Gallagher Girls series by Ally Carter
Polished Prep
Preppy, put-together and for a reasonable price, the prep school style isn’t hard to obtain. Whether you have a uniform or not, this is a cute look for any day of the week. Paired with a blazer to keep you warm, these sweet shorts will transition into fall, no problem. A tie neck top adds the feminine touch that the Gallagher Girls need among all that plaid.

Nick & Norah’s Infinite Playlist by Rachel Cohn
Norah’s NYC Set
Norah’s NYC concert look is far easier to obtain than her concert adventure (not your typical school night). This jacket, tank and striped pants combo is edgy without trying too hard. And it’s totally appropriate for class. We like how the jacket’s denim dresses down the added shimmer from the pants. Bravo!

The Princess Diaries by Meg Cabot

Mia does her best to adapt to her new life as the Princess of Genovia. But after all, she’s still in high school! This girl would add her own flare to a princess gown with some funky shoes. Here’s a gorgeous option that’s toned down for the desk. And you can’t forget her favorite sparkle nail polish.
