Trend Watch: Must-Have Back-to-School Styles For Girls

If your daughter is anything like I was as a child, then back to school means just one thing: shopping! Starting in elementary school, each year I would decide what my "look" would be (unfortunately, some of the looks involved acid-washed jeans, oversized polos, and a few perms), and I would beg my mom to help me fulfill it at the mall. Luckily, kids' fashions are more chic than in my day, with many trends mirroring grown-up looks.

If you have a tiny fashionista on your hand — or a daughter who needs a little direction in the style department — then consider this your back-to-school trend report. From neon and leopard print to quirky accessories and stomp-around shoes, these are the items your little girl should be rocking this school year.
