My parents sucked and from the time I was 11 and on, I had a 30+ hour a week babysitting job to ensure I had money for school supplies and clothes. I do miss the excuse to go out and get a complete wardrobe but now it's nice because I have way more money to spend and I can spend throughout the year. I've learned quality versus quantity.
getting to go back to school shopping is what makes me excited for school. but after i wear all of my new clothes the novelty and excitement wears off and fast.
I don't need to wear my school uniform anymore, which makes it a lot easier now considering I don't need to buy school shoes and trousers (which were the hardest to find!) :P
I so miss my parents footing the bill too!! Oh and it was always a great excuse to buy new clothes...now I have to convince my husband everyone I know has seen me in that sweater from last year so I have to have a new one....doesn't sound as convincing as saying "new school year new clothes!"
I just graduated from college so this is my first year not trying to assemble a whole wardrobe for my return. While I'm sad I no longer have the excuse, I always have shopped for seasons so I'm not really missing much, just a job to pay for it all.
Yes! I remember doing a huge back to school shopping trip each year when I was younger. Now, I still buy different clothes for different seasons (of course), but it's different because I don't do any huge trips.Like Ziva, I also miss buying all of the school supplies.

I'm kind of like #3. I like to shop with the different seasons. For example, in summer I buy a lot of cute halter tops. In Winter, I like to buy t-shirts and hoodies. I don't usually buy all at one time though due to not having the money. I try to buy a new outfit every month though if I have the money.
