Thanks to Sears Canada and the Sears Days sale (March 20 to April 6) for inspiring the hunt for the perfect kiddie looks.
Ah, Spring.
I am so happy to see Spring this year that I don’t even begrudge it the foot-deep blanket of twigs that covers my front lawn courtesy of this past winter’s ice storm. Nor will I complain about the afternoon-long clean up of all the wrappers and cigarette butts and miscellaneous garbage that was blown onto my property over the winter. And of course, that’s all just a precursor to the ludicrous spectacle of me trying to actually plant living things in the ground.
I am so deliriously happy to see Spring that I almost brought all three kids to my nearest Sears for a giant spring-clothes shopping extravaganza. (Because Sears Days! March 20th to April 6.) I could just picture it. All three kids trying on fun new clothes while I snapped pictures and made everyone on Instagram jealous of my beautiful family. We’d laugh and listen and no two-year-olds would run screaming down the aisles and pee in the ladies’ handbag section. My five-year-old and I would agree about every single clothing choice and my nearly eight-year-old son would actually want to be there.
Luckily, I pulled out of that hallucination just in time. I still prefer to shop in person, especially with three growing kids whose sizes I can never keep straight. But I’ll save the shopping trip for when I can squeeze in some special one-on-one time with them and use the great selection of children’s clothes available at Sear.ca to jump start the new season for everyone.
Check out what I was able to pull together.
I love mixing patterns these days, especially on my kids who can pull off anything. That’s a an OshKosh B’Gosh navy stripes tunic ($12.00), Girl Confidential tie-dye capri leggings ($12.99) and Converse Kids navy All Star high-top canvas sneaker (on sale for $22.74).
As one daughter gets ready to graduate from kindergarten and my baby is almost out of her crib, I suddenly realize that the days of sweet little-girl dresses are fleeting. Dress them up while you can, people. Dress them up while you can. That’s a Newberry dress (on sale for $29.99) and OshKosh B’Gosh Janie sandals ($35).
And nobody in the history of the world looks better in jeans and a t-shirt than a school-aged boy. I love this combination of a Converse stencil Chuck tee ($12.97), Levi’s skinny fit jeans in silver (on sale for $19.99) and Nevada camo skate shoes (on sale for $20.99).
Of course, sometimes you need to clean those boys up a little. (Although I don’t like to clean them up too much. They’re not mini stock brokers.) This feels just about right. That’s a Newberry 3-piece vest set (on sale for $17.99), Levi’s 511 Bedford skinny cords ($34.99) and OshKosh B’Gosh junior shoes ($35.00).
Oh, that was fun.
Remember that the Sears Days sales are only on until April 6, though. So grab those steals while you can.
