Street Rockin'

This picture is from B a little earlier in the spring (it has gotten hot all of the sudden, when did summer creep in?) and I love both the outfit and this shot of B.  He is wearing his skinny jeans from H&M, a pair of classic red Chuck hightops, his Young Americans tee from Pluto, and a sweater I found at a thrift store...I think it is from French Toast or something, one of those companies that makes uniforms for kids.....in fact all of these clothes, except the Chucks, which were a hand-me-down, were bought at thrift stores.  This whole outfit cost under $10. Oh, and the red sunglasses of course.  No idea where those came from, his Dad got them.

Baby Boy cracks me up. Look at his face in that first picture, I call it his boy face, I know when he makes it he is getting ready to be mischievous.  This spiderman shirt has been featured before, but the various boys in my life (especially his Dad who picked it out for him) geek out on it whenever they see it....I think it is the first appearance of spiderman or something like that anyway.  The pants are vintage, and I sort of forgot about them, but now B is almost grown out of them.

Boys!

I was reading the other day that boys start to develop testosterone at around age 3.....here is my sweet little boy and his friend from school enjoying each other's company.  B is wearing his fave Tea pants with one of his many Super Hero tees and "vintage" Reeboks.

"Vintage"

I never know how to dress myself this time of year, and now I have to figure out how to dress BB. I went for the sweater with shorts look today....I'm never sure about that, does it really work? I do like these "vintage" reeboks...vintage is another thing I am never sure about, these reeboks are about 5 years old, a hand-me-down, which makes them ancient in toddler years, but does that make them vintage? I see all these 80s clothes marked as vintage these days, but I still have some from my teen years...does that make me vintage? and is this how my mom felt when bell-bottoms came back in during the early 90s? Am I my mother? Vintage, such a fraught word.

Fashion Model Shot

This is from early fall, but I haven't caught up on all my pictures since the holidays! However, JW you wanted a new pic, so here it is.....PS The awesome stripey sweater is a vintage french number from yet another thrift store.

Super Vintage Boy

This is an actual vintage '80s Underoo tee, that I found at
the Salvation Army. It's paired with his Air walk Space Invader slip-ons.

1970s baby boy

A friend recently lent us Sesame Street, Old School. Both baby boy and I have been enjoying it, but I think the multi-cultural, controversial construction site playground, invisible Snuffleupegous, alphabet, counting, love -fest that was the original might be influencing the way I dress Baby boy. The green pants are from the sale rack at Lucky Wang and the shirt is from my recent Salvation Army obsession (99c!!!). 1970s sofa is ours.
