Hi! My name is Emma, a sophomore at Bucknell University in Lewisburg, Pennsylvania and author of The Daily Dil-emma, a daily lifestyles blog about livin’ the college life. Thanks so much, Madeleine, for letting me guest post today! Going back to school, it’s always fun to go shopping with the hopes of finding the perfect wardrobe that will result in a flawless year (yet inevitably turns into athletic shorts and tee shirts 2 weeks in). During my quest at J.Crew the other day to find a pair of pants (which I came out of the store with a bag full of everything but the pants) I stumbled upon this sweater. I don’t know what really drew me to it, but I absolutely love it. Not only is it a classic piece- gotta love stripes- but it’s super soft, and has a really cool zipper design.
The funny thing is, where I go to school the winter was so harsh last year that all I did was dream of warm weather and now that it’s fall I can’t wait to break out the sweaters and vests. Here are two ways to take a classic top from syllabus week to Thanksgiving break.

Top: J.Crew
Shorts: Alice + Olivia (got them on sale at a thrift shop!)

Early Fall

Thanks for reading and hope you have a great start to the school year!
