I hope no-one ever feels sorry for me for not having any little girls to primp and style. I know I’d love a daughter, but I have enough trouble picking out my own outfits each day (hence my ever-present ‘active wear’!) and dressing my two big/little guys really is so much fun! Doubly so when you can go shopping without them every now and then.
The glorious weather we enjoyed last week was all the motivation I needed to head in-store to The Warehouse and get Nixon’s summer wardrobe rolling. As I was shopping alone (did I mention how awesome this elusive opportunity was?!), I was hoping to create a Toddler Capsule Wardrobe.
There are so many stylin’ tops and bottoms in the boys Summer Range this year that it was quite hard having to narrow down everything I grabbed off the racks and condense my ideas into just four outfits. But, I did it and I love each of these looks! The secret to creating the ultimate Mix ‘n Match toddler wardrobe is shopping for neutral shorts that can be worn with all of the tops.
Look #1 Hitting the Beach to Throw Sand at Your big Brother (who can’t retaliate!)
1. WZ Singlet Animal $12 (Check in-store), 2. WZ Denim Shorts $12, 3. Basics Canvas Play Shoes $5
I loved this singlet when I picked it up, mesh detail on the yoke and a super cool retro-sports-vibe which our family is ALL about! The sweet little denim shorts look long in the stock photo but are actually a very cute shorter length. Love!
Look #2 Visiting Poppa and Dazzling him with my Fancy Shirt (so he doesn’t notice me terrorising his cat)
1. WZ Printed Plane Shirt $18, 2. WZ Joshua Shorts $20, 3. Basics Canvas Play Shoes $5
This little button-up is the BEST. The all over print is so on-trend and is perfect for all of those summer BBQ’s and maybe even Santa photos! The Joshua shorts are so good I got them in two colours, they are a heavy, stretch fabric that won’t crease and will be super comfy for all of that toddler-squirmy-goodness!
Look #3 Cruising Christmas Parades and avoiding Santa at ALL costs!
1. WZ Split Front Tee $12, 2. WZ Vinny Shorts $25, 3. Hippo + Friends Check Shoes $15
I love Nix in black, and this graphic tee with mesh detail is the best, paired with those little slip-ons!!! I die. The Vinny denims are a great, hard-wearing option for a full-on kid like Nixie.
Look #4 Ready to Hustle Hand Stamps from Whomever is Holding (preferably a pretty lady)
1. WZ Yoke Stripe Tee $12, 2. WZ Joshua Shorts $20, 3. Hippo + Friends Check Shoes $15
The mix of fun neon with classic navy tripes is a total winner. This shirt is bright so works perfectly with toned down, neutral shorts like the Joshua in khaki.
So cute right? Every season when I head in to The Warehouse for some dedicated clothes shopping, I leave completely sorted and so happy that I was able to cross so much off my shopping list in just one store! I will be going back to spend some time in the women’s section as I spied this and this (both of which I NEED to complete my Mum uniform lol).
I would love to hear where you are shopping for your summer staples and seasonal trends as the weather warms up! Leave me a comment below with your shopping hotspots xx
