MY DAPPER LIL' MAN: A BLAZER IS A MUST-HAVE EVEN IN KIDS FASHION

What was previously my fave look may now have some competition. I love my dapper lil' man sporting this pinstripe blazer. I enjoyed pulling this look together and jazzing up his uniform. And I must say, this was part of this year's Easter suit. And if like most, often as Mommies we go all out for Easter yet the kids get minimal use out of the outfit. But the same as my daughter's have gotten more wear out of their blazers which accompanied their Easter ensemble, so has my son. This look didn't require much. The blazer was such a statement and further accessorized by the MadPax backpack (one of my son's faves), which added a bright pop of color. I just love this look on him and his facial expression although not the best, makes me smile. Get the full scoop on this pin at pinterest.com/bagladiesradio/style-me-back-to-school.

#StyleMeBackToSchool: Look 2!

#StyleMeBackToSchool is off and running! The too cute second pin is up showcasing today's look! The focus this week is how a uniform can be accessorized to not only kick the look up a notch but further define your child's style. It's been funny for me even as my children are the guinea pigs, watching how just with a little pop of color or turning up their shirt collar, my kids entire demeanor changes. My faves with this look were the pants, awesome fit and the vest. I wish it came in my size. I didn't need to do much as far as directing my daughter. She loved this look. It's so her. She literally matured in front of my eyes. She really wore this ensemble with confidence. I just started snapping pics. There were so many good ones. She's a natural but then again I am her Mommy.

#StyleMeBackToSchool Kicks Off September 3rd!

Is your child required to wear a uniform to school? Do you ever wonder if his/her creative expression is being stifled at all? Do you ever look for kids fashion tips or easy to duplicate looks that are on trend? Look no further! "Style Me Back-To-School" is just for you.

Per a special edition "Mommy Midday" segment which aired last week on Bag Ladies Radio, (click here to listen OnDemand), the series continues with "Style Me Back-To-School." A month long showcase which kicks off September 3rd. Sourced from Nat'l Center for Education Statistics, 33% of all public and private schools in the United States now have a uniform requirement. Do you live in New Orleans, Cleveland, Chicago, Boston, Miami or Cincinnati? These locations top the list of U.S. cities requiring uniforms in public schools. Growing up, I never wore a uniform. I had complete freedom mind you my Mom didn't allow me to wear whatever but ...Being a Mommy of three children all of whom wear uniforms, I sometimes wish they had a bit more flexibility but at the same time, there are TONS of options. But often, I hear the same sentiment echoed amongst Mommy friends in that they don't really know what those options are. I had alot of fun using my own three as guinea pigs. They had just as much fun as I with this project. And keep in mind, not everything required purchase. Some of the looks were all about getting our DIY on.

"Style Me Back-To-School" is all about showcasing how in spite of a uniform requirement, your child can still define his/her style and be creative. "Style Me Back-To-School" is all about how you can take the most popular trends in kids fashion and create the hottest looks. Admittedly, uniforms can get stale and the process of wearing essentially the same thing every day can be very monotonous. But the most minimal accessory can change your child's look and kick your child's motivation up a notch too! The same as when you look good, you feel good, your child does too and will start the day with that much more energy and excitement for learning!

"Style Me Back-To-School" kicks off Tuesday, September 3rd at http://pinterest.com/bagladiesradio/style-me-back-to-school/. You can follow across all platforms via the hashtag #StyleMeBackToSchool. A new look will be pinned each day for a month. Stay tuned for details regarding featured brands, on-air dish and fantastic give-a-ways! And I may even be soliciting you to submit pics of your own child in uniform and how he/she expresses style.
