“ Back To School” In Style At
Sears Kids & More
“ Back to school” for kids means
summer is over, a time for new friend­
ships, annual physical and eye exams,
studying and showing off new fall ward­
robes. For Sears Kids & More, “back to
school” is a fashion event that will earn
kids high marks and fit mom’s and
dad’s budget.
The classic look for kids will be
important this fall, but there will be
some fresh and updated interpretations
to make the grade as bold and lively
colors lead the class, said John Duvic,
Sears national merchandising manager
of children’s apparel.
“Important themes for fall include
plaids, hearts, flowers and bears, Clan
plaids and appliques update traditional
looks. Hearts and flowers are updated
with trims and colors, but remain a
constant favorite for young ladies,
whether young enough to still crawl or
old enough to ‘strut their stuff,” ’ said
Duvic.
All of Scars back-to-school ap­
parel is covered under the KidVantage
Frequent Purchase and WearOut War­
ranty program, which was introduced a
year ago. The wear-out warranty pro­
vides replacement of childrcn’sclothes
if the child wears it out while he/she is
in the same size. The frequent purchase
card earns discounts toward future pur­
chases.

rary concert footage to create an in-
