• no. 1: For those who have an older student, Target has some super cute locker accessory options. Including this cowgirl set (they always have large magnets that light up and I purchased one for my daughter as well!)
• no. 2: Obviously need some fun hair accessories, too. Easy pick from amazon.
• no. 3: Perfect size for my 2nd grader. Can’t go wrong with a State backpack investment!
• no. 4: We always need a new lunchbox every year. Going to try this one this year. Fingers crossed!
• no. 5: Love having an alarm for my kids to know their schedule, for morning and nighttime routines. We’ve tried the Hatch, but will go for a less expensive one for my youngest.
• no. 6: Since my girls wear uniforms, we like to accessorize as much as possible. Fun socks always help!
• no. 7: Another great State backpack option, but in blue!
• no. 8: Our favorite water bottle! Girls had Stanleys last school year and due to lots of spillage, they are now banned (duh). Back to ole faithful!
• no. 9: A cutie uniform skirt from Tommy Hilfiger to finish it out.

Here are a couple of ‘big kid’ back-to-school items for the girls (in case you couldn’t tell).
