    Bitty dots

    A sheer shirt with a cute print like polka dots is pretty and fun. Plus, you can wear it with shorts through the rest of the sweltering summer or into fall with jeans and flats.

     

    Ruffled Polka Dot Shirt, $20, forever21.com

  • 2sequins.jpg

    Stunning sequins

    There’s nothing more glam than pale sequins for daytime. Pair this sleeveless sweater with denim shorts for a casual look now, and layer it over a button-down later.

     

    Sequin Knit Top, $17, forever21.com

  • 3cami.jpg

    Lush lace

    A lace cami in a bright, fun color is perfect for underneath a buttoned up shirt or cardigan. It’ll just barely peek through and look super pretty with any outfit.

     

    Vintage Lace Cami, $20, aerie.com

  • 4rings.jpg

    Gold rush

    Dainty, sparkly rings are an easy addition to a school day getup. A few rings stacked on the same finger are super chic.

     

    Sugar Stack Ring, $18, francescascollection.com

  • 5dress.jpg

    Fire coral

    A dress in a pretty color and a flattering fit is a definite wardrobe essential. Plus, a cinched waist looks amazing on every body type. If you’re lacking some curves, it will give you more shape. A dress like this is great for the rest of your summer but can also be worn into the fall by rocking it with a sweater and boots.

     

    Juniors Sleeveless Dress, $25, target.com

  • 6skirt.jpg

    Long layers

    High-low skirts are super trendy right now. It’s the perfect way to show off a little leg—but not too much!

     

    Pleated High-Low Skirt, $20, forever21.com

  • 7shoes.jpg

    Sparkle step

    A pair of glittery ballet flats is more universal than you’d think. They go with practically everything, and you can wear them pretty much all year round.

     

    Shea Glitter Ballet Flats in Gold, $20, target.com

  • 8peplum.jpg

    Presh peplum

    Peplum tops are so sweet and feminine. But the best part? They’re flattering on everyone. If you’re curvy, it will draw eyes away from your tummy and down to the pretty ruffle. If you’re on the thinner side, it will give you more of a shape. Love this with a basic blazer and your favorite jeans come fall.

     

    Chiffon Peplum Tank in Black, $20, urbanoutfitters.com

  • 9jeans.jpg

    Totally teal

    Colored skinnies are an easy way to bring some major color into your wardrobe. Wear them now with breezy tank tops and later with long-sleeved shirts and printed scarves.

     

    Twill Skinny Pants in Green, $16, forever21.com

  • 10charm.jpg

    Charmed life

    A pretty necklace with multiple chains looks so luxe on your neck against your amazing summer tan. One with sparkly charms is equal parts glam and sweetly simple.

     

    Dainty Charm Necklace Set, $15, alloy.com

I'm starting my first year of high school, and at the school that I'm going to we have to wear a photo i.d at all times, we are allowed to wear whatever lanyards we like, I have on lanyard but would like a lot more to differ my style. I have checked Claire's and Hot Topic, any other ideas for stores to check out?

MOD! MOD! MOD! MOD! MOD!
Tomorrow is my first day of high school. I'll be a freshman. I course I want to make a good impression and look good tomorrow but my school has a dress code, not to strict but, we have to have collared shirts, they have to have sleeves, they can be any color or design (just no profanity of course), our pants have to be at least finger tip, and shoes can be any kind other than flip flops with the holes in the bottom. I have no Idea what to wet tomorrow, I wanna look cute but I'm kind of a Tomboy. My back pack is bright yellow if that helps at all. Thanks so much for reading.
