It may still be summer, but parents know that back-to-school season is here. The first day of school, whether kids are in pre-K or middle school, will sneak up fast. With all the retailer sales happening, from Target to Amazon, it makes sense that moms are thinking about stocking up now. When B2S comes to mind, school supplies are usually high on the list, and it makes sense. Teachers send those lists out of things to purchase for school, so that's a fairly straightforward task. But what about clothes? Some kids may not care what outfits they wear for the first days or semester of school but others might. So where should a parent look? Turns out Amazon has a ton of adorable and fashionable outfits for little girls. Girls of all ages have items to choose from on there, but in this case, we found girls' clothing items that would fit them aged 12 and under.
OK, so it's on the agenda to get girls' clothes for school and the place to be is Amazon, but what exactly to get or where to even look? The site is huge after all as are the clothing stakes. There's that first day of school Facebook or Instagram photo to consider (optional of course!). There's also picture day as well. Then there's the added thought of kids needing outfits that won't just be good for warmer weather, but for cooler temperatures as well. Oh, and add to all of that that kids' clothing is just on-trend as adults. At least they can be. All of this can turn clothes shopping, in person or online, into a headache. But it doesn't have to be.
We sifted through Amazon to find the cutest ready-to-wear little girls' back-to-school clothes. There's matching sets below of all different styles — from cats to llamas to Instagram-worthy outfits. We also made sure to include options that can transition well between temps and seasons. So take a look below and choose the one, or ones, that best fit her (or his) feminine personality.
