Man I wish I was in college again!
I had a fun time in college but also somehow managed to get all A’s. I think I would just binge study every night before a test and have it all memorized but then if you asked me something the next day I would have NO IDEA. Anyone with me on this?
I lived in Arlington during college and my friends and I would drive into Dallas every night from Thursday-Sunday. It wore me out & by the age of 25 I was already a homebody!
Being fashionable at school wasn’t always on my mind. I mostly just wanted to be chill and comfortable when it came to clothes in college. I remember how much fun it was every summer shopping for ‘back to school’ items. I would usually go with my mom (hoping she would buy me something hehe!)
I also remember never having enough basics once school started. I would grab tons of the trendier pieces but then I was always low on denim and tees.
I am teaming up with PacSun today to talk Back to School and how to stock up on basics before school starts back up!
PacSun Basics
PacSun Denim:
I have always loved shopping at PacSun. I came from a small East Texas town and PacSun was one of our favorite stores to visit. They always have the best collection of denim!
They have an amazing denim collection and a huge array of denim shorts right now. I grabbed this super stretch pair that just happens to be buy one get one have off today! Definitely grab a pair. You will wear them all summer long.
Here are some PacSun denim pieces I am loving right now for buy one get one have off:
*models are 5’9 for length reference
Make sure to add these dates to your calendar:
PacSun denim is my favorite thing to shop in the store so you will not want to miss this launch!!
Tops:
I LOVE wearing basic tees. I especially loved them during school. They are definitely the most comfortable thing to wear when you are sitting at a desk all day.
PacSun has a great collection of both graphic & basic tees. I grabbed this striped tee because 1. you guys know how much I love my stripes and 2. it’s super cute. I will be wearing this tee so much this summer! I am already thinking of pairing it with a red bandana for the Fourth of July!
I love graphic tees because they are a great conversation starter! Wearing a graphic tee is actually a great way to meet new people!
You can grab most of their graphic tees for only $30. Here is a selection of my favs:
Now is the time to start stocking up on your basic tees. If you start grabbing your favorites now, you will have an amazing assortment by the time school starts again.
Here are my favorite basic tees from PacSun:
And since we are stocking up on tops, make sure to also check out PacSun’s full collection! Here are some of my favs:
Shoes & Accessories:
Alright, now you should be all ready to go on tops and denim. Complete your look with some of PacSun’s shoes and accessories!
The sandals I am wearing here are so insanely comfortable. I feel like I am walking on a cloud. They also come in black.
How fun are my sunglasses? They are seriously my new favorite pair right now!!
I also want this necklace set in a million different designs. I love that they are all attached but all so different! I hope chokers stay in style for a long time.
Hopefully you are completely stocked up on all of your basics now, so that when school rolls around you will be ready to go! All of these items can be worn throughout the summer as well, so you don’t have to wait to pull them out!
