    It’s a family affair this back-to-school season! Actors and musicians Ashlee Simpson Ross and Evan Ross along with their adorable children, star in DSW’s 2024 back-to-school campaign! As a mom, Ross loves the convenience, styles and brands (especially Jessica Simpson!) offered at DSW. “When I’m shopping for back-to-school shoes I’m looking for comfort and cute style,” said Ross. “My kids wear uniforms to school, so their shoes are a great way for them to express their personalities.” Read more in Footwear News. https://lnkd.in/e8t-ryi6
