Fashionwidget’s MailBox: Head Back to School in Style – Top 10 Style Picks
Following a brief hiatus, it was heartwarming to check the Fashionwidget inbox and find questions, feedback and best wishes pouring in from our readers. Thank you. Over the course of the next few weeks, I have decided to blog about the most popular topics requested by you, our loyal readers.
~Fashionwidget
Today’s topic: Stylish back to school essentials.
1. A classic t-shirt (long sleeves will help a smooth transition into Fall/Autumn in style)
MANGO Cotton Essential T-Shirt – $20 – mango.com
2. Straight Leg Jeans. Nothing against “skinny jeans” but let’s face it, they have been trending for the past six to eight seasons (tick-tock) and they do not exactly look flattering on everybody. If you’re feeling the need to give in to the current neon skinny denim trend, you’ll stand out more if you opt for neon accessories instead. Invest in a pair of stretchy straight leg jeans, they look great with sneakers, boots or heels and be sure to pick one in a dark colour for that extra slimming benefit. √+
Gap Cycle Jean Dark Wash – $40 – gap.com
3. A nice comfortable bra. You do have to splurge if you are looking for comfort, support and quite frankly, seamless wonders. The Super Soft Contour Bra from Fine Lines boasts memory foam concealed wire that surround for no digging or pinching, finely brushed fabric and 3D hemmed cups for ultimate comfort and no ridge on the neckline and luxurious suede fabric with plush mould and memory foam wire surround for ultimate comfort, available at Lord and Taylor.
Fine Lines Supersoft Contour Bra # So011 – $48 – lordandtaylor.com
Aerie Harper Memory Lift Pushup Bra – $27 – ae.com
4. A comfortable light-weight jacket. Again, you should be thinking about the change of seasons as the summer of 2012 comes to a close. You want to pick a jacket that is functional, stylish and blends well with the rest of your wardrobe.
Varsity Hooded Jacket – $40 – delias.com

5. Sportswear.
Neiman Marcus Python-Trim Tracksuit – $69 – neimanmarcus.com
6. A durable book bag. I prefer backpacks (High School or University) books are heavy so you want to make sure you’re ready to carry them in style and comfort. Obviously, a lot has changed since my school days but I’m still a backpacker when I travel so I know there are some pretty amazing advanced styles out there.

Sidewalk Style: Casual Wednesday with Rachel Weisz Outside ‘The Daily Show with Jon Stewart’ in New York City
SIDEWALK STYLE
Rachel Weisz in NYC
525 America Grey Scoop Neck Crop Dolman Sweater - $64 - bluefly.com
Kaliko Silver tie front - $86 (£55) - houseoffraser.co.uk
Victoria Beckham Denim Twist skinny jeans - $395 - net-a-porter.com
Benji Grey Shoe Boot - $90 - missselfridge.com
Only a woman who is comfortable enough in her own skin would be bold enough to mix so many shades of grey/gray as Ms. Weisz has done here and step out in public putting her best foot forward. Initially, I was not into the look but after staring at the pictures for a while I got inspired to create my own style substitutes as seen above (thank to Polyvore) and I also think that she managed to pull off the look.
