guest post: back to school @ 529!

You don’t have to break the bank to get all you need for your kiddos to start the new school year. Our favorite must-haves for a successful back-to-school season are: A cool lunch bag/box, a big hair bow, fun nail polish, a lightweight jacket and a warm sweater We carry these must-haves both on consignment and in our full-retail shop.

Stop by 529 Kids Consign Old Town or Hollin Hall today to pick up these fabulous items! Grab a new book while you are visiting us..they never go out of style!

A cool Lunch Bag and Bento box
We love the bento boxes and matching lunch sack from Sugar Booger. The whimsical designs are perfect for your pre-schooler or elementary school kiddo. Help clean up the environment by using these in lieu of paper and plastic bags! Bento boxes are $7 and Lunch Sacks are $18. Pick up a snack sack too!

A lightweight jacket
Come grab a fleece or hooded sweatshirt for those chilly mornings at the bus stop or on your walk to school. They are comfy and perfect to toss into the backpack once your child reaches school. This red one on Hayden is by Columbia and you can get it @ 529 for $10-$14.

A sweater or vest
We love the way Ethan looks in this bright red sweater vest from Ralph Lauren. Throw it over a summer tee with shorts and extend the life of your summer wardrobe, but also keep them warm during the cooler fall days. Ralph Lauren vest @ 529 for $10-$12. Charlie’s is extending her summer wardrobe with this sweater from Baby Gap for $16.99 @ 529 with this picnic skirt from Tea Collection, that sells for $12.99!

A big hair bow
Charlie’s navy hair bow works perfectly with any outfit or uniform. Grab one in your school’s color. They retail for $12 @ 529.

Piggy Paint
What little girl doesn’t love nail polish! Piggy paint is non-toxic, dries quickly and removes easily. For the little girl in a uniform this is the perfect way to show off her individual style! Grab a fun fall color @ 529 for $8.99

Megan’s career in retail/merchandising began in the mid nineties standing in front of a woodsy smelling Abercrombie and Fitch. Sporting an oversized plaid flannel and bootcut jeans she said hello to every customer that eagerly walked in to the popular retailer. Little did Megan know that, while creating a perfect “denim wall”and dressing in all of the latest fashion that the lifestyle brand offered she was building the foundation for her fun and exciting career! After graduating from the University of Pittsburgh, Megan managed multiple A&F stores before she moved on to an assistant buyer position in contemporary dresses at the local Arlington based retailer Hecht’s (now Macy’s). She gained an immeasurable amount of knowledge before moving onto a different facet of the business at Calvin Klein Jeans. Megan worked her way from retail coordinator to East-Coast regional manager helping to create the Calvin Klein aesthetic in department stores from Boston to Miami. After her first son Ethan was born, her position at CKJ was eliminated, due to the harsh economic conditions at the time. This is how 529 was born! Megan quickly began to see how fast Ethan was growing out of his clothing. She knew other moms had the same amount of adorable “gently-worn” clothing piling up. Combining her love of retail and her obsession with dressing Ethan gave her the idea to try and sell this clothing. 529 became a popular “pop-up” shop in the Alexandria area and once the following was big enough, a brick and mortar store in historic Old Town. 529 Kids Consign exemplifies who Megan is and what she has learned throughout her career. It’s a warm, well-organized, well- edited boutique that attracts moms from all over the DC metro area. On any given visit to the store you may be greeted by three boys dressed to the nines..they too have the passion.
