Dressing for success starts early. We asked area students to model these motivating back-to-school looks. All children were outfitted with clothes from Gap, Sugarcup Trading Company, Geppetto’s Toy Box and Diana Shoes of Oak Park.
In the fall it’s best to keep kids layered with options for playing outside, skating at the park or studying at the kitchen table.
