Without further ado, here is your cheat sheet for achieving The Student Look (no tutor required):
DO:
Buy a blazer.
Find a great boyfriend shirt.
Get one versatile (think gray) pair of trousers that works for your build and style.
Wear oxfords, booties, loafers, or mary janes.
Embrace the jumper/playsuit.
Find at least one high-waisted piece that you love, and pair with tights or knee socks.
Wear your hair in a straight, blunt cut or a classy updo.
Keep the makeup to a minimum, except for the eyes.
Stock up on cardigans (Fairisle is THE print this fall).
Acquire at least one cute, skirted coat.
Wear nerd glasses.
Find a great shoulder bag.
DO NOT:
Wear pleats unless they look good on you.
Untuck your shirt.
Wear tights as pants.
Overdo the jewelry.
Masquerade in stilettos.(These head into sexy librarian territory.)
Wear unflattering pieces just because they are trendy.
Wear neon or acid wash. ( Enough already, people. There was only one Lisa Turtle.)
Run in the halls.
