I dread school supply and clothes shopping, too. The supplies list is ridiculous! Tissues, Clorox wipes, a ream of paper! AND, my kid doesn't even get to keep the stuff I buy! It's a "community" pile, basically. And, clothes, OMG. Our school have a dress code- solid colored shirts, with collars, and khaki pants. I have a 13 y.o. who wears misses' sizes. Do you know how hard it is to find solid colored shirts that she will wear besides polos??!!
