Back to school clothes for under $20 that look like you spent a whole lot more.

1. Belted Sweater Dress (above) Attention everyone in my daughter's kindergarten: Prepare to see her wearing this a lot this year. The knit is soft and comfy, and the fit is way more flattering in person than it seems from the photo. On sale for $15.


2. Canvas Faux-Pocket Sneakers. Rugged, masculine, adorable with that little pocket. If you don't mind lacing up sneakers on your little man, these are a huge score at just $16.50 and all three colors are fab.


3. Hipster Atari Tee. Looks and feels just like the trendy $45 ones we see all the time. Only it's $8.99. So buy five?


4. Black skinny jeans for older girls. Great cut, and the black wash is so hot. If the fit works for your kid, grab another pair in a different wash, like the distressed denim skinny jean. $19.50


5. Boys Plaid Shirts. How can you not dig that retro speedway motors graphic on back? If you paired them with expensive jeans and shoes, no one would know you didn't get the shirt at some overpriced shop in Santa Monica. $14.50.


6. Jersey Fleece Moto-Jacket The hard edge of a motorcycle look gets a smart, kid-friendly makeover with fleece. Kristen's daughter owns one and I might have to get two so my girls don't fight over it. On sale for $20.


7. Hooded Curled-Edge Sweaters I looove the Scandinavian chic of these chunky sweaters, especially in this bold purple. Wondering what to pair with jeggings this season? There you go. Just $15 but limited sizes left.


8. Boys Cargo Jeans Not every boy will embrace the skinny jeans, so it's nice to see a stylish cargo jean for just under $20. I like the darker wash but you've got two to choose from.


9. Ruffled Baby Cardigan Of all the colors, I think the white works particularly well even if the brown is more practical. (Eh, practicality is overrated.) It's 100% cotton so just toss it in the wash if it gets anywhere near tomato sauce. $15.


10. Girls Denim Jacket If your daughter doesn't have this staple piece yet, now you have the incentive. I nabbed this classic dark denim jacket for my five year-old earlier this year, and I just love the slightly cropped cut.  $19.50
