We’re not quite sure how it happened, but it’s already back-to-school season. And as sad as we are to give our farewell to summer, September is a great time to start fresh – even in terms of our fashion. When it comes to shopping for back-to-school clothing, investing in wardrobe staples for the upcoming season is the first step. After all, most students are working within a budget, so having a good foundation of staples allows for creating all kinds of outfits, with less shopping (spending) involved.
