While we still have a little over a month and a half left of summer, at least here in the Northeast, September will be here before we know it. Charlotte is heading back to preschool in the fall for her third year (tear). She loves school — runs right in and doesn’t look back, which I love but also another school year reminds me of how big she’s getting. I’m in denial that my little baby is going to be four soon. Although I’m dreading the end of summer and there’s nothing like a school year to make you realize how fast the years go by, one thing that is getting me excited for Charlotte’s first day of school is shopping for cute little girl outfits for school. Dressing Charlotte for school is so much fun! I finally have a place for her to wear all those adorable dresses and tights and shoes, and although she doesn’t always let me dress her anymore (and certainly has opinions), Charlotte is a dress girl through and through. She loves being a princess and wearing “princess dresses” so it’s really fun to shop for her.
It’s still the heart of summer, but I’ve already found so many cute little girl outfits for school. Not surprisingly, all the summer clothes are already on clearance and it’s all fall and holiday merchandise moving in. There are so many adorable dresses, sweaters and jackets for toddler girls for fall that I’m trying to reign it in and just buy a little now and then get more when it actually gets colder out and everything goes on sale mid-fall. I do like to start the year off with a few pieces, because it feels weird to send them to school in their summer clothes even if it’s still pretty warm those first few weeks of school. Plus, it makes me feel more on top of everything as we gear up for the school year. With that said, I do tend to wait until fall clothes go on sale to buy the bulk of the kids’ fall wardrobes, because if you take anything from reading this blog, it should be that everything goes on sale people (“never buy anything full price” should really be the name of this blog) and that kids destroy everything. But if you’re like me and starting to prep for back to school, here are cute little girl outfits for school that I scooped up for Charlotte.
