What I Wore Wednesday: Route 66 Tee

First apologies for no post last week! We flew back from France last Wednesday and it was also my birthday. We spent a good 6 hours sat in the world's tiniest airport as our flight was delayed due to French air traffic control strikes. You might remember we got stuck in the strikes last year too so needless to say I wasn't happy. When we finally did get home we dumped our bags and went out for a birthday dinner so What I Wore Wednesday was the last thing on my mind!

We are really lucky that both NotBlondeHusband's parents (and their respective partners) help us out with Blondie Boy. Before we went on holiday BB's Grandma took him shopping with her while both of us were at work. He actually is a pretty good shopper (it is in his genes) and while out he picked out an entire outfit all by himself.

When I heard he'd picked out an entire outfit all by himself I wasn't expecting much but the kid can coordinate! It has all of his favourite things and was very holiday appropriate.


Boys Route 66 T Shirt

Route 66 Tee
Yellow Cargo Shorts
Shark Print Beach Shoes
(all Marks and Spencer)

Route 66 Cars Tee

First off how much do I love my kid for being bang on trend with bright yellow shorts? The beach shoes were perfect for the ocean as while Le Brasilia has a sandy beach it is really pebbly right where the tide comes in so it protected his tootsies. It is also way easier to walk on hot sand in beach shoes than flip flops!

Life the Flap tee

You  had to know with Blondie Boy that cars would be involved somehow so it doesn't surprise me that he picked this Route 66 themed t-shirt. What is really cool is it is a lift the flap tee. So there are little surprise designs under flaps scattered around the tee. How cool is that?

He was very proud of his purchases and I think I might have to let him pick out outfits for himself more often! Do you pick out your children's clothes or do you let them style themselves?

  9. Cute :) Mine actually does the same at 5. He decides what he's wearing. The only problem that arises is that he isn't very accepting of "it's in the laundry"


    Thanks for hosting the link up!

  24. That is a very cute T-shirt!! He looks so handsome wearing it! I have a son myself and I'm over the moon when I can find cute clothings for him, because usually the cute ones are only for girls! I dont want him to be cutesy or girlie later on of course, but at 18 months, I think he can still afford to be cute. Haha!
