You can’t beat a capsule wardrobe to help you get ready quickly in the morning and if you’re looking for a hard-working shirt that is practical but has a seriously stylish edge, we recommend this one. Bonus: If you wear it to art class or get black pen marks on it, it might just look like part of the pattern. Win-win.

Workwear might have become more casual for the classroom over the last few years but if you always want to feel like you have that professional edge, carry it over your shoulder. This aptly named ‘fierce’ black tote is sleek, sophisticated and will smoothly mask the absolute carnage that you probably have stuffed in there.
The Good Glow Journal – €29.95
Journaling sounds great in theory but it can be hard when you’re greeted by a blank page at the end of the day when you’re tired and a bit grumpy – or worse, at the start of the day when you’re thinking of everything you have to do! This one by Georgie Crawford includes Daily and Weekly Prompts, Affirmations and a chance to check in with how you’re feeling on a scale of 1-10. Prepare to feel calmer about everything – even going back to school.
Ray Hurley Glenroe Print – €25
Get this print as a reminder that no matter how badly you have the ‘Sunday Scaries’ as an adult, they will never chill you to the bone the way the end credits of Glenroe did when you were growing up. You can do this.
