The folks suggesting Tea and Hannah -- which are lovely brands -- are missing the point that you want to move away from too-babyish clothes.
All the third graders at my DD's school (I realize yours might be a year younger) are wearing very "athletic" , casual clothes. Lots of leggings and joggers, sweatshirts, and hoodies. Tie-dye -- soooo much tie-dye --and smiley faces are HUGE! The girls just aren't wearing "play dresses" or the kinds of patterns you see at Tea and Hannah by starting right around this age.
My kids go to private school and can't wear leggings, joggers, sweatshirts, or hoodies, so they're all in dresses (in third).
