With the last of the sunshine- and action-filled days of summer upon us—
—the McGee girls are anxiously awaiting the first day of school. Back-to-school shopping is a tradition we’ve all come to look forward to in our family. Syd and I especially treasure the one-on-one time with the girls as they eagerly pick out their school supplies, chattering away about seeing their friends and their favorite teachers. While they may be in uniforms (which is really a win for everyone in our house on school mornings!), I can’t help but browse through all the darling kids’ clothes available this season. And thankfully all the shoe, backpack, and accessory options are equally as fun. Here are a few of my favorite picks for those heading back to the classroom this fall.
