If your little one is looking for a special first day of school outfit, consider this classic wrap dress from Tea.
One of Tea’s bestsellers year after year (my oldest probably cycled through half a dozen until she declared herself done with dresses), this easy-to-wear dress is made of soft 100% cotton. I can also personally attend to their durable, hand-me-down quality.
Available in three floral prints, this dress will also work for picture day or any other day that needs something extra.
This long-sleeved wrap dress is $39 and comes in sizes 2 to 16.

48 hours in denver with two 6 year olds. what would you do?
I just want to applaud the anon at 5:30 last night, in case anyone missed it. The conversation was about tween clothing. My daughter has not asked to wear a crop top yet but is aware of them and some of her classmates wear them (5th grade). She rolls her eyes when kids wear them, which im sure is not great either. All of this is to say, that its hard to figure out body positivity/confidence and just how to be supportive.
“You are not! My 8 yo is not allowed to wear crop tops (or bikinis for that matter). I think its disingenuous to conflate body positivity or confidence with age in appropriate clothing. I find that kind of argument usually comes from parents who also insist that their kids “need” smart phones and watches in elementary school.”
Took today off to have a life admin/do some appointments for the kids before school/get things organized and deep cleaned for the school year day.
Please tell me why I’m actually doing a slide deck for work… Solidarity to all the working women out there who are having to always work on the edges to make sure that when they take time off for caretaking/life/kids/pets/parents they are beyond reproach?
Do you shop Back to School sales at Staples, etc for supplies for your home (e.g. home office, kids’ art supplies)? My kid is still in preschool so we don’t have Back to School lists yet but I want to buy some supplies for a little retail therapy/nostalgia.
