I don't know if I've mentioned it or not but Miller is starting preschool this fall! While I'm a little nervous about sending him to school I know he's going to love it and thrive. He's such a social kid and I know this will be so good for him.
One thing I'm super excited for is his fall wardrobe for back to school! We still have a few more weeks of warm weather here but the cold weather will be here before we know it so I know I need to stock up now.
Here are some staples that I love and I know will take us through the winter:
As you know I like to dress my boys preppy but not break the bank (too much) and I've had pretty good luck with Carter's, Gap, and Old Navy lately.
I'm very picky about polo shirts and prefer the pique over jersey and
Old Navy has the best selection of them. You can usually find them as cheap as $6 and the long sleeve are perfect for winter. They also now sell uniform ones that do not have the ON logo on them so you could easily add a monogram :) Gap is my go-to for
sweaters and
button downs. They can be a bit pricier but if you wait for sales you can get lucky. They also really hold up to wear and tear so I'm willing to pay a little more.
Carter's does a much better job on older infant/toddler/boy clothes than they do on little baby boy clothes. Miller is tall and very skinny and Carter's have been the only pants he can wear so I'm hoping this hold true this season. We loved the
twill and
corduroy pants last winter so I know we'll get a ton of use out of these this year. Those
vests- both from Carter's are just calling my name! How adorable would the fleece one be paired with the striped rugby polo?! Preppy perfection!
Shoes! I have a crazy thing for kids shoes which is weird because I'm not shoe obsessed for myself. I love those
Ralph Lauren sneakers for something a little nicer. The
Tucker and Tate oxford is perfect for special occasions and church. I'm dying for a pair of
Uggs for Miller. I know they're so expensive and not practical but ahhh they're so cute! I'm always a fan of
New Balance and these navy ones would be perfect.
Do you back to school shop for your kids? Where are your favorite places to shop? I went to private school my whole life so back to school shopping only ever meant school supplies until I went to college!
