Journal-World Teen Advisory Board members gathered Saturday to talk about what they’d be wearing to school this fall. They accumulated 39 ideas for back-to-school shoppers, but here are two thoughts to keep in mind:

What follows are some fun things to add to your wardrobe if you’re getting bored with what you have, but this isn’t a “taste test”: You don’t need to follow trends to fit in at school.

Also, if you do find a poncho sweater or special jean jacket that you like, don’t buy the first one you see. Visit the downtown Lawrence retailers, the discount stores, even area thrift shops. You’ll find a better price if you’re patient about looking around.

1. Pairing hot pink with black or khaki

2. Scarves as belts

3. Cami tops while it’s still warm — cotton, or lingerie fabrics like silk if you’re wearing something over it

Maya will be attending high school out of state in 2004-2005.
