Back to School Style with GAP!

I love to shopping with my girls and never need a special occasion to buy clothes. What can I say – girls are so much fun to shop for! Plus L and E have similar style as their momma so that makes things even more dangerous.

As much as I love the fact that they both will wear uniforms to school this year (YAY!!), we still need to shop for casual clothes.

This weekend we’ll be attending the Back to School Celebration and School Supply Drive at GAP on Michigan Ave. I was asked to select our sassy Back to School Style!

denim dress | tall boots

E’s style is a little edgy so we went with moto skinny jeans, denim jacket, trendy sweater and metallic ballet flats. L loves a great dress – especially with a ruffle detail. She liked the idea of wearing denim to match her little sis and everyone needs a pair of tall boots for fall.

flats | Gap Suede Loafers – gravel tote | Gap Leather Tote – willow pink

And of course mom needs to look chic too! If I’m not wearing workout gear then you can usually find me in jeans. I love a plaid shirt and this version in pastels is feminine and who doesn’t love a great pair of suede flats? Totes are a must-have and I’m loving the pink leather. So sassy!!
