Back to School Fashion

Stylist Amy Seeman shows off some of latest trends in kids fashions plus gives us tips for navigating back to school shopping. Follow Amy @mamaseeman on Instagram.

Tips:

• Before you buy anything new, assess what they already have that fits and identify gaps.
• Spread the wealth! Buy just a few new pieces right before school starts (maybe a couple new t-shirts and a pair of shorts and shoes) and then do a second spree once the weather changes to break up the spend.
• Let them choose! As hard as it can be to let go of control over their appearance, it’s so good for their confidence when you let them decide how they want to show up to the world.
