Back to School Giveaway

I remember the week before the first day of school vividly. I would drag my mom to the mall to shop for the “perfect” outfit. There would usually be plenty of fighting and tears. The clothes that I finally purchased would be brought home and tried on about fifty times and modeled in front of the mirror. Of course, there was the call to the best friend to find out what she was wearing to make sure that we were on the same page.

I know I’m making it out to sound so stressful, but it was actually a lot of fun. I loved fashion. I still do.

This is why I was so excited to be contacted about Marshalls new back to school promotion.

Marshalls is teaming up with celebrity stylist, Art Conn, one of the stylists from American Idol, to help re-create some of the hottest celebrity looks for teens.

Take a lo0k:

First, we have the “Grunge” look (unofficially inspired by Twilight):

And finally, we have the “Preppy” look (unofficially inspired by Gossip Girl):

These looks were re-created with discounted designer merchandise from Marshalls, to show that anyone can get that celeb look–without spending celeb prices.

Conn says:

“I’ve been fortunate enough to work with some of the most sought-after fashion icons. One of my favorite things is to show how easy it is to take inspiration from their looks and re-create your own without sacrificing high-end style at prices that fit within your budget,. Every time I shop at Marshalls I am always amazed by the great designer looks and trends I find at such low prices. It’s not about big budgets or living in a fashion capitol, you can still get the top trends that you see your favorite celebrities wearing for a lot less at Marshall.”
