Hi y'all!  It's Jennifer here, from Sally Jane Vintage, filling in for Starr while she's on her adventure in NYC.

When Starr asked me to do a guest blog for her, she suggested I might do a back-to-school themed post since it is, after all, that time of year.  My first thought was that it has been, ahem, a number of years since I've done anything back-to-school related.  ;)  But I don't think we ever forget that unique mixture of excitement and dread that the first day of class brings.   For me, the first day of class conjures images of corduroy jumpers, new pencils and fresh notebooks.  All things I still hold dear to my heart!

I've been holding on to this 70s camel corduroy jumper for quite some time, trying to find just the occasion on which to wear it.  Putting it on always makes me feel a bit too school-girlish so I knew this would be just the opportunity I needed to finally pull it out of the closet.  With my vintage satchel standing in for a backpack, I feel like I'm ready for the first bell.  Now, if only my satchel was filled with new pencils and fresh notebooks!

Thanks so much for letting me steal your blog for the day Starr!  I hope you're having a blast in the Big Apple!

There are so many things to love here, I daren't even begin to name them. That said, I love the boots, that satchel (!!!!) and the all-over look you're rocking. Apple for the teacher, A+. Plus.

What a wonderful bag! And I think there is something about the first day of school...you always put in that tiny little extra bit of effort.
