Hi Ladies!! Welcome Back to Hawk Hill! Whether you are a freshman starting your first day or a senior dreading your last, a cute first day of school outfit is a must! Here, I have rounded up a few affordable pieces to match with things you most likely already have in your closet. With these ideas you can create a look that is perfect for making a good first impression! 

 

  1. Tees, Tees, Tees! Graphic shirts are a cute way to spice up a pair of jeans or a jean skirt! Pair with cute patterned slip ons or slides and fun hoop earrings to complete your look.

2. Cotton Dresses! Nothing beats the heat like a cotton dress. Especially on Hawk Hill, where the hills can be ~brutal~ in the heat, you want to stay cool! Pair with a hair scarf for some extra color and your comfiest sandals.

3. Slides! Speaking of comfy shoes, slides are a must! Whether they have a comfy heel or cute design, slides are a must for a outfit. Bonus- they are a great shoe transition from summer to fall.
