LIFESTYLE | Autumn 2016 Toddler Capsule Wardrobe
Clockwise from the top left: Stuffed Monkey became this seasons favourite. (He was a stuffy of mine that I was willing to get rid of and my mother, Zoës Grandma, did not want to see go. She slyly let Zoë take it home with her on a day she came down with a fever...sneaky grandmothers...), Blue/Grey light jacket | A gift from Auntie from Korea, Grey hair band | Carters, Grey hoodie sweater | Kids Gap, Flower Baseball Shirt | Carters , Duckie/Chick Halloween Costume | Winners, The Secret Life of Squirrels Book | Gift from Great Aunt & Uncle during a visit, it makes us all laugh. Slip on Shoes | Joe Fresh, Jeans | Second hand from a boy at Church (they are girl jeans). Girlfriend Jeans | Carters (they did not fit this season due to the width), Plaid Shirt | Carters, Polka Dot Pants | Gift from Auntie from Korea, Grey Flower Dress | Carters, Blue Romper | Joe Fresh, gift from Grandma.
I am finding more and more that no matter how many clothes my child has, it is those few favourites along with the few that work and fit so perfectly that end up being worn over and over again.
It was fun to go out and purchase a halloween costume for her this year and a few Autumn staples like the Plaid shirt and the baseball long sleeve shirt. It was even fun to have her Auntie to return from Korea with a few clothing goodies. Polka dots on a toddler girl is immense fun.
The biggest realization after Autumn was over was that it was time to go buy more socks. Summer, the season of bare feet, is officially over. After the first few colder weeks I realized four pairs of socks on rotation were not going to cut it. So we went out and bought a few more pairs and of course are constantly loosing them...
Toddler socks are so so small.
I just love seeing her seasonal life come to a close like this.
If anything, these are great memories.
