Timelessness

I've never been one to invest in fancy clothing. Not for myself. Not for my children. I don't like clothing that makes a child into a walking billboard & I despise synthetic fabrics. For my boys I have always preferred the timelessness of a button-down shirt. It seems that they don't go out of style. The cotton fabric feels good on the skin. They are affordable. Most of the ones they have are hand-me-downs or thrift store finds.
I've been having a feeling that the wee lil' one will be a boy & I have been packing in anticipation of a move. These shirts won't be needed for many years, but one day I will pull them out of the storage box & rejoice for timelessness!
A random stack of "too small," ready to be stored for a few years.

Button down collar shirts.

As you say . . .timeless in their understated style.

I love plaid, and stripes, and button down shirts, or dresses...

Well, I saw "it," although I didn't mean to. I'd be really surprised if it turned out to be a girl.
