I can’t believe I’m writing this. It’s back-to-school time…and my girls are in the thick of thinking about it! Whether it’s the cashier at checkout from whatever store we are in to the commercials on TV to the comments from family members, we can’t help but think about it. I love the excitement surrounding this time of year, but I can’t STAND the fact that some of my little ladies will be leaving me for a good portion of the day. So, instead of dwelling on what I don’t like, we talk about and have fun with the things that ‘going back to school’ brings. One of those being, BACK-TO-SCHOOL SHOPPING!!
My little ladies love to go shopping, my oldest being the biggest fan. I’ve just noticed this year how much she really enjoys it. I think she has really come in to herself in the last year and her opinions on her personal style are shining through. Up until this point I was able to purchase just about anything and she would be on board with the color and style. It’s moving in the direction of her picking out her own clothes. And for that, I’m not too happy. There goes the ease of shopping lol!
All that being said though, we recently took a trip to Kmart. We have one right around the corner from our house, it’s super convenient! My 6-year-old was at a friend’s house, so we ventured to the store without her. My soon-to-be 4th grader and soon-to-be preschooler each got to pick out an outfit from Kmart that will be good for ‘fall in Michigan’ as well as back to school.
My 4-year-old is a hoot in the store. She basically likes anything colorful…and on a hanger. She’s easy to please. I love the fact that Kmart has clothing ‘sets.’ There were a handful in her size and she picked the one that has a fun little tutu on it. Naturally. Tutus and little girls oftentimes go together, don’t they?
I wanted to get a pair of shoes that would be good for school too. She found these adorable, colorful, sequin-filled shoes from Joe Boxer that were right up her alley. We tried a couple on to confirm correct sizing and we were out of there. She was easy peasy! Now, the 9-year-old…different story lol!
Ok, well I have shared enough for this blog post. I’ll share with you my oldest’s look in another post next week. Nothing like creating the pull, right? 🙂
What do you think? Are you an avid Kmart shopper? What do you look for in back-to-school fashions? Talk to me!
What a cutie pie!! She definitely picked out a cute outfit. I used to shop at Kmart on occasion. Unfortunately, they have closed the only ones that are near to me.
Thank you! That’s a bummer that you can’t shop in store any more. Online is great too!
I sure wish we had a K-Mart close to us.
Oh bummer! It’s too bad you don’t!
Cutie pie! My daughter would love those shoes!
Thank you! And yes, those shoes had her smiling!
Those Joe Boxer shoes are fabulous, my girls would love them! Our Kmart closed 🙁
Oh no!! 🙁 But yes, those shoes!! 😉
What a cutie! I love her style choices. Plus, she has a smile that I’m sure melts hearts! 🙂
Awe – thank you!! She is my smiley girl for sure. She’s a hoot to take pictures of when she loves her outfit lol!
She is too stinkin’ adorable! Love that little outfit.
Thank you so much!! 😉
Your daughter has great style! I love when they get old enough to have an opinion on their clothes!
Thank you so much – it is definitely cute when they start choosing. I agree 🙂
Seriously, she is so darn cute. Little fashionista right there. And I have to say we love the clothes at Kmart. Some don’t last long but long enough for the kids to grow out of. We have gotten some really cute stuff there in the past years for my kids. Love the boys jeans…they are very trendy and stylish. Macy would love Miss P’s outfit for sure.
OH and those shoes…I am definitely getting Macy a pair. so cute!
That outfit is adorable. My kids love Kmart too!
Thank you!
My kids like KMart too but at our store I wish they did have more selections to choose from. They will usually find something they like but the selection is somewhat limited in store.
I hope that changes around for you guys! Although, sometimes not too much to choose from turns out to be a good things for my indecisive little ones lol@
