Back To School Clothes

It’s the first day of school, you’ve got your camera ready, a box of tissues handy and maybe a celebratory bottle of champagne on ice. This is elementary school, not a fashion show but your days of dressing your kid up in what you think is cool are numbered. You may as well do it up.
