Bonnie's Back to School Picks

There’s something magical about the start of a new school year. Fresh pencils, clean notebooks, and the excitement of seeing old friends (and making new ones!) all set the stage for a season full of learning, laughter, and growing up just a little bit more.

At Monkey Barrel, we’re celebrating all the back-to-school buzz with a collection of adorably smart outfits that Bonnie handpicked herself. Whether it’s their very first day or they’re headed back like seasoned pros, these pieces are made for photo ops, classroom adventures, and everything in between.

Apple Louisa Dress

We’re falling head over heels for this sweet and spirited back-to-school outfit! Featuring a royal blue knit tunic with puff sleeves and the cutest red gingham apple appliqués, this look is giving classic schoolhouse charm in the best way. A crisp white Peter Pan collar trimmed in red adds just the right touch of vintage flair.

Polly Play Dress

Looking for an easy everyday dress that still brings the fun? This bow print dress is a cheerful staple that’s ready for any adventure. Covered in a playful rainbow of red, yellow, blue, and green bows, this soft knit dress is as comfy as it is cute. Pair it with a bright red hair bow to complete this cute outfit.

Sir Proper's Rugby Romper

This bright royal blue tee is the perfect pick for your little one’s first day back—or their first day ever! Featuring an adorable yellow school bus applique with a classic red stop sign detail, this t-shirt brings the excitement of school days right to their closet.

We’d love to see your little ones all dressed up for the first day back!

Whether it’s their big kindergarten debut or just another year of looking cute and confident—tag us in your back-to-school photos so we can cheer them on too!
