Ah, the first day of school—a day that brings delights like fresh boxes of crayons, a shiny new lunchbox, and most importantly, a brand-new back-to-school wardrobe. But how do you plan the perfect outfits to keep your girl cute, comfy, and excited about her new school year? What are some other back to school tips for parents that want to make sure their children are ready for school to return?
