Happy first week of back to school! I am happy to be a graduate right now, haha! In order words, I do not miss the early classes or the crazy note-taking?! On the bright side, classes have shifted to online now. Let me know your thoughts on virtual university, are you for it or against it?
Let’s jump right in. I wanted to hop on here and share three different outfits that are budget-friendly, especially how expensive college. This way, you can get a whole new wardrobe without breaking the bank! This year, I decided to partner up with Rue21 for affordable outfits!

The “Straight A” Student

I remember my first day of school as a freshman. I was top 5 and top 10% in my class — dress for success, right?! Haha, no one ever warn you on how different college is! As an upperclassmen, rarely do you dress up for the first day. Well, actually I didn’t even show up to the first day as a junior or a senior! Oops?
