HUSTLE AND HACK
Back to School Basics
by Addie Rock
Hey there readers! Welcome back to Hustle and Hack. This month, we’ll be discussing back to school basics. That time of year has come where summer is over, and homework has begun. This year, I’ll be a senior in high school, which felt like it would never come! It’s crazy how fast time has flown by, and soon I’ll be saying that about college! What?!
Since this is a fashion and lifestyle column, so we’re going to lay out the essentials for back to school outfits, skincare, and supplies
1. Converse - Converse are a must, and I’ve owned a pair ever since freshman year. They go with any look and are so sturdy!
2. A Backup Outfit - In my experience, you’re not going to have everything planned out all the time in high school, and things can get a little hectic or stressful. To make some days a little easier, have a backup outfit ready, so you never have to spend a half hour sitting in front of your closet feeling like you have nothing to wear.
A cute, simple top paired with either leggings or your favorite jeans, plus some sandals make for a great to-go look!
3. A Cross-Body Purse - A bag is essential for any senior in high school, simply because we don’t have as many things to carry around, but we always need to have the basics. I’m taking two core classes this year, so I rarely need to take anything, which is perfect! There’s no reason to invest in a backpack because I can just use a cross-body purse.
