back to school
LYNNE KONSTANTIN CONTRIBUTING WRITER
W
hether your kids are hitting the books in person or
hopping on the virtual highway, we can still make back-
to-school shopping fun for them (and us!). Fall 2020 is
certainly not as anyone imagined, but local businesses are taking
the “cool and comfy” approach to dressing for school.
“They are going to be online most of the time,” says Julie
Feldman, owner of Guys n Gals in West Bloomfield. “They’
ll want
to look good, but also be comfortable. So, we’
re getting tons of
sweats and loungewear in bright, fun colors and tie-dyes.”
