Back to School Style with the Ageless Style Link Up

What is back to school style? I guess with the end of summer approaching and the temperatures not as hot, I start reaching for the same items as other summers past! Today’s back to school outfit starts with 2 pieces I wore last year in the back to school ageless style post here! These wide leg jeans from Loft are fun as they allow air flow and create a different silhouette. The large tote, I enjoy using this time of the year as children start sports and I can carry a water bottle, a book and a notebook in addition to what I would usually have in my purse.

I thankfully have adapted to the 6:30 am bus time and do not have to bring my two youngest to school. The middle school/high school bus is not known for its well behaved children so I prefer my 11 year old not to ride it. I drop him and a neighbor off as well as my high schooler.

Hopefully before the end of the school year, my oldest will have a car and a part time job and can maybe take over the morning drop off.

Now to my outfit: as I mentioned, the jeans are last year’s and the fun sneakers a find on spring break vacation. The lug sole and kakhi color are fun and very versatile. I picked up this cute little top at TJmaxx a couple months ago on the clearance rack. Nothing like planning a couple small vacations to me me want to pick up a few things. At $10 and with such a pretty print, I knew this halter top was coming home with me as soon I had put it on.

I am really hoping to establish a great routine for myself while the boys are all at school. I would love this routine to daily include:

  • spiritual reading and prayer
  • exercise (weights the days I am not running)
  • blog work
  • a weekly get together with a friend
  • improve my house cleaning routine
  • weekly snack making (once or twice)
  • some relaxing time

Haircut and color came after these pictures. We are celebrating 20 years this year with a trip sans children and my brother is also having his wedding in Jacksonville in September. A pedicure will be in order! I am excited for both occasions. Adult time is something I miss as a mom!

Depending on when I plan to work with my weights, I will be either wearing workout clothes or a cute outfit such as this one on my morning school drops. Even if I spend most of the day on my own, I really enjoy creating cute outfits from my closet. Makes me feel more productive!

Don’t forget to see how the other ladies from the Ageless Style group are styling for their back to school looks!
