The other day, we gave you the first part of our back-to-school shopping tips, which included going through your closet and making a list of items that you definitely need. Here are the next steps.

1. Add some fun, trendy items to your list. It’s time to add some stylish, trendy pieces to round out your back-to-school wardrobe and make it ready for Fall 2013.

  • Browse sites you love, like the Style Mag here on FPgirl. You’ll discover exciting fall trends.

  • Don’t go crazy! Focus on adding 3-4 stylish pieces to your list.

  • Always think about how these items will work with your current wardrobe. Because what’s the point in spending money on a garment that you can only realistically wear once or twice, right?

2. Compare and share lists. It’s always fun to share shopping lists with your BFFs. But don’t stop there! Share the list with your mom, big sister, grandma, dad, or whoever usually takes you shopping. Why? If they see that you’ve done your “homework,” they might be more open to buying that garment you love. Also! They can find coupons and sales (adults are good like that).

3. Go shopping and have fun!! Since you’ve done your homework, the actual shopping should be lots of fun. Enjoy and get psyched for fall!
