It sounds crazy, but the first day of school in Columbia is only one month away! Where in the world has the time gone? Yes, the thought of summer ending is a major bummer. However, on the flip side, now’s the time to indulge in a little back to school shopping! I know finances can get tight when factoring in a new semester’s worth of tuition, books, and living expenses. For most of us (myself included), versatility and affordability are the names of the game. So, I went to Kohl’s to pull together some cute outfit ideas for school that won’t break the bank, and I’m sharing all of my top Kohl’s picks with y’all in today’s post!

1. Candie’s Knot-Front Tee and SO Ultimate Low-Rise Jeggings

When it comes to casual college outfits, these black SO Ultimate Low-Rise Jeggings are the ultimate back-to-school staple. They’re as stylish as they are comfortable, and they come in six different colors. I’m partial to black, though, because it hide stains, is naturally slimming, and can be worn with virtually anything. This Candie’s Knotted Top is another one of my favorite fall finds. The knot-front detail gives it a (literal) trendy twist, and “Magical Whisper” may officially be my new favorite shade of pink. If you’re not a blush fan, this top also comes in six other colors.

2. SO Utility Shirtdress

When I think of fall, I think of olive green. I don’t know why, but it’s always been one of my favorite fall hues. That may explain why I was immediately drawn to the SO Utility Shirtdress. I love shirtdresses because they can be easily dressed up with heels or wedges or down with boots or flats. Plus, the SO Utility Shirtdress is super soft. It feels like you’re wearing pajamas but looks chic and well put-together. If green isn’t your favorite, it’s available in Black Plaid, Manga Purple, and a gorgeous Muted Plum, too.

3. SO Chambray Button Down Shirt and SO High Rise Cuffed Jean Shorts

Chambray will literally never go out of style, so a classic chambray button down like this one is always a smart piece to invest in. It can be worn tucked in, tied in front, layered unbuttoned over a camisole, layered buttoned under a sweater, tied around your waist– and the list goes on. Another one of my favorite Kohl’s finds are these SO High Rise Cuffed Jean Shorts. As much as I’d love to throw on blanket scarfs and riding boots at the start of the semester, it’s way too hot to do it comfortably. Picking up a versatile pair of shorts like these will go a long way!
