Back to School shopping? Already? Yup!

The upcoming school year may seem like it is still forever away, but with only about a month left of summer break (Wha? That’s right!), now is the time to start thinking about Back to School shopping…

Kids can really wear out their clothes. After a full school year of them putting their outfits through the figurative (and sometimes literal) wringer, you’re lucky if you have one “wearable” t-shirt left for the upcoming grade! Not to mention they grow out of things so quickly…

So if it’s time to let go of some of last year’s kids clothes and put together a new school year wardrobe list, here are a few tips:

1. Eliminate the closet clutter. Donate clothes that your little one no longer A) fits in or B) “likes”. A good option for this is National Kidney Services, they do curbside/front door pickups. Also, toss out clothes that are too far gone, damage-wise, to be worn again. (tip-within-a-tip: these can also be repurposed; cut them up for cleaning rags, tomato ties for the garden or this great dog toy idea).

2. Compile a list of clothing needs. The amount of clothing a child needs depends on their age, school uniform policy, and how much you truly enjoy washing dirty/stinky kids’ clothes. ;)

3. On average, school age kids should have:

· 3-4 pairs of jeans or school pants

· 7-9 school shirts

· 1-2 pairs dress pants

· 3-4 dress shirts

· 1-2 “Sunday” outfits

· 2-3 pajamas

· 1 pair school shoes

· 1 pair sneakers

· 1 pair dress shoes

4. And don’t forget your budget! Kids truly don’t need designer or expensive clothing: they DESTROY wardrobes, grow out of those adorable outfits, and would prefer a t-shirt with their favorite superhero or pony on the front over a Burberry design, any day of the week. :D

Have fun Back to School Shopping!
