Don’t get me wrong, when I found out we were having a boy I was ecstatic. However I will admit that my secret “babe” Pinterest board that I had been pinning to for months somehow was filled solely with girl nursery inspiration and baby girl clothes. Although I’m not exactly sure why because for as long as I can remember I’ve always pictured having a boy. After the initial overwhelming excitement, of course next I started thinking about clothes! Everyone had / has been warning me not to buy too many newborn items as you’ll get so much as gifts and they grow so quickly, but I hadn’t bought a thing and was dying to pick up a onesie or two. When I started looking around and popping into baby boutiques I was disappointed at the selection for the boys. Lots of stars and stripes which is super cute but there just seemed to be so many more options for the girls. It wasn’t until I began hunting for more unique shops and asking my boy mama friends for recommendations that I got excited about dressing a boy. And when Zara’s capsule collection for the boys popped into my inbox this week I immediately wanted it all.
The sites I’ve been loving for the boys / babies in general: Zara and H&M for stylish yet affordable basics bitte, Rylee & Cru and Oeuf for a few special / more one-of-a kind pieces. Any others I should add to my list mama’s?
