Back To School: Preppy

Jumper - H&M || Shirt - Gilly Hicks || Skirt - H&M || Shoes - Topshop || Backpack - New Look

I can't quite believe it's September already and school should be starting this week, at least in London anyway, I'm at university now so I have a little longer until I start but for those of you who are starting this week I thought I'd give a little inspiration for your school outfit. I had school uniform until I reached sixth form but for those 2 years I was stuck on what to wear every day! I'm making this week a "back to school" week on my blog so hopefully it will be helpful for those of you starting now.

Today's look is a preppy one, I took some inspiration from shows like Gossip Girl to create a sophisticated girly look which I think emulates their staple style. Although my mum complained about my skirt being too short saying I'd be sent home from school (so true, especially in the school I went to) and my boyfriend complained about my necklace saying I'd never wear it to school - possibly also true - but nonetheless I think this is such a cute look for those willing to try it out.

I bought this backpack for a holiday I'm going on later on this week as I think it will be far more practical and it suited back to school perfectly. I love that there are some really cute backpacks out at the moment, so stylish and they won't give you a back ache from all those school books! Shirt and jumper combos just remind me of school so much and I wore a skirt to go along with it. I initially tucked in my tops but then opted to have it out instead and show the layering, which also led to a creased jumper - sorry!

Are you going back to school this week? What will you be wearing?
