Back to School for Girls in 15 Items

Slip your protractor safely back into your pencil case because the math required to send pigtails back to school was covered in kindergarten.  The key to solving affordable fashion without blowing their college savings is the cluster.  More explicitly defined as a small sample size of symbiotic, interchangeable items yielding a full wardrobe.  No abacus or federal loans required.

Below a shopping list and theoretical application:

A – Heart Stripe Sweater (J.Crew $60), B – Tucker+Tate Angie Chambray Shirt (Nordstrom $38), C – Crochet Tank (H&M-In Stores Only $15, alternative), D – Down Vest (H&M-In Stores Only $25, alternative),  E – Chaps Coated Denim Crop Jacket  (Kohls $14, alternative), F – Glitter Ballet Flats (H&M $13),  G – Tom’s Classic Youth Slip-On (Nordstrom $38), H – Not So Skinny Dot Jeans (Hannah Anderson $34, alternative), I – Printed Capri Leggings (Old Navy $10), J – Everyday leggings in Heart Stack (J.Crew $25), K – Floral Chambray Dress (Old Navy $20), L – Striped Faux Gem Tee (Old Navy $15), M – Shiny Bow Hair Clip (Land’s End $6), N – Shiny Skinny Belt (Land’s End $10), O – Bakker Navy Big Canvas Satchel (Nordstrom $70)

That’s more than two weeks of outfits, no repeats.

Three Tools for Calm Parenting

Cleanliness is next to holiness in our home.  We practice daily immersion followed by the cuddling of squishy bodies in fluffy towels, lotioning of tiny limbs, and buttoning of tiny ensembles.  The process is clean and optimistic.  Five minutes later someone usually has a runny nose, a messy diaper, or a dirty shirt, but at least we had that moment.

It stands a familiar fact that accessories can make or break an outfit, the same is true for bath time.

I’ve been a devoted disciple to Puj since my three-year-old Coco twinned weight with a small cantaloupe.  Now my watermelon of a youngest son Oscar enjoys the benefits of hands-free bliss from a Puj trinity: the Puj Tub, the Puj Hug, and Puj Nubs.  If you’re unacquainted with the Puj Tub, proceed here.  Pair this with a Puj Hug, a soft fluffy, pristine white coc
oon intended to suspend from the bather’s neck.   Providing hands with uninterrupted access to baby flesh, not to mention acting as an apron to keep one’s ensemble dry.  Finish the experience with Puj Nubs, hooks which are ready to stick to any smooth surface, keeping your Puj Hug or any other item under 3 lbs off the floor.

Bath time just became slightly more sacred.
