Back to School, Back to Making a Statement

It doesn’t matter if you’re a parent or a student — once August rolls back around, back to school time is always the ideal time to try to freshen your image with the latest styles and trends.

 

After all, who wouldn’t want to return to the classroom or PTSA meeting looking clean, put together, and ultimately up to date? Now that’s how you make a back to school impression!

 

We want to help you achieve that level of sophistication and style. So, to complete your post-summer-break look, all you need to know is how to accessorize! Simply grab that new notebook and take some notes on the following trends:

  1. Preppy with Pearls

Nothing says “classy” quite like pearls — and this season, it’s all about the statement integration of these timeless treasures. Going for a classic look? A simple pearl necklace is ageless. Trying to go out of the box a little bit? Large hoops or gold rings studded with a shining pearl is the perfect go-to.

Another upside to these pieces is that they go with practically everything. Their pure white aesthetic will make mixing and matching a breeze, while their minimalist appearance makes it easy to dress up or down any outfit.

  1. Trendy and Edgy

Did someone say Flashback Friday? Because the 90s are back, baby! Bold necklaces with letters are the perfect way to visually announce your arrival, while anklets and chokers also make for a playful yet streamlined finishing touch.

Oh, and don’t forget your charm bracelets — matching gold or diamond charms between mother and daughter are the perfect way to keep your love at hand until the post-school family movie night begins. Otherwise, they also make for the perfect layered bracelet and provide the opportunity to show your personality from the moment the first bell rings.

  1. Academic and Artsy

Sunshine, flowers, and shells … oh my! This academic year, it’s all about a pop of fun. Bring attention to your neckline or jawline with some dangling sun-shaped earrings — or at least a dark citrine or topaz stud that is reminiscent of solar radiance.

And who says the beauty and joy of spring has to end with a return to the classroom? Floral accessories are an easy way to ensure your outfit is as lively as your personality, and shell-shaped earrings and rings will guarantee that your summer smile will follow wherever you go.
