Back To School Clothing Tips
Out With the Old
Help your child go through old clothing. Donate outgrown items.
Make a List
Plan to buy only what you need: jeans, shirts, socks, shoes, underwear. Chances are what's in now won't be after the first two weeks in school.
Be Aware of School Dress Codes
Make note of skirt or short lengths, spaghetti straps and baggy pants rules.
On Your Marks, Get Set, Shop
Focus on good quality items that will withstand multiple washings. Make sure items will mix and match with what they already have.
Organize
Have your child plan outfits the night before to avoid morning meltdowns. Make sure small children have mastered zippers, snaps and buttons before the bell rings the first day.
