I love the updated fit of the School Uniform Girls' Perfect Fit Plain Front Blend Chino Pants. They aren't a skinny pant, but the cut of the leg is just a bit narrower than a straight cut style. I think this will be a popular choice for fashion forward young ladies that wear uniforms to school. My daughter is used to wearing boot cut pants because she really doesn't like the feel of skinny jeans or pants. After putting them on, she pulled at the pant leg once noticing the difference in the style, but not being able to vocalize the difference at how they fit her closer in the leg. I then paid close attention to see if she continued to tug at them, but she quickly got used to them not giving it another thought.
As a Mom, I also love the features and quality of these pants. Because she is just growing into a new size, we had to take advantage of the adjustable waist and make it smaller. This is her first pair of reinforced knee pants. Back in preschool, she quickly blew out the knees on all her jeans and I had to resort to using iron on patches. So, I know she's going to put these Iron Knee Pants to the test this year. But the best part is the hem.
Lands' End does the hemming for you! Yeah, it seems so old school for a retailer to hem your pants, but it makes so much sense. I've never understood why women's pants are made all the same length while men's are sized both by waist and inseam. With these quickly growing kids, it seems the standard pant sizes are either too long or too short. With a custom inseam sized just to fit, it makes things simple. Because beyond a simple button repair, I'm no good at sewing and I don't even have a sewing machine or have access to one. This is so awesome for me because most standard pants in my daughter's new size are a good four or five or more inches too long for her.
When you place your online order, you enter your child's inseam. Now here's what's really important to know, there is no need to size up. They make the adjustment for us to allow some wiggle room for the fabric to shrink under recommended laundering instructions and to allow some growing room. I measured my daughter's inseam at 20 inches and, as advised, entered her actual measurements when ordering. The pants that arrived measure almost 22 inches. And as promised they will give her room to grow, but they don't look noticeably long and are totally wearable at this length.

I always advocate that you look for brands and items with the word "resistant" in its product claims. This polo is said to resist stains, resists shrinkage and resists piling. No boxy fit either; the fit is distinctly all girl and shaped to be flattering to a young girls figure. It is machine washable for easy care. The other feature worth noting for uniform kids is that this polo hits the top of the hip, allowing the right amount of fabric to properly tuck in your uniform polo.

which are cute navy slips-ons. They were the last box on the shelf and happened to be in my daughter's size at something like 60% off! At that great price, I thought they would be a great shoe to wear to Sunday school with her dresses on the weekend. I tried to purchase clothes for Sunday school in pretty bright colors since it is really one of the only times she isn't in uniform. But I did intentionally choose outfits that would coordinate with, or at least not clash with, her basic school shoes.
which are a classic Mary Jane with a Velco strap and a rubber sole. They come in a suede material in black, navy or brown, as well as a black patent. They were recently redesigned to look dresser and some comments indicate the shoe is now too narrow. It is offered in Regular and wide in toddler sizes starting at 5 through girls size 7.It retails for $39.

My personal preference for a quality soft material may have factored into this purchase. I had read great reviews online. I got it at the Back to School sale at Sears when all Lands' End items were 30% off. The navy color faded a bit initially after the first time it was laundered, but it has held steady in repeated washings since. The buttons are small which may be difficult for little fingers still learning to button and unbutton. It is the favorite of the three and is the one that gets packed in the backpack most days.
