I started with my go-to look, stripes and a pair of classic Gap jeans, and added a few items that I can’t get through the school year without! A jacket or coat that can get you through the Autumn months I love when I can layer sweaters and scarves under a jacket for extra warmth. This one allows me to do just that!
