The first day is always so exciting! I love seeing old friends and meeting new ones – and love wearing all of my new school clothes! In the lookbook at the bottom of this post I added lots of dresses, skirts, tops, sweaters, and shoes that would complement your fall wardrobe perfectly. All of those items would be so cute to wear on the first day!!

In the photos below i’m wearing a BP cardigan, this striped dress, and paired it with some gold wedges (almost sold out, similar here). I’m in love with the striped dress and think it would be perfect for school! Since it does have spaghetti straps, I added a cardigan to make it dress-code appropriate, and because I’m always cold (especially in classrooms). It’s still fairly warm in Seattle, so I will be wearing wedges as much as I can until the weather gets colder. If it were cold already, I would pair this outfit with some booties.

Thank you so much for reading!
Much love,

I’m always buying new dresses, but I have a hard time purchasing handbags and shoes. Once I find a purse that I absolutely love, I have a tendency to re-wear it all the time and neglect all of the other purses that I have. This summer I have been loving pink bags of all shapes and sizes!

Today I am sharing some adorable handbags that are all affordable and so cute. While I love buying trendy bags, the super trendy ones never stay in style for too long – so I hate spending lots of money on them! All of the options below have great prices.

Thanks so much for reading!
