IT’S with growing dis-
belief that yow’ve been
listening to your chil-
dren list their “must-
haves” for back-to-
school style.

True, you probably never
wore face jewelry and body
wire, or carried messenger-
style book bags when you
were in school — but these
days ... all the cool kids have
got "em.

So to be sure that your
favourite kid fits in with the
tly crowd, here’s a list of
stuff — believe it — they'll
want.

Head scarves are the
thing for girls. Don’: look at
your daughter that way, the
triangle-tied head scarf is no
longer just for household
chores. It fits right in with
the newest trend: Bohemia.
Don’t be surprised if she
matches her head scarf with
beaded jewelry, a fringed vest
and a tie-dyed skirt.

Hoods continue to adorn
everything from sleeveless T-
shirts to zippered sweatshirts
