Every Punky Princess knows that her layers are meant to be seen, so layer a short sleeved tee over a long sleeved shirt, toss a cropped shrug over a top, or layer your shorts over leggings. Ideally, she should wear whatever makes her feel fabulous, so long as it fits in with school dress codes and is age appropriate.

If she isn't a fan of skinny jeans, she can rock a pair a classic fit jeans. For Back to School 200, choose jeans that go just past her ankle, or a cropped pair that hit her either mid-calf or above the ankle.
