uncommon goods.com)Β 5.

    Ha! I did the exact same thing with fake glasses, turns out I just looked dorky!
    I love your picks, as always, especially the first two outfits.
    I WISH school had been that stylish!

    Funny about the glasses. πŸ™‚ I love the outfit you’ve put together: how soft and delicate must be that mohair sweater. And grey with red is just one winning combination. Have beautiful day, Shin!

    The Marc Jacobs backpack… To die for!!! I wish I had some excuse to buy it haha!! I live the necklace in your back to school outfit too! I was a fashion victim most of the way through college too… Funny how things turn out huh? I kinda wish I was going back to school. Even if I hated sitting through classes it was less exhausting than work is, and a good reason to invest in a new fall wardrobe! <3shelby

  15. GREAT picks. The bag and necklace are awesome. Absolutely loving the marc jacobs backpack as well.

  16. The preppy school look is one of my faves! I’m not in school anymore but I still love it. Unfortunately, I actually need to wear glasses/contacts. At least I look smart. I think one of the most fun things about starting school was getting new school supplies and clothes. This post makes me want to shop – I guess for the school of life. πŸ˜‰ I want the Marc by Marc Jacobs backpack, the happily-ever-after pillow, and the teddy bear. Why is it so fun to have cute paper, pencils and notepads? I guess it just makes boring things a little special. =)

    you can’t understand how stressed I am for my first school day, this year! College starts, and in High School I had an uniform so I didn’t have to chose an outfit every morning..! Can’t wait to see, but I’m sure I’ll love it πŸ˜€
    btw, the outfit you want to wear is PERFECT πŸ™‚

  21. NΓ‘dia says:

  24. Brooke says:

    I wish i could put together outfits like you do!
    I love the first day of school outfit. And I would totally wear it if it weren’t 105 degrees here.
    But I want to buy the pieces and wear them when it gets a bit cooler πŸ™‚

  25. Today I’m loving the chaise and the pillow. I’ve always wanted a chaise for my master bedroom.

  27. Deppa says:

    I used to think that people with glasses was smart too! but I never get a pair for me! lol.
    Also, my outfit for the first day never was special, because at my school we always used uniforms, so it was very boring.

    See you πŸ™‚

  28. dahl says:
