Back to School Fashion – Nevada Sagebrush

When you think about going back to school, you think about the upcoming schoolwork, the curriculum, meeting new friends, and the stress behind your daily routine. When the first week of school begins, before we arrive on campus, we have to choose a style from our closet.

Whether the outfit is big name or simple in nature, below is a collection of my favorite outfits that my students wear.
