We’re not quite sure how it happened, but it’s already back-to-school season. As sad as we are to bid our farewell to summer, the new school year is a great time to start fresh – even in terms of fashion. When it comes to shopping for back-to-school clothing, investing in wardrobe staples for the upcoming season is the first step. Since most students work within a tight budget, having a great foundation of staples is key in order to create all kinds of outfits with less shopping (spending) involved.
