One of the most fun things about going back to school (besides the higher learning, of course) is the chance to reinvent yourself. It's a fresh start, a time to take stock, and let's be honest—a chance to update your look. Who do you want to be this season?

My pick to elevate your threads to a whole new grade are the bold, eclectic necklaces of UnConventional. Made from recycled materials and natural elements, it seems you could pull just about any old thing from the back of the closet and completely transform it with a funky piece like Stories of the Past or The Music of the World. Love the item names too— scrolling through this shop brings to mind a fresh course catalog, when your schedule is wide open and you can dream about how your world will be expanded for the best with each descriptive offering. New to school? Hello instant conversation piece. 

As a noteworthy elective, UnConventional plans to donate 20% of sales to Save the Turtles and The World Land Trust charities. And you thought freespirited idealism was only alive and well on campus!
