What I Wore Wednesday: Toddler Holiday Chic

We didn't get home until after midnight from France last Wednesday so I didn't get a post up in time for What I Wore for the first time! We had a great time at Eurocamp Le Grand Metairie but I'll get into that more in another post. We really just spent time together the three of us without tv or computers and with very little internet; it was fun to just hang out and play cards or dominos with NotBlondeHusband on the deck at night after Blondie Boy had gone to bed.


I'm pretty sure we all ate our body weight in baguettes and Blondie Boy discovered a love of French butter which he'd lick and eat off the baguette and then ask for more--he'd end up with a shiny butter face and need to be hosed down afterwards.


We kept it really casual  on holiday so my outfits really aren't worth a post. I wore several different Old Navy or Gap Vest Tops mixed with jeans or shorts--nothing exciting. So I will focus on what Blondie Boy wore because he is cuter than me anyway :)

HM Skullie Shorts 
Polliwalks Sandals

I made him pose because I loved this outfit and knew I'd use it for What I Wore Wednesday! I just think he looks so cool but maybe I'm biased :)

If you have a toddler this is the coolest swim accessory EVER! Blondie Boy swam around by himself! There was a lazy river so he could just float and swim around and around and he loved it! He had so much fun at the pool and I can't recommend the Puddle Jumper enough!

Blondie Boy loves his Cincinnati Reds hat, LOVES it. When we were sitting outside Beauvais airport waiting for check-in to open a man and woman saw his hat and asked if we were from Cincinnati. It turned out they were from Kettering where my Grandma lives in Ohio. It is "small world" moments like these that I love! It is probably why I subconsciously almost always travel in Cincinnati Bearcat shirts :)


I also puffy-heart love these Converse. There is Velcro to the side of the tongue so they are easy on and off and no laces to trip over. Plus the turquoise are just a super fun colour; I got them at the outlet malls in Cincinnati; if you are ever near a Converse Outlet go because the deals are amazing!

Umm is it just me or does he look majorly grown up here? This is when we were kicking it outside the airport waiting for check-in. He just totally looks like such a big boy to me in this photo. I also love this sweatshirt because you can't tell but it makes his blue eyes just pop ;)


What do you wear on vacation? Do you dress up or just keep it casual?

  15. I like to dress up when I'm on a vacation with NBH but when we are on a family vacation and going to the beach or pool I just can't justify it!

    ReplyDelete

  23. My goodness, Blondie Boy could not possibly be any cuter!

    ReplyDelete
  24. Cute! I love to get my kids dressed up too- much cuter than me!

    ReplyDelete
  25. So cute, especially the pic with the red hat! The destination -- and weather, of course -- dictates my vacation wardrobe. I wore lots of layers (and hiking boots) when we visited Scotland one time in the spring; tunics and swimsuits in Thailand; and dressier layers and flat boots in Vienna in the late fall. Uh oh, now I want to plan another vacation.... ;)

  26. It sounds like you had an amazing vacation! What I wear when I travel depends on where I'm going - when I'm in Europe I try to dress up a bit - in the fall or winter that means skinny jeans tucked into riding boots, a sweater/scarf/etc. In the summer a flowy skirt and pretty flats. But if I'm hiking or doing more active things, it's comfort all the way!

  27. I think I definitely dress up when on a city break (see my Swedish WIWW post) but we were at a big campsite so it just didn't make sense y'know?

    ReplyDelete
  28. Aww thanks! I grew up in Cincinnati so I'm a HUGE Cincinnati sports fan :)

    ReplyDelete
  29. I think I'd have looked daft walking around a campsite in heels y'know?

    ReplyDelete
  30. I love mixing it up on vacation and bringing my most creative outfits - most people will never see me again, so it is a great chance to try something new!

    ReplyDelete
  31. I love that your WIWW posts have developed to include outfits for all the family :-) Really enjoyed this post.

    ReplyDelete
  32. Those are most adorable children...absolutely cute! Thanks for stopping by my blog and inviting me over!

  35. What a dude! I like to be comfy on holiday, we are off to France for the same kind of holiday as you've just been on, but with Siblu holidays. Cannot wait!

    ReplyDelete
  36. Generally speaking only one of the two of us looks good at a time :)

    ReplyDelete
  37. You always need layers in Scotland year round :) I was almost exclusively sundresses in Thailand.

    ReplyDelete
  38. That is a fun way to think about it!

    ReplyDelete
  39. Aww thanks--it is really when I don't have any good outfits over the week of myself that I feature BB but he has such a fab style :)

    ReplyDelete
  40. Just the one kid but thanks! Hope you'll keep joining in :)

  41. Ooh give me a nudge on Twitter? I didn't know you were taking over while she was in Chile!

    ReplyDelete
  42. Converse Outlet is the BEST thing ever!

    ReplyDelete
  43. It was not something I'd have chosen on my own but we did have a good time. It was absolutely perfect for a toddler with amazing pools and a baby animal farm on site plus playgrounds, kids groups, etc.

    ReplyDelete
  44. Thank you! I get a lot of stick from some people but his hair is just so pretty :)

    ReplyDelete
  45. Aw thanks! I just couldn't traipse around a campground in heels lol.

    ReplyDelete
  46. How can you not love a hit stylish dude with a superman t on?

    ReplyDelete
  47. can i have your little guy's hair please? he is SUPER precious!!!!

    ReplyDelete

  53. Aww thank you! I think he's pretty cute but I'm biased!

    ReplyDelete
  54. Aw thanks Jane! He's much easier on the eyes than I :)

    ReplyDelete
  55. I honestly can't recommend it enough! It allowed him to be independent and gave him a lot of confidence in the water :)

    ReplyDelete
  56. Thanks! Half of the outfit is from the US and half from the UK :)

    ReplyDelete
  57. I hope y'all have a great time!
