4 BACK-TO-SCIIOOL SUPPLEMENT The Canadlian Statesman, August 24, 1977 these words to the wise student'should suffice WAhat S hall I Wear? Separates! -If you've already been shopping for your back-to- school wardrobe, then you're aware of the higli cost of clothing today - if you haven't begunr your shopping yet, here's how to be well- dressed this semester on a budget. 'Think separates. Don't purchase anay garment, no0 mnatter how fetching, if it's not going to tie into your overaîl wardrobe plan.

As the school year goes on, you'll want to add other great basics - like a go- everywhere trench coat to top off your wardrobe of smart separates. Z smfric.
