From the very start, I knew what I wanted Jackson’s style to be – mixed patterns and layers with a hipster kid feel.

My style has an undercurrent of edge and I wanted to highlight that in the things he wore. So far, it’s been hard to weave all the black and white I’m envisioning into his wardrobe (that color combo is missing from the boys section), but with the help of GAP Kids and some great bibdanna’s I’ve been able to keep the layering and the mix prints going strong.

GAP Kids has the best collection of pieces for your little ones that can stand on their own, but then layer to really create personal style. Of course I don’t want my kid looking like everyone else, because I don’t want to look like everyone else.

So I love the idea of buying individual pieces that I can mix and match and use to create my own looks.

It was just here that I was announcing the fact that he’d be a boy, now I’m looking at 9 month sizes. Oh Lordy, Lordy.
