Back to school might seem like it is forever away but it is never to early to start building up your UVA-chic wardrobe.
1. White converse/keds/vans
2. Monogram
You’ll be wishing that your mom would have sewn your name into your underwear once you see the abundance of monogrammed backpacks, necklaces, and earrings
3. T-shirts that are five times too big
If the shirt isn’t at least down to knee length, is it really big enough?
4. Norts
Norts should not be visible underneath your tshirt. Remember, it is a tasteful balance between “I look like I slept in this” and “I work out?”
5. Lily Pulitzer
Time to spend four times the money on a dress that probably matches the pattern on your grandma’s couch that she covered in plastic.
6. Vests
For those days when you don’t feel like keeping your arms warm, opt in for the vest. #vestlifeisthebestlife
The vest can be combined with a short sleeve t-shirt if you can’t decide if it is warm or cold or if you don’t care about being entirely impractical.
7. Chacos
Combine with fanny pack to be extra fashionable.
8. Birkenstocks
#TBT to roman times
9. Longchamp Purses
Essentially, this handbag is just a giant, over-priced sack for you to throw everything you own into; the bigger the bag, the more it functions as a black hole into which everything you own can fit.
10. Patagonia
Keeping with the same theme of the Lily dresses, the uglier the pattern, the better.
11. Riding boots
For when you need to take your horse to class.
