Today is the first day of school for #outandaboutAva, who is going into the 1st grade! Excitement is in the air but she is prepared to go back to school in style thanks to our recent shopping day at University Place. This beautiful shopping area is located in the heart of the Triangle region and is the only enclosed shopping mall in Chapel Hill, North Carolina. I had fun shopping with my little one and wanted to not only share our finds but inspire you to go check out the great sales at the following stores:
Glee Kids
Leaving out the store.. full of “glee” | Glee Kids store, University Place
If you like big style for your little one, Glee Kids is a baby & clothing store you should not ignore! We saw a ‘Sale’ sign that caught our eye for one of my favorite brands for children, Tea Collection. Tea styles offer easy-fit items with globally inspired styles perfect for my girl on the go! There’s so many cute fashions, accessories and cool bookbags too, choosing what she wanted was easy to do!

I don’t know about your kid, but my child’s feet seem to grow overnight! Which means new shoes for back to school are essential. Tons of shoes, socks and backpacks are available and on sale until Sept. 10th, so hurry there now !

Looks like she is ready to go back to school in style! I don’t venture out to Chapel Hill often, but I definitely want to check this mall out.
Hoping your little had a fabulous 1st day!

Looks like #OutandAboutAva will be styling and profiling for the new school year. I am jealous that she got so many awesome things.

Lol..are you seriously jealous of a child? You do know jealousy causes wrinkles right?! There are great stores there in that mall but sorry no women sizes or styles where we shopped.
