Summer Trends with The Children's Place

SUMMER IS ALMOST HERE!!  (Did I sound too excited about that?)  I LOVE summer!  No set schedule, lazy days & nights, pools, beaches, ice pops, etc.  Everything about summer is just awesome!

All school year, my kids wear a uniform.  Summer fashion is a must in our house.  The kids can dress themselves and express their own fashion sense (or lack there of).  I like to keep mix and match pieces in their wardrobe so that it's a no brainer with items that go together.  This is especially essential with "Little Ricky" because he tends to put things together that just don't go!

That's why I love shopping at The Children's Place for their fashion needs.  All of the items are able to mix nicely so that I don't have to cringe at their outfit choices.  I would love for the boys to wear the layered look.  You know, a graphic t with a plaid button down and a jean jacket on top.  How cute would they be?  So trendy.  



In the world of boys, their biggest contribution to the fashion world is mesh shorts and a team t-shirt.  Fun. 

My favorite piece at The Children's Place is the elastic waist shorts.  They are so versatile and are really roomy for the boys.  The wide variety of graphic t's come in all the latest trends that the boys want. 

Did I mention the price?  That's another reason why I love The Children's Place.  I can get them great clothing for a great price.  Their sales are out of this world.  Jeans can be as cheap as $10 and sometimes you can get t-shirts for as low as $2.  






The Children's Place has the cutest accessories for boys too.  I mean, who doesn't love a mini fedora and some aviator glasses?  How do I get my kids to wear them?




What fashion trends are you most looking forward to for summer?  Will you shop at The Children's Place for all your summer kids' clothing needs?

Fall Fashions From The Children's Place

My boys are getting older and they are voicing their own fashion sense (or lack thereof).  Now when I shop for the latest looks in children's wear, they are right there behind me making their own choices.

I like shopping at The Children's Place because I can be sure that the boys get what they need for the change of weather.  The prices are so great, that "Little Ricky" and "The Nag" can get some of the items that they want as well.

"The Nag" loves his superheroes!

"Little Ricky" thinks he's a gamer!

$10 on sale, how can you go wrong?

The jeans at The Children's Place are a must buy as well.  They always fit perfectly and they are well priced.  Not to mention that when they are on sale, they are so CHEAP!  

It all matches...LOVE IT!

Did you know you can get your kids their backpacks and lunchboxes too?  They are so roomy and durable...just what every mom wants.  They also come in cool patterns...just what every kid wants.  

I love the layered looks that are all the rage for the fall fashion season!  Preppy is what I like...kind of a sloppy tailored look.  SO CUTE!

 

And if you are already looking for your child's Halloween costume, check out the selection at The Children's Place.  Yes, they have those too!!

Aaarrr you ready for Halloween yet?

The Children's Place ~ A great place for winter!

Every year as the holidays approach, I get a little more wiser when shopping for the duds that my little dudes will wear.  When they were babies, I waited until right before the holiday and nothing was available.  Now that my "baby" is 6 years old, when I see a look that I like, I grab it!


Recently, I visited The Children's Place for a local blogger event.  Although the sparkle and lace from the girls' side was pulling me, I kept my composure and went to the boys' side where I belong.

There was a lot to choose from....from flannel shirts to sport coats.  I kept in mind the upcoming holidays and celebrations that we will have with family and friends.  Living in South Florida, you also have to keep in mind the weather...we never know if it will be hot or cold during the holiday season, so I like to have options.

Of course polo type shirts are a must have in any weather.  Pair it with shorts and you can go dressy or casual depending on the shoes.  Add a long sleeved t-shirt under and pair it with jeans and it's good for cooler weather.

I loved the lightweight v-neck sweaters!  They will come in handy for both the holidays and for school.

 I had to buy fleece pull overs in case the weather decides to drop below 70 degrees here.  (Don't judge, we have thin skin here in South Florida!)

I would LOVE to put my boys in this outfit....unfortunately, their father has a very LOUD opinion!!  Ho, hum....maybe I'll convince the boys that they like it and he can't say no to them!







Be sure to check out The Children's Place online for more winter and holiday ideas. You can also find ways to save money while shopping online or in stores. 

PS....A little something I would LOVE to buy, but sadly I cannot.....why do I torture myself?!

Disclosure:  I was provided a The Childrens Place gift card for attending the event.  No request to blog or social media exposure was asked by the store.  All opinions are my own.
