If you have school age kids, you know that while this is an expensive time of year for parents, its a time to check out what’s new, what’s cool and fun in the fashion world for kids. After all, they all seem to want to express their sense of style those first days of school! Today’s Thursday Thirteen is all about fall fashion for kids!

1. Old school is the new style – think about what we were wearing as kids – just updated.

2. Stripes – thick, thin, or varied. Stripes seem to be everywhere this fall.

3. Deep fall colors such as browns, reds, olives, greys and navy.

4. Layers - camis under v-neck tops, thermals under Ts, layering is hotter than ever.

5. Jeans – it doesn’t matter who you are, whether you are a boy or girl, toddler, teen or grown up, jeans are always in style. This season it looks like the styles are endless – skinny leg, flare, classic fit – whatever fits your style!

6. Baby doll tops – long sleeve, short sleeve, or sleeveless layered with a top underneath, the baby doll tops come in a variety of styles and look really cute on the girls. I like that the lengths are longer and we are not seeing belly buttons!

7. Ballet flats – canvas, sparkly or just simple – this 80’s footwear staple is hotter than ever now, which is better than the heels that were all the rage last year.

8. Leggings – paired with baby doll tops, tunics and under mini skirts, leggings somehow are back in style again.

9. Belts over shirts – skinny and shiny or wide and flattering – belts over shirts seem to be in every catalog this fall.

10. 2-in1 tees for boys and girls – more of the layered look! The boys love the thermal henleys under their graphic tees and polo shirts. For girls, tees under spaghetti straps are fun, too.

11. Cargo pants – when it comes to boys, you can never have enough pockets! Cargo pants are fun, practical and come in styles to satisfy even the pickiest kids! Of course, the girls have taken cargos as their own as well – as shorts, capris, skirts and long pants.

12. Polos and Rugby shirts for boys – collar up or collar down, these two staples never really go out of style.

13. Crocs & clogs - for some reason, people seem to think that Crocs, the ultimate in comfy clog, are a fashion statement. I will agree that they are comfortable, but they look like gardening shoes. Either way, Crocs and clogs are sure to be seen on feet everywhere.
