#MMbacktoschoolstyle

Can y'all believe another school year is almost here?? I feel like I say it every year but this summer has seriously flown by. As a kid I always wished fall weather would start when school began so I could wear my cute new jeans, boots and sweaters. Unfortunately, the South is usually frustratingly hot and muggy until October (#firstworldprobs). So what's a fashionable Modern Magnolia to do?? Well no worries y'all, we're here to help! We put together a  few no-brainer outfit combos to wear during those first few hot weeks of the semester!

1. Chinos + 3/4 Sleeved Striped Tee
Outfit details here
J. Crew Chinos get my vote as the best shorts of all time. They come in just about any color you could want and are very comfortable while still looking put-together. Crisp chinos look great paired with a three-quarter length striped tee (a wardrobe staple!). The 3/4 sleeve keeps you warm in overly air-conditioned classrooms but will still be cool enough to wear traipsing to classes across campus- perfect for late-summer/early-fall weather.

2. Sleeveless shirtdress + Simple Sandals
Outfit details here
Sometimes it's just too hot for pants y’all. On those days a dress is my go-to outfit choice! A sleeveless shirtdress is breezy and ladylike at the same time, but best of all it makes you look like you put a lot of thought into your appearance. I know I feel much more focused and prepared when I make the effort to get dressed in the morning! I can't imagine getting very much out of class when I look like I just rolled out of the bed! A swingy dress is just as comfortable as a t-shirt and running shorts and looks so much more polished! Pair with a comfy pair of sandals and you're good to go!

3. Cotton tee + A-Line Skirt
Outfit details here
Pink and navy is one of my all-time favorite color combinations- it's the perfect mix of girly simplicity. A solid color skirt is a must-have item that can be paired with pretty much any top you own! I love pairing my navy skirt with solid t-shirts for an easy yet cute look. Throw on your Jacks and you've got the perfect outfit to get you through a long day on campus!

Post a picture of YOUR spin on our first day looks to Instagram with the hashtag #MMbacktoschoolstyle - can't wait to see how you style them! Hope y'all have a fabulous start to your semester!
