Back to books, back to fun

Manila, Philippines -  Get your children into the back-to-school mood with fun pieces for the busy months ahead. Cinderella Kids has the clothes for both work and play, with an assortment to suit boys and girls.

For the girls, try a hot pink printed tee with a star motif, paired with a flared skirt with just-as-bright graphics. A sundress with mixed floral prints also works well, whether worn with a sweet cardigan or without. Take the same cover-up, adorn it with bows, and pair it with another whimsically printed dress for a fun, feminine feel.

For the boys, go the preppy route with argyle vests over polo shirts, paired with khaki shorts and cargos. Options for shirts also include checkered buttondowns — short-sleeved, to beat the heat and keep your little tyke both stylish and comfortable.

To keep up with their quick pace, ankle-strap, flat sandals for the girls come in pretty laser-cut-floral styles, or ballerina-flats, made even cuter in silver finishes. For the boys, Velcro-strap sneakers are great, paired with their trusty casual pieces, just the thing for this age of wandering, learning and excitement.
