back to school for the boys

I love H&M, and it shouldn't come as a surprise as the boy's wardrobe is pretty much all H&M plus a little Janie + Jack here and there. Charlie is pretty skinny but 70th percent for height. He is turning three in October and fits in size 12-18 months. I sized up and bought his back to school clothes in size 1.5-2-year-old so we can get more wear out of these. H&M runs very big. Charlie goes to a school where they spend most of the day outdoors. This rain suit is fantastic as they spend hours in the rain. We usually buy hunter rain boots, but they are pretty expensive, and H&M has very similar ones which I added.

I'm kind of in the less is more camp right now with kid's clothing. Charlie could care less around what he wears, and in the past, we've had too many options. I'm purchasing a bunch of these polo shirts which I plan on monogramming. His school uniform will consist of those + pants. Keeps our back to school process E-A-S-Y. I added some sweaters and sweatshirts for fall weather.

Back to school & little boys

Here are my little boy picks for back to school! They spend a ton of time outside at Charlie's new school so I included rain overalls. I didn't even know they existed, they are like snow pants but for the rain! I'm so happy I found them. I realized Charlie was pretty much out of clothing because I've been squeezing him into clothing from last summer. He will have a bunch of new options for his first year of school. I'm not that into busy character tops for kids but I find myself caving more and more because I know certain tops will make Charlie happy. He's not that into Disney characters yet but I included some fun options. Out of all of the busy or character tees we just got the one with the bus and one with tractors. H&M always has great Disney & Sesame Street options with out the $$$ price tags. All of the clothing below comes in baby - 4 years old. I'm a big fan of H&M for kids. They use organic cotton for some of their clothing and it seems to hold up better than some other popular baby brands I've tried. 

We got Charlie's backpack from Monogram Mary. It's navy seersucker and is going to have a truck on it with his name. I wanted to give him something he would be so excited about on the morning of his first day. Knowing Charlie he will be talking about his truck backpack all day long. She also makes a very cute pink seersucker option. You can shop the bags, HERE. There is also a matching snack pack & lunch box. You can shop them, HERE & HERE. She also makes a great children's tote. This is a great extra bag to send your child to school with or to keep at their school for an extra pair of clothes and things like that. You can find the tote, HERE.

BACK TO SCHOOL & GIRL PICKS

How cute is my niece?? I love shopping for little girls clothing. Everything is so adorable. If I had a little girl her style would definitely have some edge. My go to for most kids clothings is H&M. Surprisingly they do use nice material for many of their kids clothing, many items being made with organic cotton. I also have had good experience with H&M clothing lasting through multiple washes. Ford wears so much of Charlie's old clothing which is mostly H&M and it's still in great shape. I usually size up when buying kids clothing because I would like it to last as long as possible. Check out my top back to school picks below! These sizes range from baby - 4 years old.
