The ABCs of Looking Cool For Back-To-School

When it comes to Back-to-School fashion for my sons, I’m on it. I’m that mom who literally gets excited and loves shopping for Back-to-School styles for my kids. Each one of my sons has a different kind of style and personality, for me… I love to hone in on that with them when it comes to their clothing and picking out certain fashion items for them. William, my oldest heading into 5th grade this year loves a clean, preppy look. Alex, my next guy heading into 4th grade loves cool, hipster looks. Benjamin, my next guy heading into 3rd grade loves ultra-comfortable fashion items for his personal style. And my Henry, my youngest son heading into 2nd grade loves fun and bolder items for his styles. Honestly, it makes my mom-fashion-job for Back-to-School shopping so much easier with them because they really all do have their own distinct likes and styles.

Target Back to School is one destination that is easy to shop for Back-to-School clothing because they have fashion styles and pieces for everyone. Target truly simplifies back-to-school prep and makes it awesome and fun for kids because they are able to find those fashion pieces that speak to them. For me, with 4 kids heading Back-to-School this year, I need to make sure that I’m shopping smart, but I also want it to be enjoyable for the WHOLE family. I want them to remember these moments and cherish this time. I want them to love what they get, but I also want them to feel good and cool at the same time, too!

It’s easy to get your kids ready and prepped for Back-to-School time by following these (3) easy ABCs:

A: Amazing Affordability.

With 5 kids, I need to make sure I’m shopping smart. I love that I can get the latest trends and styles for my boys at amazing prices, not to mention – the pieces mix and match perfectly!! I don’t have to worry about spending hundreds and hundreds of dollars to get the boys looking handsome, cool and ready for school. I’m able to buy multiple items for each son and stay within a reasonable budget, which is something I love and need to do for my family. It works perfectly for our family because everyone is able to get of a bunch of new things for school!

B. Back-to-School Trends

I’m all about knowing the latest trends and styles for my children. As a mom fashionista, I love seeing what’s going to be really hot in fashion trends for kids. This year it’s ALL about denim and Target has amazing selections for kids! Check out my guys rocking the denim!! Target has reinvented all their jeans to be even more stretchy and comfortable, which I absolutely love! Every child needs a pair of jeans that fits them like a glove, this year you’ll be able to find a perfect style for your child at Target. Also, they have amazing selections in cargo and cotton pant styles!! Go for some fun colors and patterns, too!

C. Convenience.

Target makes it easy for shopping because you can get everything you need in one spot. I can get clothing, accessories and supplies in one shopping experience! For me especially, to know that I can get looks for ALL my boys (and my daughter!) in one place, that’s amazing. I love that they make all the styles easy to find and make it easy to group together looks and outfits from head to toe! Not to mention, as school is in session, I can buy lunch items, electronics and books. I just love being able to do a one-stop shop for so many of my Back-to-School needs. It’s something that truly makes my life easier!

Enjoy your Back-to-School shopping experience by finding some incredible styles and fashion at Target this season. Have fun and enjoy the experience! I can’t believe my boys are already in 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th grades, it seems just like yesterday I was prepping my oldest son for Kindergarten! It goes by so fast! Have fun with Back-to-School shopping and make it a true family affair!! I can’t tell you how much fun we’ve already had prepping for some “cool” looks for August 31st (my sons’ 1st day!).
