Back-to-school is always a time to re-examine your closet and inject some life with new—or at least, new-to-you—items. Unfortunately, most students are feeling a little cash-strapped after buying books and backpacks, and shelling out for that meal plan. But in Jackson, we have many options to spruce up your style that won't break the bank. Everything on this page and in our fashion shoot is less than $50, and all these boutiques and thrift stores carry many more affordable, yet chic options.
