Last week I shared with you some tips for back to school shopping with your middle school Bombshell. This week, I have some great stores where your high schooler will be able to find cool clothes, in sizes 14+, that will help her make her mark.Just as with a middle schooler, it's important to let your teenage Bombshell use her clothes to express herself. While her style might not be your style (or the style you imagined for her), her wardrobe should be the least of your battles. Make sure that she's not channeling Britney Spears (too much skin, too sexy) but beyond that, let her work out the style kinks herself. 
Denim is, hands down, the most important collection that your high schooler will need to build. Check out Lane Bryant for a huge variety of cuts, washes and special edition jeans. High school is a great time to experiment with embellishment - embroidery, rhinestones and the like. And whether your teen has hit her growth spurt or is still waiting, you'll find cuts in petite, average and tall. The most versatile cut is bootcut, and Lane Bryant is known for theirs. It has a little bit of stretch to make the most of a Bombshell shape - you might want to pick up a pair for yourself while you're there!

Also at Lane Bryant, you'll find a great selection of basic tee shirts with a twist. And what Bombshell doesn't like a twist? Also check out Alloy for cute tees in sizes up to 3XL.
I would be completely remiss to talk about high school fashion without mentioning Torrid. This line's clothes are fun and edgy, perfect for teens. And the accessories are fantastic! So cute. Click here to browse and to find a store near you.
A teen can't live in tees and jeans every day (ok, some could). Click over to Alight for a wide selection of shirts by a variety of designers. For high schoolers, I like the labels Pink.Girl, One Step Up and Yoki. They design knit shirts with cute details, flowy tanks and hoodies.
For her first little black dress (to be worn to an awards banquet or out on her first big date), try Kiyonna. The dresses here can be pretty sophisticated so try to steer her toward something simple and well cut - it's never too early to learn the beauty of simplicity!
