5 back-to-school musts under $35

Hittin’ the mall this weekend? Here’s what to stock up on before it’s time to head back to the books.

A sharp blazer
We dig how this jaunty jacket takes a summer staple (stripes!) and puts an awesome autumn spin on it (check out those deep hues). Mix ‘n’ match it with floral dresses for a cool, eclectic look or pair it with high-waisted jeans and a blouse for something a li’l more tailored.

Plaid shorts
Tailored shorts are major this season and getting a pair that’s decked in checks doubles the trend factor...in a good way. A slouchy sweatshirt keeps it from looking too uptight.

So-you gems
When there are so many items to snag for school, jewelry can take a backseat. But we love the idea of scooping up a signature piece, especially if it reminds you of your summer escapades.

Booties galore
Maybe you’re into cute mocs or ankle boots with cutouts or rad desert boots. No matter what your style a pair of go-with-anything ankle boots is key for fall. As comfy as sneakers, but way more stylish.

A clever tote
Sure backpacks are super hot right now, but how can you pass by a toter that’ll help you keep your endless piles of papers together?  Nearly impossible.
