Summer is in full swing and the last thing on a girl’s mind is going back to school!  However, for mom, the search for trendy, fashionable, and fun back to school clothing has probably already started!  After a little searching, I found some really hot fashion finds that are must-haves for dressing your girls in style as they go back to school!

Hanna Andersson-  The French Market line is a gorgeous collection featuring bright, bold, fun colors that are more summer than fall!  Bright pinks and neon green highlight this line that makes for an easy transition from summer to fall clothing.  This line features:

*Cropped cardigans with satin-stitched embroidery and over-sized buttons.  Done in Berry Bloom

*Mock turtleneck with matching design

*Lacy capris leggings

*Bubble skirt- a jersey knit with a multi-colored floral design and stripes

*Clogs- 

See website for more designs and pieces!

Gymboree-  Check out the newly released line, Petite Mademoiselle, at http://www.gymboree.com, also a French-inspired collection!

This French-inspired collection features lots of navy blue and elegant detail, unlike the brighter collections from Hanna Andersson.

*Capris pants- Scenic Capris Pants done in navy with white detailing

*Navy eyelet Mary Jane shoes-  a classic and so versatile!

*Pickstitch Flare Denim Jeans are a must have for this year!  Cute!!

The Children’s Place-Featuring henleys and skorts done in pinks, purples, and teals.

*Babydoll jumpers and tops are very popular!

*Striped sweater dress done in pinks and browns is cute and comfortable!

*Faux-layered henley matched with pink roll-up shorts is a great outfit for the warmer weather

*Denim-pleated skorts

*Sash-tie bermuda shorts in solid colors

Old Navy-  The fashion show continues at Old Navy with the Preppy Punk Collection!  Inspired by rock star glam, this line is sure to be a favorite!

Crocs-  Yes!  This trend continues at http://www.crocs.com with the newly released Disney collection featuring…

*Hannah Montanna Mary Jane Crocs.  A hip, edgy shoe with rockstar glamour and glitter!

*Wall-E Crocs by Disney are fun, fun, fun, for the younger crowd!

                                 

Your girls will have so much fun shopping for back to school clothes that they just might forget that summer vacation is coming to an end!  Two themes I saw emerging in the fall collections were rock-inspired, glam fashions and Mary Jane shoes for the more conservative gals.
