A sale on cute back to school clothes for boys before school even starts? We'll take it.
For a while now, we've been fans of Little Dudes Only, one of the first online shops we've found that specializes just in cool clothes for boys. (So stop yer complainin', mamas of boys--we've got you covered.) What's better is when they have a sale, and right now it's a pretty nice one. They've put together an nice selection of back-to-school clothes for boys, which happen to all be 20% off for a limited time, along with the rest of the shop. My picks include the super popular Madpax backpacks (shown here), the Mini Shatsu "On Tour" Keyboard Sweatshirt,  the 80's skateboard styling of the Appaman Roll Bounce Jacket which is already on sale, a very funky double plaid shirt from Fore! Axel and Hudson, and their always robust selection of fun tees including an uber-awesome Japanese Batman tee.

Some of the items here are a little splurgey, some are a lot splurgey. Which is why that discount is nice. Also, you have to check out the National Geographic Tee which--well, yeah. So cool. Only it's really not for little dudes only. -Liz Save 20% through 8/14 on cool back-to-school clothes for boys at Little Dudes Only with code ABC123 at checkout.
