First grade

by Sofia   -   in Random

Here´s to a new beginning! Cotton Candy´s first day of school. Ever. So exciting! Let´s hope these kids we are raising will change this world for the (even) better. 

Do you still remember your first day of school? I remember mine very distinctly. I remember what I wore and I remember what my friend wore. Well, she wasn´t my friend yet then but we became friends later on and still are ( love you M!). Let´s just say that I wore a pleated skirt and mary janes and had a very long hair and she wore cut off jeans shorts, a colourful stripy t-shirt and a chain belt. And she had a very very short hair, shorter than most of the boys. But she was too pretty to be a boy ( although I wasn´t quite sure at first). She was the smartest kid in our class and she still is. And to this day ( although she has long hair now) you could absolutely see her wearing a colourful stripy t-shirt and me in a pleated skirt. I think she has never owned a pleated skirt. But it has never been the point of our friendship. I hope Cotton Candy also keeps her first grade friends for life.

Back to school ensembles

by Sofia   -   in Good things for kids  Shopping

Te ehdittekin jo hieman toivoa, että blogi palaa syksyn mukanaan tuomaan rutiiniin ja tässähän sitä sitten on näitä syysjuttuja ihan kahden päivän edestä heti alkuun. Keräilin pientä inspiraatiota kouluasuista. Meillähän tosiaan esikoinen aloittaa nyt ensimmäisellä luokalla ja kuopus jatkaa vielä päiväkodissa. Nämä asut käyvät molempiin hyvin ( paitsi ei tietenkään päiväkodin pihavaatteiksi, ei meillä sentään mennä ballerinoissa hiekkalaatikolle). Toivottavasti saat myös näistä kokonaisuuksista hieman ideoita syksyn asuihin!

I gathered a few different outfits for school and pre-school. We will not have all of these but we do have some and we have similar outfits in the closet already. I chose some pretty shoes for the outfits because I could but obviously our almost 5 year old does not wear ballerina shoes for the sandbox.

This outfit is from Cyrillus. I like a basic blue jean in a stretchy fabric for kids. This knitted top has a chambray collar and a lovely burnt orange colour.

This dress I have already ordered as it was too perfect to pass ( my favourite for this fall!). It´s a knitted cotton fabric with pretty peter pan collars with a piping. I like it with tights or even socks for warmer weather and ankle booties. This outfit is also from Cyrillus. Bubble Gum has planned on wearing it with her silver cat ear hairband from La Coqueta Kids.
