It is always tempting to make a one stop shopping trip during the first week in August to get the back to school clothes shopping knocked out.
But for most kids, it makes more sense to get one new outfit, then let kids wear their summer clothes for the first few warm weeks of school. By the time the weather cools down, the prices will have cooled down as well.
Plus by waiting, you will know what other kids are wearing or if any knew trends come up in the fall.
The same goes for school supplies. Send your student to school with a pencil and paper the first day, then see what the teacher sends home for school supplies. This is especially true for Middle School and High School where supplies will change from teacher to teacher.
Below my youngest daughter's first day of First Grade outfit. (Obviously I don't get to plan the high school student's outfits anymore!).
Bonnie Jean 6X purchased for $22 on sale.
Chill-icious Lunch Box from Thirty-One Gifts on sale for $9.
I am going to make one hair clip myself and let her wear some aqua leggings that we already have from the spring. After that, we will be getting some more wear out of those summer shorts outfits!
