My mom has always had awesome style. The best part of summer as a kid was counting down the days till Mom and I could go back-to-school shopping—the smell of new jeans, shoes and shirts, the constant hunt for a bargain, and the triumph and pure joy of finding something “perfect”  made me really excited to start school each September....
