Your Back-to-School Mantra is...

It might not be the first day of school (yet!), but that doesn't mean it's too early to think about crushing the year ahead. Maybe it's a schedule set for success, an adorably aesthetic slate of outfits or a newfound outgoing energy to expand your crew. Maybe it's all of the above. Whatever it is, set an intention and start envisioning it. Because this is the school year you're actually going to go for it.

YOUR MANTRA
CHANGE UP YOUR LOOK

So you've been sporting the same long bob since fifth grade. Or you're ready to add some edge to your outfits. Summer is the perfect time to start playing around with different looks to see what truly suits you.

Want to break out of the sea of crop tops and boyfriend jeans? Scour Depop to snag that vintage jumpsuit you've been coveting. Ready for a serious snip? Search Pinterest for the perfect fall cut inspo. Coveting Tay's Eras Tour red lip? Hit up the makeup floor of your fave department store and test out some different products and palettes. See what works-and what doesn't.

By the time school rolls around, you'll be confident in your new look. Bonus: You'll have plenty of flawless outfits test-driven and ready to rock.

YOUR MANTRA
GET MORE INVOLVED

You love the idea of taking on a leadership role at school. Only problem? You've never done anything like it before. That's why you'll want to use the summer to expand your experience and your social circle.
