How can I accessorize my uniform in a way that follows school rules but still shows my personal style?\"\n\n Although school uniforms seem like they might constrain your style, the streamlined basics serve as a chic canvas for this season's best accessories. Since you can't experiment with your clothes, have fun with all the extras. Show off your personal style with prep-school satchels or geek-chic glasses, and make a statement with dramatic necklaces, elegant earrings and handmade friendship bracelets. Carry your textbooks in the cutest backpack around, and stash your laptop in a patterned case that doubles as a clutch. \n\n Can't get away with jewelry and jaunty accessories at your private school? Get creative with dress code-approved belts, socks and watches. Colorful waist-cinchers, lace-trimmed bobby socks, patterned tights, and pretty detailed timepieces can make standard pleated skirts and button-downs look anything but average. To look cool without breaking any rules, give a new hairstyle a go\u2014pigtails, fishtail braids, and oversized buns were all spotted on the fall runways\u2014then add fancy bows and barrettes to top it all off.\n\n From her classic cable-knit sweater to her preppy pleated skirt, personal-style blogger Ivana Julian's ensemble will land her on the best-dressed list in no time.\n\n Have a fashion question?
