One of my daughters and I made a trip to the mall today. I remembered that last year, we waited too late to shop for back-to-school clothes. We went a few weeks into July, and the stores were already putting out fall clothes. All the great summer sales were nearly over, and it was slim pickings.
So this year, we went early. We walked into a store today just as they marked summer clothes down as much as 70%. She buys her own clothes now, for the most part, since she's a working girl. And she got 8 shirts, a pair of shorts, a dress, and a nice bag for right at $100. Not bad at all.
She'll probably sock most of it away 'til late summer, so she'll have some new duds to wear back to school. If your kids are going to need some hot weather clothes for back-to-school - it stays hot around here 'til the end of October - then get over to the mall now, before it's too late.
