I know I used to joke a while back that I would never have those  “all day” shopping trips that moms of girls have. But, I was wrong. My son is a fashion hound! He loves it. Every aspect of it he takes very seriously. We never push him to wear something he doesn’t like. Nor do we ever tell him he can’t wear something of his choosing.

He wears ties & bow-ties to school. Loves boat shoes & oxfords. Has about 50 button down shirts (plaid is his favorite), and rocks skinny jeans like no-ones business. He loves to dress. Even down to his boxers, he makes sure he likes everything he puts on himself. Today we spent the entire day shopping for clothes for Spring/Summer. His idea not mine. He said, “Mommy, the weather is getting nicer out and pretty soon I will to wear shorts & bathing suits. Let’s go to my favorite stores and buy me some new clothes because I am getting so big”.

This wasn’t a shock to me, since I know how much he likes to pick out his own clothes. We can’t go to Target without looking at the clothes. Only sometimes does he act like a typical 5 year old boy and ask for the Toy section as well. We enjoyed our day. We went to his favorite stores, Crazy 8, Gymboree & Target. We came home with a good start to his wardrobe. Suspenders, Converse High-tops, 2 new necklaces, a bow-tie, some plaid shorts, graphic T’s and more……Damn, my boy has class when it comes to his style!
