Today, we're trying to save money without sacrificing style, making the most of our back to school budgets. Our friends at H and M gave us some really cool looks for fall. And the great thing is these pieces are all under $40. So we want to start with Shannon's son Carter who is in the second grade. And what's so great about this is not only how much he seems to be into this style, like he's got like a little dance move going on but the entire set $35 for the top and bottom. Yeah, that's great. And you can really mix and match them with different things if you don't wanna wear that whole outfit all the time, right? Because that sweatshirt would go great with jeans and you know, put anything on the top of those beige pants, it's really good. So you can really mix and match that you like them because they're very comfortable to move around for kids too. That's the thing you go out on the playground at recess, you wanna be comfortable and you also want to look at at the same time. All right, let's take a look at mckenzie. She is up next. And what was really great about these pants is that they're so comfortable as well. These parachute pants are back having a moment. I know it was like MC Hammer. I thought going like that and I was like, trying to teach her about MC Hammer while she was wearing it, but she thought they were super cool and comfortable and they let her breathe, you know, a lot of space. Right. And then, and right now, obviously we have this great ribbed gray shirt, but it can go with a variety of different looks, change it up, sweatshirts and layer, you know, all types of looks on the top, so they're comfortable and, you know, really great. All right up next, let's take a look at some of our middle schoolers up versus Madison and this is amazing. So, yes, beautiful dress on Madison right there. It's only 12 99. Yeah, we need one in every color, right? Because you figure, ok, she's got this really cute, um, you know, jacket over it. The jacket's only 30 bucks, but you figure the jacket could be paired with jeans or anything and the same thing, this dress, you know, you could put a little cardigan over it. If you're chilly or a denim jacket, it could really have a lot of different looks to it. Yeah, I like how it was so versatile and she felt so cool and it's New York so you can't go wrong there. Exactly. All right. Let's take a look at my son, Timothy and Tim is wearing sweatpants. But the difference with these is that have that little bit of color block, which just makes it a little more elevated. Just a simple, uh, white tea underneath a zip up sweatshirt. The hoodie is only 20 bucks. Obviously. Again, it's one of those things you just easily throw in the car. So if the weather changes, it's a little cooler. But if not you tie it around your waist or give it to mom to hold because that's kind of how that goes. Yeah. And again, it's comfortable, it's athletic, they can move and groove in it and again, black goes with anything so you can mix and match it. Right. All right. Let's take a look at our high schoolers first off. We have LA and it's interesting because Blazers are really making this comeback. And even for, you know, kids in high school, the look really has just this polished finished look to it. So the Blazer could be dressed, you know, down here you see it with the high waisted jeans, which again, are lovely. And then she has like a really, you know, cute crop top underneath it because, you know, she is in high school. So, you know, she doesn't want to feel sloppy, have a lot of bulky things, but I think she looks great. Yeah. And the kids are loving those big baggy outfits, really making a comeback because that was cool when I was in school as well. Ok. Well, how about this one? We're gonna take a look at Mike and Mike is making me think all the retro feels right here. He has, you know, this flannel shirt. It's about 25 bucks, obviously, you can wear it, you know, all throughout the season. And he also has that jacket there and he really loved that jacket. It was, you know, it was great lightweight waterproof and on the jean side there he is putting the jacket on, on the jean side, these look like joggers, you know, but obviously they're denim but they had that, you know, really comfortable waist band as well. So you just pull them on, pull them off, but they look more like that jean but have the comfort of like a jogger. Yeah. And these days we don't know what the weather is doing. So that jacket is perfect and I love the color nice and bright, especially when you're walking to school. You wanna make sure they're able to be seen, right? So you look at how good your kids look like there, Shannon and love that book bag too by the Oh, yeah. And you know, I thought it was amazing how much stuff you were able to fit in the book. Yeah. Yeah, because you figure between after school and all the kind of extra curricular that they have. Yeah, it was really great. They look lovely. They look like they're having fun and we appreciate all the kids giving us their time and their style and uh really show us how great those back to school looks. And of course our thanks to our friends over at H and M for finding such nice looking affordable looks because we don't have to break the bank to send our kids to school. And that's the most important thing for me as a parent, I don't wanna break the bank and they're happy because they're stylish. So.
