Hey, y'all!

I recently found out that I've been accepted to transfer to the university I applied to and will be returning to school this fall. I'm still in my 20's so I'm not all that much older than the majority of students, but I still feel that, as someone who dropped out once and has gained some life experience, I should approach everything more professionally. I consider this opportunity more of a job training experience than anything because I already did the whole "go to college and figure yourself out" thing and all I need is a diploma. So one of the things I want to do is dress well. I want to do better than the jeans and a t-shirt every day style I had when I was a teenage student. I want to step it up and go mostly smart casual (I figure that's a happy balance between dressing well and blending in).

What I need from all you wonderful people are ideas. Anything. Give me lists of essentials, give me Pinterest boards, give me pointers on finding a good balance. Absolutely anything you have. I'm all ears!
