For me, college was when I really started to develop my sense of style and started creating a wardrobe for myself that would last beyond just those 4 years.
So, you might be wondering: what kind of things should you pack, what will other girls be wearing, and what are the must haves?
Must Have #1:
JEANS
and lot’s of them!
Express has a Buy 1, Get 1 $29.90 right now, so I would suggest starting there. Like, NOW!
Grab a few of your fave colors and don’t be afraid of the bright ones. The denim trend is still hot and will be for quite some time! Fashion designers and retailers are “all in” with this trend, so stock your drawers!

A Bag that Holds EVERYTHING
You’ll have your hands full in college, make sure you find a bag big enough to hold it all. You don’t have to use a back pack – large, oversized hand bags work too and they add instant style to any outfit!
I’m loving stripes right now! This striped bag from Forever 21 is perfect for all your things!
