As many of you already may know, I recently graduated from college this past June. It’s crazy to me to think that this is the first year that August won’t mean “back to school” for me. However, in a way it still does, as I know I have lots of readers and followers of the blog that are still in high school/college, and I can’t give up on styling back to school outfits just yet. (It’s too much fun!)
Growing up, I learned to love the month of August for one reason – back to school shopping. While others were upset about heading back to school, I was excited because I knew that my lovely mother would be taking me to the mall to prepare for a new year, which meant new clothes. I remember inviting my girlfriend’s over after a long day at the mall and having them help me pick out all my outfits for the first week back. We would even rank our favorites…it was serious business. 😂
This August, I’ve partnered with Kohl’s and their SO line to show my readers some of my favorite back to school pieces. What I love about the items that I picked out are how versatile they are, and how all the pieces can be mix-matched and worn a dozen different ways. My favorite part of this partnership is that Kohl’s is running an offer from 08/2-08/18, where you can earn $10 off every $50 you spend on Back to School purchases; and can be used on all SO apparel [MOU1] (including the pieces I mention and show in this post!)
Now let’s dive into the outfit!
When I was back to school shopping with my mom back in the day, the biggest factor to me was comfort. Don’t get me wrong – I wanted to look cute – but also wanted to be comfortable knowing that I would be sitting in a desk all day at school. I kept that comfortability factor in mind when I went shopping at Kohl’s for this post, as I know a lot of you can relate.
The Mid-rise charcoal joggers you see in this outfit were the piece that I built my entire look around. I loved how soft they were, and how they look extra stylish but feel like you are wearing pajama pants. I pictured myself wearing these to class, but also lounging around in them back at home when studying for a test or completing some homework.
To complement the joggers, I picked up a super-soft white tank top. I loved the ribbed detail on this tank and knew that I would get so much use of out of it, either on its own or as a layering piece.
To complete the outfit, I picked up a pair of white slip-on sandals. I especially loved these shoes because of how easy they are to wear, and how they don’t rub on my feet/require “breaking in” (that was always the WORST with back to school shoes!)
All in all, I love this outfit and the SO pieces I found at Kohl’s for back to school. If you did too, make sure to head over to Kohl’s, whether online or in-person and snag some back to school pieces for yourself with the discount they are offering. All of the items that I featured in this post are still in stock, too!
Thank you again to Kohl’s for sponsoring this post!
