Red the thoughts of a teenage fashion addict .

It's that time again when students are getting ready for school and some even already in classes. The fun part of starting school is that we can use back-to-school shopping as an excuse to buy some new cute clothes.

On a personal note, I'm starting college today (yay!) and it's been a long time since I've actually been in school. I didn't go to a high school so I was basically home schooled and studying by myself, so I'm nervous, yet very excited, about going to school and second about starting college. So being nervous and all, wouldn't it be normal for a girl to be worried about what to wear on the first day?

The girls on Gossip Girl may have
uniforms, but they're anything but
boring. With their cute accessories,
each girl shows her own style. How
I wish more schools had a dress code
like this!
When I think of school fashion, especially high school fashion, I picture tons of t-shirts matched with jeans and flip flops. This is a school trend that I don't want to go with anymore, no no. That is so over for me! That's why school uniforms and dress codes (if they are nice) can be good because everybody is forced to look presentable. Like in Gossip Girl, although they have a school uniform, each girl interprets her own style through accessories and the way they dress, so really no one looks the same and it's not boring.

I may not be the most fashionable person and my goal isn't to compete with other girls, but I definitely want to stay as chic as I possibly can be in college. I remember in middle school and high school it was so hard to dress nice and there was a lot of peer pressure that made it even harder, but not anymore. I won't let that make me dress like someone I'm not.

So... what should I wear today?
