Back to School with Cookie's Kids #CookiesKids #CBias

Luke and Lila {my twins} are heading into first grade and this year, rather than just having a dress code, they'll actually have to wear uniforms.  Their shirts have to be ordered through a specific company but they can wear any French Toast brand bottoms.

The one thing I don't like about uniforms is that they can be so expensive.  I did a bunch of online searching and finally ordered their uniform bottoms through Cookie's Kids.  Not only did they have a really good selection but their prices were lower than other online shops I found with the same line of products.  Score!

{Have you shopped at Cookie's before?  They're celebrating their 40th year of business this year.  The business was originally started by two brothers, Cookie and Marvin, in Jamaica, Queens.  They started out selling toys, transitioned to kids clothes, and then started selling school uniforms as well.  I love hearing that a family business has succeeded!}

While I was browsing the Cookie's Kids website, I made a Polyvore board of some of the items I was considering for Luke and Lila.  My kids are a bit unsure about the whole uniform thing so I tried to stick with things that I knew would fit in with my kids' style.

Ordering through Cookie's Kids was really simple and straightforward.  The site is very easy to navigate {you can see more details and read more of my thoughts on my Google+ album}.  I even found an online coupon code that gave me an added discount.

The kids were excited when the clothes arrived and agreed to do some modelling for me.  {A note: I only ordered French Toast brand clothing but I found that it tended to fit on the smaller side for length.  I ended up exchanging the pants for the next size up.}
Luke and Lila look so cute in their new uniform bottoms.  Just two more weeks till this becomes their daily outfit!
