My sister sent over my niece’s first-day-of-school pics this week, all tiny backpacks and get-to-know-me chalkboards. Then my other sister dug up our back-to-school photos, which were considerably less styled. I still remember the thrill of the first-day fit and brand-new notebooks; an elite combo if ever there was one.

If back-to-school still triggers the urge for a fresh start, this one’s for you. We’re giving away a personalized two-hour styling session at Diversity Consignment to help you find your signature look for fall (or just because). Enter to win.
