Back to school clothes shopping?
I would say any time in August is good to hit back to school sales. Same with supplies. BUT if you have tax free weekend in your state and it hasn't passed (it was last weekend here in North Carolina) I recommend going then. When thifting I always make sure to look for cardigans, blazers, sweaters, scarfs, and jeans. Some times I look for button ups, but I get tired of looking through the rows and rows of shirts hehe :P For stores I recommend TJ Maxx, Marshalls, Old Navy/Gap, Target, H&M if you have one near you, Ross, and Forever21. For online shopping (which is how I get most of my stuff. Its usually easier to find a promo code for online than it is for an in store coupon.) I recommend Boohoo.com (I frickin' LOVE this site), us.asos.com (They have the best tight designs ever. To die for), agacistore.com, tobi.com, Amazon.com, Ebay.com (Seriously. If you are careful and buy from trusted sellers you can get really good deals. I got a pair of tall black uggs for $140) urbanog.com, and GoJane.com I find that the last two are the best for shoes. For makeup I really recommend Sleek palettes. They are a drugstore makeup in the UK, but they ship to the US and are really nice quality. Comparable to high end palettes. You didn't say what grade you are going into so I will assume you are in high school. GET A GOOD BACKPACK. This is a must. I recommend a LL. Bean or The Northface Jester. I would say just get basics as far as supplies go. 1 or 2 five subject notebooks, a couple 1 inch binders, college ruled loose left paper, a composition book, wooden pencils, mechanical pencils, a planner, pens, and a pencil pouch. Save the rest of the supply buying for after your first day when your teachers give you their syllabus'. For staple items, it depends on your style. I have a really pretty metal gold lace collar necklace that is a great statement piece. Its very classy and dressy. Motorcycle pants, disco pants, and wet look pants can all also be great staple items. I recommend getting at least one pair of nice boots, a lace dress (this is practically a must. They are super in right now.),a blazer, a peplum shirt or dress (really coming into fashion right now), a chiffon top, and a nice bold necklace as staple pieces. Tights and thigh high can also be great staple pieces. They are a must have in my wardrobe. I can't really say how you can stretch your money except shop around and compare prices before you commit to one thing. I hope this help you :P

Have you started back to school shopping?
I’m not a huge fan of back to school crowds so I ordered my children’s school supplies through an online group to be delivered to their classrooms. I also did my school shopping for this year during the Fall and Winter sales at the end of last year, simply upping the size by one. I tend to shop that way as it is much less expensive and there are certain things they need and wear that won’t change much in terms of style. All I have left to buy are Clorox wipes, tissues and baby wipes for the classrooms and socks and underwear for my eldest son. He prefers classic briefs and for some reason all I can find are really funky colors in his size. He is 11 and no longer wants Batman underwear so I was thinking grey, white, black. Anything normal. Even solid colors would be ok. What did I find? Plaid.Who wears plaid briefs?
My Daughter and Back-to-School Shopping?
Look, i was never given a huge amount of money and told to shop. my parents taught me the importance of a dollar. my family isnt filthy rich, so the way i used to shop at her age was with my parents. My mom would take me to a store like TJ maxx or JC penney's and we'd pick out things together. we'll also look around malls for sales and discounts. that way i could find stuff i like for cheap. Trust me, you will teach her a valuable lesson on money. i never owned really expensive clothing, and i survived. I still cringe at price tags in certain stores. now that i earn my own money and buy my own stuff, i still tend to go for cheaper clothes and sales, i can get more that way! and trends will fade, tell her not to worry about trends and just go for pieces she likes. i really wouldnt suggest just giving her money and letting her loose, what she will do is go to those exact stores you mentioned and buy a couple of expensive things. then she will go home and complain about not having enough clothes and guilt-trip you into giving her more money. im not a parent but i can imagine that it must be hard to deny your child of "coolness" and popularity, but they'll grow out of it. this wont be such a big deal to her in a few years if you set her straight. if you dont, she'll forever be obsessed with material things and won't be good with her money. i survived without abercrombie, so can she good luck!
How much should I spend for back to school shopping?
I'm going to be a freshman in high school next year. Right now I'm 13 , but will be 14 at the start of the school year. I don't want to look like a bum in my opening years of high school. I made a list of clothes that i want to get (that can last the whole year) Brands 1. Hollister 2. American Eagle 3. Abercrombie&Fitch 4. H&M shirts 5. Urban Outfitters 6. Adidas 7. Polo Ralph Lauren 8. Nautica 9. Hollister Jeans & Pants 10. Aeropostale Jeans 11. Nike Shoes Jordan retro 10 powerblue - $120 (my size) KD vi (any) - $100 Lebron soldier vii galaxy - around $90-100 I did the math and I'm estimated to spend over $700 . I didn't tell my dad yet, but I'm not even sure if he'll spend that much for school. My highschool has no uniform, all my previous schools did (so he didn't have to spend much) I feel like I'm being greedy, but not sure. Am I spending the right amount for school clothes? Can you make a list of how much to buy out of the list i made above (optional) And yes, I really need the shoes.. It matches with my clothes. If I'm wrong, how much should I be spending (including shoes) .
How many of you are doing your back to school shopping online or are you going to regular stores? Where are you doing most of your shopping?
This came up in my news feed because of morgan, haha.And I LOVE back to school shopping. It is my favourite thing to do, ever.I mostly do mine in-store with the odd ordered t-shirt.When I go back to school shopping it always ends in me hating myself and my older sister yelling at me. I don't go until 2–3 weeks before school starts.I get my clothes from these stores. I highly recommend them.American apparel. This is quite expensive sometimes as one plain t-shirt can be 50$. So I wouldn't recommend buying all your clothes from here. They only go up to size 12, so if you are overweight in any way you can't go.Walmart. Oddly enough I have found cute jeans from Walmart and I get my tank tops from here. Simply because tank tops aren't supposed to be 30$ so why would I pay that?H&M. This is my favourite store. Some of its kind of expensive but most of it is good priced. I love their clothes. I live for it.Hot topic. I buy all of my anime shirts from here.Pink - Victoria's Secret. I don't really recommend this. My parents don't like spending money on clothes so I don't shop here often. One of my “Pink” shirts was 75$. It's honestly not worth it. Walmart has the same thing basically for 10$.Garage. I don't know if this is American too but I love it. It's not too bad in price and has cute clothes.For online, I shop at ROMWE. I love it and there are some pretty cute shirts from Japan and stuff.That's pretty much all I shop at. Aside from under armour for the rare sweater.
What should i buy for back to school clothes?
i would get a lot of t-shirts, and maybe just a few long sleeve shirts but don't buy too many new tank tops since summer is pretty much almost over for bottoms, i would get like 4-5 pairs of jeans and 2-3 skirts and cool tights or leggings. the makeup sort of depends on what you look like, but some basics are like mascara, foundation/powder, lipstick/gloss/stain, blush, and eyeliner if you want. you can also get an eyeshadow pallete of neutral colors, or one thats for smokey eyes. don't get a pallete of like rainbow colors cuz those look kind of tacky just on everyday use. black, whites, and brown/golds are always the best. for hair i would get a bunch of cute clips, headbands, and styling products like gel and hairspray and whatever else you need to make ur hair look good for shoes, u definetly need sneakers, and u can get 1-2 pairs of ballet flats and a pair of boots. not necessarily winter boots just regular boots i probabaly spend way more than i should....like ridiculous amounts on my clothing especially but that's cuz i get sorta expensive brands like levi's and abercrombie. i'm trying to spend less though....by going to hottopic :) on makeup i think the max is like $100 if you get any makeup from sephora. if its from the drugstore then $50 is probably max. i get makeup from both though so my price range is probabley between $50 and $100 on hair i don't spend too much and then on shoes...well i don't really pay attention to my shoes that much actually. i get whatever i need then maybe just a pair of shoes that i don't really need but i really want so idk my price range for that really
Is 300 dollars enough for back to school shopping?
I know you said not forever 21 or wet seal but they are great places to shop. go to every store - forever 21, wet seal, h&m, hollister, abercrombie & fitch, aeropostale, american eagle, old navy, pac sun. you can find things anywhere. I spent about $300 also so i'll just tell you what i got: Forever 21: - about 10 shirts (including sweaters, long sleeve shirts, and cardigans) ranged from 11-20 dollars - a pair of black leggings $4.50 - a pair of jeans for just $10.50 - 2 necklaces (i can't remember the exact prices, but not more than 6 dollars) - fake pearl bracelets about $3.00 - 5-pack plastic headbands for $1.50 - sports bra for cheerleading $3.80 - regular bra $5.80 - nude colored cami for $3.80 Wet Seal: they have great buy one get one for a penny and 5 for $20.00 basics (tanks, tees, shorts) deal i got buy one get one for a penny shoes, so for $9.31 i get a pair of cheetah print flats and gold sandals. American Eagle: - 1 pair of yoga pants on sale for $20 (originally about 30 dollars.) Hollister: - 1 pair of 1/2 off jeans $25 (originally $49.50) Pac Sun: i just got 1 shirt on clearance for about $16 Old Navy: - 1 white cardigan on sale for $16 (originally about $26) Areropostale: - 1 pack of socks - about $6.00 - 3 camis for the price of one (about 17 dollars) i shopped there last week and at the time they had buy one cami get TWO free. i'm not sure if that sale is still going on but aero always has great sales all the time anyways. I think $300 dollars is a great amount for back to school clothes shopping. Although I didn't shop a lot of sales I still feel like I got a lot of great things and got every thing that i needed. Notice that this isn't including the jeans I purchased at the beginning of July & saved for school. I got 4 pair for a $14 total at Rue 21 because jeans were on mega sale because they were getting their summer stuff in. I did buy 2 pairs of jeans besides that, however. I know that Hollister, Abercrombie Kid's, and Abercrombie & Fitch's jeans are all 1/2 off right now. I hope I helped!
