20. Anything you have knitted or crocheted yourself

21. All khaki

22. All capris

BONUS: You can pair a kilt with a trenchcoat — a trend started by a Santa Barbara homeschool co-op.

ADDITIONAL STYLING TIP: Always tuck your polo into your khaki shorts, capris, skirts, or skorts.

And remember…

Girls, always button your shirt all the way up and keep your ponytails directly in the center of the back of your head.

Boys, keep your hair short, because long hair is a sin — unless you’re Samson, or that token long-haired boy in co-op who thinks he’s a philosopher.
