What Afon Wore | MagSoul

shirt // {MagSoul}

shorts // Zara

sandals // Pediped

We snagged this shirt with {Muir's famous quote} on a special Independence Day sale.  It is so soft and stretchy.  So far, I've only washed it once, and there was a note included saying that the ink (hand-stamped) would fade, giving it a hipster, vintage vibe.

I'm watching to see if the fabric gets holes easily--a downside the light softness of the shirt.  Here's hoping the stretchiness hints at resilience.  You really need fabric that can stand up to wear and tear when dressing little boys.

But I love the asymmetrical design and am a sucker for print with meaning.  An instant wardrobe fave.  In Wales, I'll dress it under a cardigan, while he scuttles about the mountains of Snowdonia.

What Roan Wore | The Threaded Owl

bandana bib // {The Threaded Owl}

dungarees // Koala Baby, hand-me-down

I've been talking about Roan's teething/drooling for going on months now.  It's got to the point where within minutes of dressing him, he soaks the front of his outfit, and then he's soggy for the rest of the day.  Those sweet, neutral-colored cloth bibs everyone gifted me at Afon's baby shower?  Powerless in the face of Roan's epic drool.

So I did a little Etsy search.  I wanted something that snapped (no ties, Afon could tug that right off of him), was very absorbent, and held up in the wash.  Plus adorable fabric.  It's a non-negotiable.  I found these at The Threaded Owl, already made and ready to ship.  The rest is history!

What Roan Wore | Whole Parenting Goods

I'm going to assume that no one is burning to know the brands of the old yellow onsie or generic bib and socks.  What we're focusing on here are the leggings: organic fabric, hand made by {Whole Parenting Goods}.

I.  Love them.

I can't praise them enough.  I bought Nell's leggings for two reasons:  (1) everyone else was doing it and (2) I sort of had to have that barn swallow fabric.  Also, and less importantly, I'd given away a lot of Afon's things and needed a few items to replenish Roan's wardrobe.  We're a little more comfortable now with Afon receiving disability, me getting some tutoring gigs here and there, and cash benefits, so I felt a splurge was in order.

But I can't even call it a splurge now because I think he wears these every other day, seriously.  They've paid off their cost and then some.  They are so sturdy and well made!  With gentle washing and air drying, these leggings are going to live forever.  The elastic band thingy does not budge, which is more than I can say for my clothing.  Oh, and they fit from zero to six months.  I'm considering buying another pair.  Nell even makes women's leggings now!

In summary: durability + handmade + beautiful fabric.  This is why I love shopping small.
