    1. Thats more then enough. You can always shop throughout school dont get everything you see on sale because about ten other girlsattending your same school is getting that.

    2.JcPenny. Charlotte Russe. Hottopic. Delias. Rainbow. Payless. && Aerie. && Lots more.

    3. I already brought my clothes with my own money shoes and all. It all cost me a good 230.00 I shopped bargains and name brands.

    4. JcPenny. Wetseal. Ross. Rue21. TjMaxx. Kohls. Payless. Lady Footlocker. Macy's. Dillards.

    Don't complain, I have to pay for all of my own stuff and I have about $100 to work with...

    So...

    1) yes, it's enough, if you shop at the right places and in the right ways.

    2) I'm not sure about stores with good sales, but I'm sure in a week or two all the stores will have "back-to-school" sales if they don't already (they better!)

    3) Well I just buy what I want and really NEED since I've bought some stuff over the summer already. I'm planning on dedicating about $50 or $60 on two new pairs of shoes- converses and sandals or flats. Then I'm spending about $20 or so on one or two (hopefully two) new shirts, one of which I'd wear for the first day of school (: And then around $20 more on new earrings and a new necklace since I'm seriously lacking some and I looove jewelry. As for school supplies, not much over ten dollars- all I need are a few binders and notebooks and a box of pencils. I'm really not sure about the backpack, I might suggest that to my parents or grandparents as a birthday present since my birthday's in September.

    4) Charlotte Russe, American Eagle, Target, etc. I also love Delia's and Forever21, but then I'd have to order online, which will add a few dollars, and I buy from Urban Outfitters occasionally but right now I don't have enough money for it since I spent almost all my money on my new room (my new GORGEOUS room! lol). I would suggest looking in some department stores as well as local boutiques, you can buy such cute and one-of-a-kind pieces there!

    Don't get EVERYTHING before school even starts- from experience it's better to get a few things before school starts and then shop for more once you see what style you like and what others are wearing, and how cold or hot the school is lol.. just to be sure.

    Hope this helps! Good luck!

    well it depends on what stores you shop at. if you shop at abercrombie and hollister, no thats not enough, unless you only bought a few things. i would leave $100 out just for school supplies, wich gives you $200. that would be enough for places like american eagle, aeropostale, macys, old navy, kohls, etc. i dont know about sales, so sorry cant help you there. i shop at kohls, old navy sometimes, american eagle, hollister, aeropostale, victorias secret pink, and occasionaly abercrombie, but not that much. i usually spend $400-500 on clothes, supplies, shoes etc

    1) go to staples , you can get your school supplies from there , really cheap.

    and spend about 100 dollars on school supplies

    2) Now you have 200 dollars left right, you can go to Stitches, Urban Planet, Forever 21 and get clothes from there, and dont forget they have cheaper shoes there too so that would save up so money too;)

    good luck , and lucky to spend 300 dollars

    Yea it's more then enough!

    No I don't think there is look for buy one get one free sale.

    I usually spend anywhere around $150 - $200. IDK I don't really track it.

    I shop at Rue21, JCPenny's, WalMart, TJ Maxx and places like that. Once and a while you will find some good stuff at Ross

    ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS go shopping on tax-free weekend (july 31st) it will save you a lot of money. Try Target for clothes and school suplies.
