Re: school clothes shopping?

I haven't and other than Shoes the girls will have to wait to go clothes shopping. They have things to start the year off with.

Re: school clothes shopping?

I've been picking up things as they go on sale through all through summer to help out with my Nephews BTS wardrobe.

Re: school clothes shopping?

I've started a little bit but they mostly will need winter clothes so I won't be doing much until the new stuff for fall starts hitting the racks more. I will tell ya that Kohl's has amazing sales and I bought Emily a pair of pink sequined tennis shoes for $4 and a really cute top for $5!
I also started back into my thrifting and resale shopping in hopes to find good stuff for the kiddos but haven't been very successful thus far. I did get Zach a pair of Abercrombie jeans for $4 and a couple of casual summer tops for Em but nothing really fantastic.
I will probably put off buying shoes till right before BTS which is super early this year though! My kids head back Aug 13th!

Re: school clothes shopping?

Drew just got an entire summer wardrobe, soall Iw ill be buying him is a few pair of jeans and new shoes. The kids can wear shorts well into October around here.
Ally has TONS of clothes, so I will have to go thru everything before I start. But I think she mostly needs tops and new shoes.

I am more worried about school supplies than clothes. Last year, Drew's supplies cost me over $100! And that is for middle school!

Re: school clothes shopping?

My girls wear uniforms.
They will probably need new oxfords, but their uniforms still fit them. I will have to send the jumpers to have the hems let out because they are taller this year, but they fit everywhere else and the white shirts that are worn under their jumpers are still in very good shape. Their cardigans and winter jackets are also in great shape.
Oh, they might need new socks, I am going to have to check.

Aaron will be wearing uniforms. We got some used ones cheap at the school, otherwise I purchased them new (very rare for me) from the uniform store. He just needs shoes and I think we're done.

Re: school clothes shopping?

I picked up a couple of t-shirts on clearance at Target for Jonathan. The way he's been growing, I'm thinking I need to wait until closer to time, though. LOL!

Re: school clothes shopping?

I started in the middle of June. Figured since I had two kids in school this year I'd better get started. I started buying the polos a while ago because Old Navy had them on sale for 4.00 (they have them with no logo on them). And wouldn't you know the school district dropped the dress code (except still no carpenter jeans) so I gotta go rebuy a few shirts so they can have the "cool" stuff...LOL We hold off on pants and shoes until a few weeks before school so they don't outgrow them.

Re: school clothes shopping?

I'm not going to be doing a lot of bts clothes shopping this year ... I picked up a few pairs of Aero jeans for Haley on deep discount earlier in the summer and Zach just doesn't need very much.
Haley will be getting some gift cards for her birthday that she will be expected to buy some school clothes with though...

Re: school clothes shopping?

Zach wears uniforms (white tops and navy bottoms) but are flexible. I usually do mosly polos but I got him some "cooler" stuff too. He's all set and Noah is in hand me downs and what ever I can't resist when I'm shopping. So we're done. Zach just got two new pair of sneakers this week and Noah is addiscted to Crocs so I think I'm going to get him the fur lined oned for the fall.

I got a bunch of clothes for the kids at Kohls last week. I'm not sure if I'm done or not, but I got a great start.
