I’m also headed off to college next fall. I’ll share some of the items on my college shopping wishlist with you guys…sorry it runs kind of long:

-Casual but elegant dresses (for warmer days–Forever21, Charlotte Russe, and the dept stores are good sources for these–think floral, zip-up, or colorblock)

-Gladiator sandals and/or heels (don’t forget nail polish!)

-Dark wash jeans (skinny and boot cut)

-Basic white T’s and colorful tanks for blah days

-Basic denim and khaki shorts (not Bermuda shorts) and capri or boyfriend pants

-Cute lounge wear (think Victoria’s Secret sweatpants, or a sweatshirt from your college student store)

-Black or gray or beige blazer (for chillier days). A typical classy black or dark Northface jacket would work as well.

-Sperries and/or Keds for comfortable yet stylish footwear

These are obviously the more fashionista-ist items; I think the more practical stuff has been covered quite nicely by previous posts.
