The Ultra Simple

Last week I featured the total integration of the plaid theme in GAP's holiday product and promotions.  But, sometimes, budgets, time and creativity are resources most college stores simply can't afford. 

Over the Thanksgiving holiday, I treated myself to a 9 day trip to Paris. Yes, most of the time was spent site-seeing and exploring the museums of the city.  However, retailer at heart, I did have to stroll down the Champs Elysees to check out the holiday windows.  For simplicity sake, this window from Tara Jarmon gets my vote for the classiest, simpliest and easiest look to pull off on any budget.  Imagine this in school color ribbons but keep the boxes simple.
