WHITE MAGIC

This post feels like déjà vu. The white vest and blue jeans combination is just to good to not have mentioned before. A really good white vest is key, and with kids clothes being so cheap, it's quite hard to find a good white vest that doesn't stretch out after the first wash. I have done my homework here, and can confidently say that the best buy is from Ackermans. You get these plain white vests in packs of two, they keep their shape, and they don't cost a fortune either.

RED, BLUE, RED, BLUE

 

I have been accused for being too matchy matchy, and this outfit just confirmed this to me. Everything is blue and red and red and blue... I need help. 

CREEPY CRAWLIES

My husband hates these shoes, and my boy just loves them. I think that for my husband, they are just too close to being Crocs for his fashionable comfort, but the boy thinks they look like bugs and that makes them cool! These shoes might look like Crocs, but theydefinitely are not. In actual fact they are rip-offs found in Dullstroom's general dealers - Arbee's Supermarket. This place is a gem if you have some time, and don't mind dusty fingers after picking your way through they layers of stuff collected over the years. A few more finds from Arbee's will be shown as soon as it gets a little colder.  

KA-KA

The little guy is totally obsessed with cars, or Ka-Ka as he like to call them. My sister caught onto this and did us a huge favor by buying him a jersey with some Ka-Ka (not Poo-Poo) on the other day. No he not only looks flippin cute, but he has his own set of cars on his tummy to look and point and shout at when he catches a glimpse in the mirror. Thank you sis! 

DOUBLE TROUBLE

What could be more fun than to wear stripes with stripes. I think the rule here is to keep the colors similar to avoid that seeing double, hung-over feeling. The longs sleeve top is from Woollies, and the navy and white stripes cargo pants are from Jet - a present his great uncle gave his last year some time.

PRISON BREAK

I did a really bad thing... I bought these boy's leggings from Country Road, and it cost me a small fortune. I have been obsessed with finding legging for my boy for a long time now after seeing some super cute kiddies from the other side of the world looking cool in these. After spending way too much time in the malls searching for boys leggings, I finally found these and just had to have them at any cost! I'm happy though - no buyers' remorse here. They remind me of those prison undies people wore in movies like "Oh Brother, Where Art Thou?" - one of my best movies ever.

HAWAII NOT QUITE FIVE-0

I'm just itching to get the little guy into the stack of winter warmers I have been collecting, but in the meanwhile I'm very happy to have such great weather. Grandma came over with this new t-shirt picked up from the Woolworths sale for a steal, and the shorts are a pair that's finally fitting the little guy, brought here all the way from Hong-Kong. The Woolworths sale is amazing!!! Grandma also bought two great pairs of jeans which were marked down to only R34.00 each. Holy cow that's less than what you would pay for a good sandwich these days.
