BLUE OUT. Sophomores Aldegundo Brenneman, Ann Li and Caden Deardurff posed in their dark blue outfits. "This is my dad's shirt," Brenneman said of the shirt, which is from Mexico. Li and Deardurff instead opted for casual clothes near the top of their wardrobes, choosing new accessories rather than clothes. "I got my earrings at American Eagle," said Li, who chose a pair shaped like butterflies. Deardurff described his favorite part of his outfit as his new shoes.

Classes started in the upper school on Thursday, with back-to-school fashion on display. Whether they rolled out of bed and looked for the first thing they saw or carefully planned and purchased new clothes, everyone’s outfit had a story to tell. Time for a fit check!

Whether the outfit was last minute or well planned, everyone had a first day look.
