I loved that there was a display of mannequins in the jean section that portrayed every style and how it looks on a real body. My son lives in jeans during the winter and the selection at JCP this weekend was amazing. Our back to school shopping at JCP was a great way for me to help give him a few pointers for putting together a stylish outfit! Only she didn’t say it quite so nicely! Gotta love the way teenage siblings interact, right? So, I try to keep his fashion options rather simple and easy to mix and match. Last week he put on plaid shorts and a striped shirt and my daughter quickly informed him that he looked ridiculous. He has very little fashion sense and is only just recently starting to care about how his clothes look to other people. He is 6 feet tall and has the build of a string bean. Let me just say that back to school shopping for my teenage son is not always easy. As part of the Glam JC Penney #FirstDayLook campaign I was asked to head to JCP this weekend to see what sort of great styles and prices I could find to put together a new fall wardrobe for my 13 year old son. That means I have a lot of clothes to buy them for the new school year and in order to stay in budget I am shopping sales, clearance racks and consignment stores to find stylish yet versatile outfits for fall. In fact, almost everything had to get tossed into boxes to hand down to my niece and nephew. Since I am pretty sure somebody is sneaking Miracle Gro into my kids breakfast cereal, there are a LOT of things from last year that no longer fit. I spent an entire weekend sorting through their closets and bureaus trying to weed out the things that no longer fit.

My kids started back to school a few weeks ago and I am slowly trying to get their clothes situated for fall.
