Ah, March Spring Break…what a beautiful thing. Grey and I decided to take full advantage, escaping the polar vortex and heading to Florida for some fun in the sun. A magical decision that resulted in trading one sartorial dilemma (is five layers of clothing enough to combat single digit temps?) for another (what do I buy for Grey because he has grown five inches since last summer?).
I know I can be a bit insane when it comes to color palettes and perhaps even worse when it comes to clothing so, in an effort to keep him styled and work with his increasing interest in choosing what to wear each day, I came up with a game plan to satisfy both our needs.
The strategy: purchase only items that coordinate and curate the existing selection (aka my version of garanimals). I picked a color palette of heather blue, gray, lavendar, black, khaki and white and bought separates in solids, stripes and florals that all work together. No matter what he chooses to wear, he will look coordinated and I will feel calm. In my opinion, It’s not crazy, it’s compromise.
