Shopping in Style

Here's my cute baby in garage sale Naartjie.

Tillie's wearing her H&M bird leggings with a Gap ruffle skirt, crewcuts tee and Dear Grace & Parker bow.  I love how versatile these leggings are.  She's worn them so many different ways!
Rosie is wearing a Build-a-Bear dress and headband.

50* Means Spring Clothes!

Sure, it was still 30* when we left for church, but the sun was out!  At least I haven't made them start posing for pictures outside.  Soon, though...

Teddy's wearing an Okaïdi button-up, crewcuts layering tee, Gap jeans(thrift store!) and navy TOMS.
This is the face he makes when you ask him to smile.

Beatrix is wearing a Janie & Jack Sweet Coral Reef dress($1 at OUAC) and Janie & Jack Tea Time cardigan(came with a swing top set from OUAC).  Her Circo shoes were Tillie's Easter shoes.  Her felt bow is a new design from Dear Grace and Parker that I clipped on a velvet headband.  

Tillie's outfit is a good example of how inexpensive pieces come together for a great looking outfit!  Her dress I bought yesterday at H&M for $5.  That's the regular price.  I bought the Boden "pretty cardigan" for $8 at a JBF sale last week.  (Here's a cute one for $10 at H&M.)  Her crewcuts necklace was a hand-me-down from my sister, but it's not hard to find inexpensive cute necklaces for girls.  Her Circo cat shoes I got on clearance last year for $5.  Silver shoes are awesome because they match so much!  Tillie picked out the yellow bow, since there are some yellow flowers on the dress.  I like that she picked that over pink or purple.  It's a little unexpected and really makes the outfit,  I think.

It's a Spring Tee Kind of Day

The warmer weather is so close I can taste it.  40+* next week?!  I'll take it!

Today the big kids are wearing crewcuts tees.  Teddy's jeans are H&M and Tillie's are Gap.  Her bow is DreamSpun.

Short Sleeves with Layers

I am so ready for spring clothes.  Of course, we still got 3 inches of snow today!

Beatrix is wearing a Naartjie outfit(garage sale) over an Old Navy bodysuit.

Teddy's wearing a crewcuts tee over an H&M long sleeved tee and Carter's gray skinny jeans.

Lazy Saturday

We have a lot of randomness going on today.  The kids stayed home all day, so I let them wear whatever they wanted.

I helped Teddy pick out a crewcuts car tee and Gap jersey pants.  Beatrix is wearing a Hanna Andersson playdress I got at Goodwill.  Tillie is wearing an Old Navy tunic with boutique leggings.  Not her best match, but whatever.

They were all trying on their new Zulily TOMS that arrived this morning.

Romper to Layering Tank

I bought Beatrix this Tea romper at OUAC for $1.  It's 6-12 months and if she had grown like Teddy I could have gotten it on her in June at least!

Instead, I layered a Janie & Jack cardigan and Gap jeans over it.

Tillie's worn this outfit many times before(I love it more than she does though), but I think that the cardigan may need to be packed away soon.  Her jeans are H&M and will definitely be too short before her birthday.  Time to look for some H&M coupon codes!

Day 2

Today Tillie wore the DreamSpun vintage tee she wore on the 14th last year.  This time she paired it with a Crazy 8 cord skirt and Circo leggings.

Teddy wore a Carter's tee with H&M knit-waist jeans.

Beatrix wore a Gap Love chambray dress with pink BabyLegs.

Cream and Gold

Tillie is the only one who went to church this morning. She wore a cream Gap tee, gold crewcuts tutu and pearl necklace, H&M bird leggings and gold Circo boots.

All Smiles

Every morning when I show Beatrix what she's wearing that day she smiles, laughs and claps.   It's so fun.  My happy girl is wearing a lot of Gap today.  The leggings are from the Galacia line.  Her bow is Inspired by Olive Zoelle.

Even though last night Tillie deemed this outfit "fall", she was happy to wear it today.  It's a Mini-Boden pointelle tee, Crazy 8 cord skirt, H&M bird leggings, Gap boot socks and Target fuggs.

So Blue

Ted-Ted is wearing an H&M shirt with Gap cords.  His striped socks are Circo.

Go Knights!

My three are all decked out in Calvin gear for the Hope-Calvin game today.

Bea - Calvin hoodie(hand-me-down from Tillie), Gap jeans, See Kai Run shoes, Dear Grace & Parker headband
Til - Calvin tee, Old Navy tee, Gap skirt, Gymboree leggings, Circo boots, Dear Grace & Parker bow
Ted - Calvin tee, H&M jeans, Carters' boots

Chambray

We went out for brunch this morning and I just wasn't feeling any of Bea's clothes.  (I know, shut up.)  I found this Gap Love Collection dress in her closet and decided to try it on even though it's 12-18m.  It's big, but it worked since she's tall.  I found it at Goodwill for a $1.  I couldn't believe it!  I wanted to buy it last year at Gap, but since she didn't need it I resisted.  (See Tim, I don't buy everything I want.)  Her leggings are Gap Galicia and her boots are Gap as well.  (I never did figure out what line they're from.  I bought them last winter.)  Her clip is Little Sweet Pea Crochet.  (Parentheses.)

Tillie's wearing a Lands' End chambray swing top I got at Once Upon a Child with H&M bird leggings and Circo fuggs.  Her clip is Little Sweet Pea Crochet.

Sweaters For All

Oh my Ted.  He didn't want to pose for me.  He's wearing a Gap Sag Harbor cardigan, H&M button-up, Gap jeans and his new Carter's snow boots.

Tillie's wearing a Gap Elysian Fields sweater and Gap jeans.  I would have had her wear boots, but it's snow boots on the playground and sneakers at school.

Bea's outfit is so cute, even cuter in person than the pictures.  She's wearing a Gap Ivy League dress, old Gap Outlet cardigan and See Kai Run maryjanes with a Dear Grace and Parker bow.

Stripes and Bows

Teddy's wearing some new Gap Playtime Favorites striped pants today.  They're too big and a 2t.  *sigh*  At least they have a real drawstring waist so I can tighten them.  He LOVES them.  Today we paired them with a crewcuts ship tee layered over a white tee from H&M.  When we ran errands he wore his navy TOMS.

Bea's wearing her 3-6m Gap Highlander outfit for the last time today.  It was an excuse to wear the new Dear Grace & Parker headband that came in the mail this morning.

First Snow

Today was the first snow that stuck on the ground, so we celebrated with our clothing choices.  (And, the snow reflects so much light that these pictures are badly lit and I didn't realize it until now.)

Tillie's wearing a crewcuts snowflake tee(the same she wore last year), H&M jeans amd snowflake TOMS(also wore last year).

I dug in Teddy's 3t bin for this Gap Alpine Lodge reindeer tee.  His Next lined jeans are also from the 3t bin and are huge, but they do have a drawstrig waist.  Once he tried them on he wouldn't let me take them off.  Later he wore gray french terry Carter's pants and they fit better.

Beatrix is wearing an Old Navy reindeer romper that Tillie wore for her first Christmas.  It's a 6-12m, but runs a little small so I'm glad it snowed so she could start wearing it.  I'm not sure it will fit in 1.5 months!

Stargyle and Flowers

It's so much easier to take outfit pictures now that Beatrix can sit.  Today she's wearing a Kicky Pants outfit I got at a garage sale, Robeez and a Dear Grace & Parker headband.

Teddy's wearing an H&M Stargyle cardigan, crewcuts polo and Gap jeans.

Fall Church

Here's my sweet Bea in a Carter's dress and cardigan my mom bought for Tillie when she was little.  The Gap Chelsea boots were Tillie's too, but the ruffle socks are all Bea's.

Tillie's wearing a Gap Elysian Fields sweater dress, Gymboree knee socks and Circo cat shoes.  I wish her socks had been navy so this outfit didn't look so "Go-Go", but she was happy.  The headband kept falling off this time, so once we got to church I just put the navy clip in.

Teddy's wearing an H&M button-up with blue Gap cords.  I bought the pants on super-clearance awhile ago.  I wish I had them in another color or two because they fit him really well.

Happy Sunday!

Yikes!  The last week of summer!  And it kind of feels like summer is over since Tim has students tomorrow.  I'm glad that Tillie doesn't start until after Labor day this year.  I guess I better break out all the summery-summer outfits I can this week!

Bea is wearing a Ralph Lauren dress that was a gift from my friend Amy.  It's even prettier in person.

Ted-Ted is wearing his Matilda Jane/Mighty Acorns Little Os overalls.  I don't love it with the white H&M shirt under it, but I didn't think it would work without a shirt for church.  I used safety pins on the straps this time since I had to re-button them every 5 minutes last time he wore them.

I bought Tillie this Tea Collection dress at Once Upon a Child's $1 sale 2 years ago.  It's a size 3, but runs super-wide.  This is the first year that it fits in that regard.  It's now a little short, but I don't mind short lengths.  There are pink stitched stars on it that are hard to see.  It's prettier in person, but I just don't "love" it.  But, when you find Tea for $1 you buy it.

Also, she's 5 going on 15 in this picture.

Long Sleeves

I laid out all of the kids clothes for the whole week last Friday.  This morning I had to dig in their drawers to find long sleeves for layering!

Ted's worn this crewcuts "Sea Legs" tee and Gap Americana shorts recently, but I really love the two pieces together.  Also, since Til is wearing a shirt about the sea, I thought it would be cute to match.

Tillie's is wearing a crewcuts outfit with a "The sea is my home" tee and cowgirl shorts.  The gold Salt-Waters were from J.Crew sale a couple years ago as well.

Little Bea is wearing a Gap striped dress I got for 50 cents at the thrift store.  Paired with a red Dear Grace & Parker bow, she's a reverse flag.

Teddy spilled his grape juice at breakfast and Tillie was complaining about the sequins itching, so they both wanted to change clothes by 9:15.  Fine.  I pulled out the staff kid shirts from 2 years ago and added a Gap Surf skirt for Tillie and Osh Kosh jeans for Teddy.  If I had been thinking I would have saved yesterdays striped Mini-Boden baggies for Ted, but that might have been over the top matching anyway.

Patriotic Cherries

Today my little Bea is wearing a Carter's hand-me-down from Tillie.  I *think* this was also a gift from my friend Linds.  Her bow is Dear Grace and Parker.

Here's a close up of the bow, so that you can see the cute "polka-stars".  (Also, she's growing long eyelashes like her older siblings.)

Tillie's happily coordinating in her H&M cherry dress.  We accessoried with a Dreamspun bow, crewcuts necklace and Salt-Water sandals.

Teddy's wearing a crewcuts striped tee with Gap Cannes shorts.  Since we were going into town instead of staying at Camp he's wearing his TOMS.
