Swag
Tip #1 A Simple Black Scarf
A simple black scarf is agreat way to stay warm and add some style. Infinity scarves are fun and affordable.
These scarves are a nofuss style addition. Youcan find infinity scarveseverywhere includingWal-Mart and Target.
Nothing says classy yetcomfortable like a scarf,so snuggle up!
Tip #2Add a tie, or even
cuter, a bow tie.
Boys can go the prep route by adding a black tie to the uniform equation. This is a solidand classic look thatnever goes out of style.
The bow tie look makesthe bold statement, "I'm all about my business and ready for class,yet totally cool."
Tip #3
Minimal Makeup
Ladies: A thin coatof mascara andneutral colored eyeshadow is a great way to add a little color to yourlook while still looking like apresentable scholar.
Hair
Let's talk hair. While we cannot dye our hair, we can always style it as long as it's not too crazy.
6th grader, Craig Brown,is known for his awesomehair! Right, ladies?
Tip #4 Add a Black Blazer
Ladies and Gentlemen: Thistip is our favorite! Add anintelligent flare to your uniform by adding a simple black fitted blazer and top off your scholarlylook. You can even thrift these jackets and find them in mint condition.
