There's no secret around here that I love clothes. The only thing that was disappointing about having a baby boy was the lack of creativity I felt when picking a baby wardrobe. When J was born and for the year to follow I leaned way toward baby traditional southern style. Complete with monogrammed bubbles, handmade Jon Jon's, and seersucker everywhere. I love that beachy southern style of summer time! I don't really like babies in "man clothes" I wanted my baby to look like a baby, he has the rest of his life to look like a man.
Now that my boy is getting a little older, I'm mixing in more and more big boy clothes. I struggle a little with "his" style and what suits him. We have a good mix of All American Boy (Gap, Toms, Polos), Longalls for Fall and dressy holiday wear, and we are growing a collection of comfy boy pants and tshirts (probably his favorite- he thinks leggings are "jamas").
It really is fun to dress a boy. Who needs a girl? (although that'd be fun too)

I couldn't wait for it to be cool enough for my boy to wear the outfit below and finally last week we hit the low 70's and on went the sleeves!

ReplyDeleteBoys are super fun to dress....I'm too "old fashioned" to put them in leggings, but I think they are still super cute!
ReplyDeleteLove those knee patches! And I love boy clothes...except for cartoon characters. :)
ReplyDeleteLove the Boy Genius shirt and the striped leggings with leather. I would actually pair those together if I could.
