It is almost time to go back to school. Well, it’s almost time for some people to go back to school. Graduating is a bittersweet experience. Anyway, while I won’t be heading to school this fall, I do know one little guy who will be. This year, Wolverine is going to be in first grade, and as many of you with little ones understand, kids grow fast. So the lucky little bugger will be getting some new outfits for school.
The school that Wolverine attends has a dress code, which I think is both good and bad. It is great because kids won’t be teased on what they are wearing. It is also great because it is easy to pick out what your child will wear to school the next morning. The only real reason I don’t like dress codes is because when I was a child I had to wear a uniform from Kindergarten all the way until I graduated 8th grade. I hated it. I had a horrible gray/yellow/blue plaid jumper and an Oxford shirt though. Luckily, Wolverine’s dress code is much looser than mine was. He has to wear solid color pants (in a few colors) and either a t-shirt or a polo (in a couple other colors).
So for the most part, the dress code is a good thing, but last year, when we were shopping, we had to look all over the place to find matching articles of clothing in the school’s specific colors. That is, until we checked out Old Navy. Shopping for Wolverine at Old Navy last year was awesome. I cannot begin to describe how happy we were with all the clothes we bought there. The pants and the shirts fit him perfectly and the cost was great too. It is easy to overspend during the back to school season, so it was nice to stay within our budget at one place.
We will definitely be heading back to Old Navy to get Wolverine some clothes that will fit him for this school year. His outfits will actually look a lot like this, but only with a plain polo and full length pants. He’s going to be such a stud.

I’ve always loved ON – I even worked there for a few years! – but since they switched their jeans over to the new ones (Diva, Sweethart, etc.) I haven’t been able to find jeans that fit! I still buy almost all of Topher’s clothes there, though. They have really cute baby things 🙂
I haven’t bought their jeans in a while for myself, so I don’t know how they will fit. I have a very hard time fitting into jeans though. I have super short legs, but I’ve got quite the thighs/butt. So it is always a struggle, but I’ll check ON out again to see if they fit me now. I get most of my clothes from Old Navy though, and Wolverines and some for my nieces and nephew, so I am very excited to have the opportunity to post this.
