Micro Fashion {Fall Favorites}

Fall is my favorite time of year for dressing my kids. It’s the best time of year for mixing and matching, layering and combining seasons, and of course mashing up patterns. Sometimes the best outfit is totally unplanned, or unmatched. Let your creative side run wild here!

Of course I am also a big believer in the simpler the better. But for the most part I let my boys help me pick their favorite pieces, then we style them together.

Here is a quick list of pieces I’m loving for the fall.

Faux leather leggings (For Aniston and Kemp)

Vests and here and here

Dusty blue

Mary Janes

Tall socks (Yes this is where all the shops are getting them from, don’t overpay!!)

Ripped Denim (Thrift some skinny jeans or get on major sale and rip em up)

Everything Zara 

Chunky sweaters

Doc Martens

Bonnets

Everything EWMcCall

Fringe Moccs from Starry Knight Design

Miniture Style

For every comment or email I get regarding my style I get 2 asking what my kids are wearing, or where I shop for them.  This makes me smile since they truly are the best “accessory” I could ever have. So here is the run down of stores I hit up, online shops to add to your favorites, and brands to keep an eye out for.

Jcrew “Crewcuts”

H&M

American Apparel

Target

Nordstrom & Nordstrom Rack

Saks Outlet

Zara

Marshalls & Tj Maxx

Gap Kids

Hello Apparel

Child Hoods

Little Boogaweezin

And then there is a list of brands that I love.  I pick these up wherever I find the best deals on them.

Gold Rush Outfitters

Styling little mini’s is so much fun! What I have found having two boys is that you don’t have to spend a fortune to make their wardrobe hip and current.  In my opinion a lot of times less is more! One of my favorite looks for Kemp is just denim, a ribbed tank,  a slouchy beanie, and chucks.   I love ordering my staple pieces from AA and then mixing them in with the goods I find along the way.  Our style is constantly changing as my kids are growing and getting their own “fashion opinions”.  One thing that will never change is my hunt for affordable quality.  If you have a brand you love I’m always looking to add more to my list!

ps. Right now American Apparel is offering 30% off for their friends and family sale when you sign up for emails. Jcrew is offering 25% off and kids clothes are mostly all free shipping!
