First Day of School Attire

Have you picked out your child's first day of school outfit?  Do you follow the tradition of a new outfit and the "photo" that very first morning of the new year? What have you done with these photos?

At our house we always take a picture the first day of school, some years have been better than others. We try to always have a new outfit and look our best that very first day. It is becoming a bit harder as my children have gotten older for me to pick out their outfit. As if it isn't hard enough, the first days of school go along with  the three digit temperatures of August. So here are a few suggestions to help take that summer wardrobe into fall.

• Freshen up your closet with some new tops.  Many times the soft t-shirts show wear before the thicker pants.
• Pick up a couple new summer outfits from the SALE racks and layer with wide tanks or tees for appropriate school attire.
• Purchase new fall items that are of lighter weight and mix and match with other pieces in your closet.
• Don't forget the accessories. A simple outfit and come to life with  a necklace and hair bow.

Just a few ways to make your closet stretch from one season to another. A good jean jacket and a couple little shrugs are always a good staple to help transition to the next season. Try to think outside the box and you will be surprised what great looks arise! Happy First Few Days of School.
