Back To School Prep

This post is brought to you in partnership with Kohl’s.
All opinions are 100% honest & all items were hand-selected by us.

It might seem a little early to be thinking about back to school, but I have been known to put it off, assuming that I’ll do all the shopping in August (along with every other mom in my area) and then we end up fighting the crowds & discovering that many of the items we want & need are out of stock.  So, I vowed to myself to do things differently this year and get a head start on our shopping before it’s too late.  


For those who are interested in doing the same, Kohl’s just launched their Friends & Family Sale where you can get 20% off on select styles sitewide using code FAMILYGET20 + you’ll also earn $10 in Kohl’s cash for every $50 you spend through July 30th.  They have tons of new arrivals for fall – whether you’re shopping for your kids or for yourself, it’s a great time to stock up & save.  Today we’re sharing our transitional looks for the new season + some great back-to-school finds that are kid-tested & approved!



I’ve talked before about our struggle to find great-fitting shorts & pants for my son because he is so lanky.  These chinos are not only soft to the touch, but they fit him perfectly through the leg & the length is just right (they also come in regular & husky) – for those ordering online, we recommend going up a size.  This brand was a new discovery for us & he loved everything he tried on (which is so rare because he’s extremely picky!) – his other favorites were this raglan tee, these cargo pants & this fleece hoodie.



On him:

c/o Urban Pipeline Button-Down Shirt (short-sleeve option here), 
c/o Urban Pipeline Heathered Tee, c/o Urban Pipeline Slim Fit Chinos, 
c/o Sonoma Goods for Life Sneakers, c/o Armitron Digital Watch



With my daughter heading into 8th grade, she was long overdue for a backpack upgrade.  She wanted something neutral that would go with all her fall looks and that she could decorate with a few pins from her collection.  This gray backpack is the perfect size because it will hold her assignment binder, text books & laptop – and the sturdy leather bottom makes it much more durable than the nylon style she was using before.  


Her style is very sporty (all she cares about is being comfortable!) so we stock up on basic tees, casual jackets & sneakers.  We actually discovered these jeans over a year ago and she now has 3 different pairs that she rotates through – they are the only ones that she will wear because they fit her so well + they’re super-soft.  She also picked out this floral bomber, these gray joggers & this colorblock cardigan.

On her:
c/o Mudd Utility Jacket (also in charcoal & olive), c/o SO Striped Tee, 

c/o SO Embroidered Skinny Jeans, c/o Adidas NEO Cloudfoam Sneakers, 
c/o Jansport Backpack, c/o B-Fit Activity Tracker


When I think about building outfits for early fall, I try to focus on lightweight pieces in darker hues.  Because the weather isn’t cooling down significantly yet, this draped jacket will bridge the gap nicely and it’s easy to dress up or down.  Other combinations to try: this sweater vest with this striped tee or this burgundy cardigan with this pintucked camisole (I’d pair both with denim).

After scooping up these jeans in white during the spring (seen here), I had to get another pair in blue – the fit is so good and they have just the right amount of stretch.  And these peep-toe booties might just be my favorite pair ever – they are the perfect neutral hue & I love the perforated detail (plus the lower heel makes them great for everyday wear).


On me:
c/o Elle Draped Jacket, c/o Pink Republic Printed Top,
 c/o Levi’s Skinny Jeans, c/o Sonoma Peep-Toe Booties (love these too),
c/o LC Lauren Conrad Earrings, Nails: Essie Stitch by Stitch
