Feeling a little nostalgic today as the kids head back to school?  I don’t have children, but I certainly miss “back to school” shopping each summer!  And there’s no reason why we can’t update our own wardrobes with items sure to make the grade.  My shopping list always included items to mix and match: new kicks (sneakers for gym class and a pair for “fun”), a few pairs of slacks and denim, at least one cozy sweater and a snazzy bookbag; below you’ll find looks for the diva who’s still schoolin’ life.
