One of the most exciting parts of going back to school is new clothes. Even though Las Vegans need to wait almost two months to start wearing their fall threads, this still is the perfect time to shop. The sales are on, and the new styles are out.

"Mostly, I prepare for winter," said Hilary Williams, 16, an incoming junior at Foothill High School. Williams, who has three younger sisters, said the family is really good about finding sales. The girls each get a day with their mom to shop. And although the high schooler buys most of her clothes for the year before school starts, she said she shops for shoes year-round.
