JCPenney Back to School Giveaway



 

 
top, pants, & shoes: c/o jcpenny, UO sunglasses, steve madden bag {similar}

When it comes to back to school wear, there are a few key elements I like to incorporate - most importantly, I like to feel comfortable and confident.This look is definitely something I think is great for a first day back; it's chic and comfortable. I love these green pants paired with the back and white stripes. The long pants are essential because classrooms always seem to be freezing during the warmer months. This bag is perfect too; it's large enough for a notebook and a laptop (cause let's be honest, no one has their books the first day of school). 

It would be an understatement to say my style has evolved since grade school. I wish I had a photo to share with you all of me back in the day - I promise you would laugh. Back during the good ole school days I was content with jeans and a top (usually a tee, turtle neck, or sweater) nothing crazy - it was rare for me to wear dresses or skirts. While I still cling to simplistic looks, they are definitely a bit more flattering, pulled together, and up-to-date now that I'm in my 20's. 

On to the giveaway - JCPenney is ready to give you all another opportunity for a $50 giftcard for all your back to school fashion needs! Maybe you need a large tote bag for your books and computer, maybe you need a new pair of jeans, or maybe you need some new shoes - whatever it is, this giftcard will help you out!
