There are two schools of thought when it comes to the first day of school. Or maybe there are just two kinds of people. The first works on their outfit all summer, laying the preliminary plans down on the bed sometime in early June, with the socks and the shoes and everything, and then they mix and match all the way into September, all the while searching for something that works–only to be known when they see it.

 And then there’s the second kind of person, who–well actually, who knows what they do? Do they just wake up on that very first morning and just throw something together? Ad Hoc? Impromptu? Whatever happens to be clean? Whatever’s handy? Whatever fits? Willy-nilly? But that’s–that’s totally crazy! Why would anyone do that?

We’re the first kind of people, through and through, and we can’t imagine it any other way.

And yet, even within that first school of thought, even within that first kind of people, there are yet two more schools of thought, two more kinds of people, and this, roughly, is how they divide themselves.

The first school says, why fight it? Why stint? Why pretend as if it’s not a big deal? Why not go all out?

While the second opts for a subtler approach, something classy and sweet, but somewhat discreet.

So which way do you guys go? Obviously, you’ve been planning all summer, but are you going to be brash or bashful? Sentational or subtle?

Tell us. We’re curious.
