The other day on a walk, Kevin and I ran into a graduate that I just love. She’s heading off to college this August as many new freshman university students are, therefore it prompted this wistful, nostalgic post.
If I was going off to college, and if I had some money to splurge on back to school basics, I’d start at Free People with these items:
- It all centers around the shoes. I love them! I first saw them on Ascot Friday (this post shows them best), and I haven’t stopped daydreaming about them since.
- Two pairs of pants would definitely be needed. Obviously jeans are a staple. I started with a darker pair so that use fades them. Black pants are also a necessity–the fringe on these adds the perfect funk.
- The chosen dress poses as a baby doll for fall but once the air changes it could be styled as a shirt. A type of poncho/kimono trend is happening at the moment. I love all the colors in this one, and of course, it’s paisley!
- A college student needs a hefty bag. This fringed boho would do the trick. Mirrored sunnies offer both style and a bit of anonymity. The necklace has enough baubles to always match something.
- For the dorm room, two items were found to add a little intrigue: Tarot cards to become the designated fortune teller and a dream catcher to filter in only good dreams.
What would you choose for college from Free People? When you join this site, you can easily make collections similar to the one I made for College Bound. My username is krembdelakremb if you’d like to follow me there and make more collections with me.
