It's no secret, baby clothes are my weakness. As soon as i was pregnant (ok, maybe before), i began stocking up on my favorites, that I've had my eye on for months. I love dressing my little guy in comfortable yet snazzy clothes. Here are some of my absolute favorites at 5 months in:
I began reading Nici's blog a few years ago, and fell in love with her writing. She is an inspiring mama to follow, not to mention her fabulous clothing line out of Missoula Montana: GEO - by dig. Liam has a bib with Oregon on it, to remember his uncle out west. I love the simple, natural cotton. Absorbs all that drool so well.
Like a few other brands here, i found this brand from Zulily. I bought a 0-3 size long bodysuit and fell in love with the quality and construction of it. Liam likes his feet out, so having no feet was awesome, to pair with some Zutano booties. They are made of the softest, most comfortable cotton. They are snug, but stretch just perfectly. Once he outgrew that size, i stocked up on the next sizes. Definitely our favorite pajama's around here.
Oh my gosh. I have been in love with this brand for some time, but once i began dressing my tiny babe in their clothes i fell more in love. Their designs are fresh and modern. Their styles are so comfortable for Liam, while also a bit hipster. I love them. My must haves for Liam's wardrobe are the simple pants, cotton/fleece hats, cozie fleece booties, along with the striped booties. I found that their bodysuits ran a bit small, so order a size up from what you think. We also have a changing pad cover, a few cotton blankets, a Sherpa fleece blanket and the cozie fleece snowsuit. We use them all daily. I can't say enough good things about this brand of micro-fashion.
This shirt is my favorite. When it's clean, it's typically on him. Silk oak makes their shirt designs using the screen-printing process. Out of Ithaca, NY. I love this brand and can't wait to get more as he grows.
Another Zulily find. Such soft and sweet bodysuits. I loved this one. It was a bit lighter weight than i would have thought, but would be great for a spring/summer baby. It was fine for a newborn though, as he was typically swaddled as well. (ps-how was this only 4 months ago?!)
The little pants shown above fit so, so well. We had a couple of newborn / 0-3 pair and i need to go get more for 6-12! Loved them!
The brand that seems to be the most popular and common to receive at baby showers. We were gifted a ton of Carters clothes. I love their sleepers with a zipper (for easy & fast nighttime changes) and their undershirts/onesies. Some of the outfits are a bit too much for my personal taste, but definitely a good baby brand.
We had a few newborn sleepers and they fit Liam's long & lean newborn body so nicely.
I have a few outfits from this brand and again, love the quality and construction of the outfits. The fabrics are a mix of hippie/organic/modern and i love that.
And here are some handsome examples:
Sweet Peanut body suit with a Zutano fleece suit over it. Sweet Peanut tractor blanket above & Zutano hat.
Zutano booties and bunny with a Nui Organics bodysuit.
Zutano booties & pants. Carter's long sleeve onesie.
Carter's onesie & Kate Quinn Pants.
Other bits:
Hand knits: I could never have enough. Luckily my mom, grandma, mom's friends and Jason's aunt all sent along a beautiful start to Liam's collection.
Hand-me-downs: You can never go wrong with a nice stash of gently used clothes to help supplement your favorites.
Pricing: You'll also notice that a lot of the pricing on the links i provided might be a bit pricey for someone who is growing so fast. Well, i bought most everything on Zulily. If you have a baby (or baby on the way) and aren't signed up, i encourage you to! I got most of his outfits from the brands above for 50% (or more) off the prices on the websites. It's a site that features major discounts from big brands daily. They usually have a sale listed for a few days. You get an email daily that says what brands they are featuring. I would just quickly browse the email to see if there was anything i was interested in. Such great deals. I also found that i would rather have a few really good quality outfits instead of dozens that i kind of like. Just my personal taste.
What other brands do you love for your kids? What am i missing out on?!
So cute! Baby clothes are the best!
ReplyDeleteOh and to answer your question, our boys wear a lot of Lands End, Hanna Andersson, Old Navy and Gap, many of which are hand me downs. They are super rough on their clothes, especially pants, and the Lands End iron knee pants are the best. I loved Zutano when they were little, so cozy and soft.
ReplyDeleteThanks gen!! Oooo lands end and Hannah Anderson, forgot about those companies! I'm sure I'll get into them as he grows. I love your boys Patagonia snowsuits. Do u have a good site to buy them from, or just the Patagonia site?
DeleteYes, they are great and both have awesome sales! As far as patagonia I buy them directly from them or sometimes from Moose Jaw; they have greats deals there from time to time. I don't mind spending a little more on outdoor gear at patagonia or llbean (love their stuff too) bc they have lifetime warranties (which I have used a couple of times!) so they can get a lot of use pretty much worry free. :)
Deleteoh and I get all their Hanna pjs on black Friday; they are usually 1/2 off then. They last forever and are so cozy.
