I gave up picking out my children\u2019s clothes a long time ago, so when it comes time for back to school shopping, I let them have free reign at Goodwill. I know my dollars will stretch so much farther than at the mall. And they find the name brands they want at the prices I love.<\/p>\n

Chloe is in middle school and she has a style all her own. Her look starts with the ethnic print black and white top from Forever 21.It\u2019s perfect for the warmer days and she\u2019ll probably layer a hoodie over it when the weather turns cooler.\"DSC_6245\" <\/a><\/p>\n

Distressed jeans are a do. You can dress them up or down and they are an every day staple for students. This pair from Gap would have been around $70 when new (even with the distressing). She lives in skinny jeans so I love finding her favorite brands she at Goodwill.<\/p>\n

She keeps her accessories simple \u2013 a colorful backpack from Xhiliration (a Target brand) was brand new and is big enough to fit all of her books and binders.\"DSC_6248\" <\/a>The vintage blue suede oxfords are a unique choice, but she fell in love with them and they have a good sturdy sole and will be perfect for running around.\"DSC_6246\" <\/a><\/p>\n

For under $23, Chloe has a great outfit for back to school!\"DSC_6251\" <\/a><\/p>\n
