Once you have a list of the budget and what your student need, go though the closet.
Look for things that can still be used, like T shirts which can be layered over long-sleeved shirts.
Next prioritze what is needed, and then come up with a final list.
It’s time, then, to start thinking about what where to get the clothes.
Go thrift shopping first. For younger children, try mom 2 mom sales. For older kids, go to a chain thrift store (which usually have a better selection), such as Goodwill, Salvation Army, and Value World or Value Village.
The best bets there are jeans, winter coats and jackets, and turtlenecks
Consignment shops are another good way to find stuff. Plato’s Closet (wwww.platoscloset.com) is a great find for more trendy stuff.
