Capsule Wardrobe for Children

I am only on year two of shopping for a toddler, so I am by no means an expert, but there are a few things I have learned with each new season. If you are a new parent, you will quickly find out shopping for a toddler or child is definitely seasonal, and it’s usually a complete overhaul. This is completely different than shopping for an adult unless you are lucky enough to get a completely new wardrobe with every season.

There is a catch 22 with this situation because who wants to spend 1000’s of dollars on a new wardrobe, but I also want my kids to look cute. I have two kids now and unfortunately Chloe’s clothes are not always going to work for McNeal.

Introducing the capsule wardrobe, which I usually always use for trips, but it definitely applies here. Here is an example of what I am talking about:

1 Shirt, 4 outfits. I make sure that I keep everything in the same color palette so things can be interchangeable. I usually have either all white tops in the summer and black in the winter. If it’s a pattern it has to have all of the colors to work with everything.

Now for the fun part, where do I get all of these clothes and whats my strategy.

  • Old Navy is my go to for colored jeans
  • I am guilty of purchasing one nice pair of blue jeans from Nordstrom annually, I usually purchase one size up to ensure she will be in them all year.
  • Amazon’s children’s clothes are great (top in the above pic is from there) I do find that you have to search a bit more, but I’m particular on the style I’m looking for. If you find one item you like, you can search the similar items and it usually follows that style item.
  • Native shoes in spring summer and fall are a must (easy to clean and durable.
  • Dress shoe Amazon or Chu’s are my favorite
  • Sneakers-Converse in Fall & Winter
  • Boots we have purchased from H&M who also has great kids clothes at a good price.

All in all this encompasses the basic everyday wardrobe, but of course there are a few other places I monitor for sales or clothes we can’t miss out on.

Where do you get your children’s clothes? If anyone has tips on boy clothes I would love them!

Amazon Little Girl Tops

I have purchased most of these tops, but the only one in so far in the white one. I’m super impressed with the quality for the price, so I would definitely purchase one if you are in the market!

Most Versatile Golden Goose Sneakers-Are they worth the hype?

These were actually my first pair of Golden Goose Sneakers that I purchased. I was hesitant because they would by far be the most expensive sneaker I have ever owned, and was of course nervous to hit the purchase button.

However, I am so glad that I did! I lived in them last year, and because of the cut of the shoe I could dress them up or down and they elevated every look. I know it sounds corny, but I loved them so much that I clicked the purchase button again on another pair, and am currently looking at purchasing a midrise pair for some cropped jeans and dresses.

When you are in the market for a pair, there is a reason that they sell out so quickly. They hold up well, and don’t show wear and tear, so if you are looking to make an investment in a pair or sneakers these are a great option.

    Citizen Cropped High Rise Jeans

The Citizen Cropped High Rise Jeans are the perfect pair for petites and medium height individuals. I did a full IGTV on @splashofchic that has all the details of this purchase. They are currently on sale on Mytheresa.com. I love these jeans, for a petite girl they hit me around the ankles, so if you want that shorter look you might have to get them altered an inch or so. These jeans come from Citizen’s Organic Line, and they feel great! Check out my instagram for more details and you can purchase here.
