School has been in session here for two and half weeks and the long, hot August days feel never ending. I was sharing with my daughters how I wished I could pull together some more "back to school" outfits for myself quickly. That's when my stylish teen daughter Melissa, set to work on Polyvore curating some lovely sets for me. She did such a great job, I asked her to make her collection available for my readers.
By Melissa Kinsman:
When the kids go
back to school, it can be stressful for everyone. This year, moms should shop
for their back-to-school wardrobes, too! We have put
together some super-cute and functional outfits we think you will love!
Outfit one:
Where we live, school
starts in August, and it’s very hot. So,
shorts are a great way to keep cool. These Bermuda shorts are the perfect
length for moms. Yellow is a great summer color and the lace adds a very
sophisticated and grown up feel to the shirt. These Wedged sandals are super
cute and grown up. Every mom needs a big purse, and this black, leather one
will hold everything you need.
Outfit two:
Jeans rolled up as
Capri's are a great way to use jeans in every season. Keds are a preppy tennis
shoe alternative. The Solid tank gives you lots of opportunity to dress up with
a fun jacket, or (like we did) add some bling! A nude tote adds elegance to a
casual-chic outfit. If these colors are too dark for you, jeans go great with
any color, you could wear a bright color and go light on accessories or you can
add a patterned scarf to the dark tank top.
Outfit 3:
A soft denim,
drawstring skirt gives you the comfy feel of sweats, rising just above knee
length it’s very appropriate for a school event. The baby doll top is a great
cut for any body type. While being a bit shapeless it doesn’t appear boxy on
anyone and it can hide a muffin top. We loved this one because it’s supper
affordable and comes with your super cute bling! The flats add a really cute
touch, but a nice nude wedge or strappy sandal would look really good too! We
loved this tote it added a nice beachy feel to the outfit!
If you'd like to learn more about the items in my sets, please visit me on Polyvore and follow my Mom, Linda there too!

I love all of these outfits but #2 is my favorite. I may need to borrow your stylish teen ;)
Hi Maggie,
Didn't she do a great job with these sets? I love all of them and want to purchase the pieces as my budget allows.
I think I will go with door #3. I love that skirt and top set--it really looks comfortable especially since it is still very hot and muggy out there!!
Hi Michelle,
I love the outfit #3 as well! The light pink top is so cute and the skirt is just the right blend of comfy and cute!
I love them all! I would probably choose #1. I really need to update my wardrobe.
Hi Shelly,
I think there should be some sort of law that says Moms must set aside a clothing allowance for their back to school wardrobes too!
