Anatomy of an Outfit: Jenna Ushkowitz's Back-to-School Makeover

While some are busy speculating what will happen next for our beloved glee clubbers once school's in session for Season 2, us fashion-minded Gleeks are wondering how these potential changes could affect their wardrobes. In the March 2010 issue of Elle, creative director Joe Zee did just that, playing with the looks of our favorite Glee ladies, and we're loving Jenna Ushkowitz's (Tina) makeover so much that we're hoping it translates to the small screen. With a cozy knit sweater and pencil skirt made from sweatshirt material, the outfit takes elements of high schoolers' style staples and makes them look incredibly chic. No small feat, considering how a lot of high schoolers dress! Here’s how you can steal her style this fall.
