Cords and More Cords

I have seen some amazing corduroys for boys in all my back to school shopping. I keep coming back to Papo d'Anjo's new Weathered Corduroy Jean as it looks incredibly well made yet completely comfortable. It is perfect to dress up or down. Gap's Uniform Corduroy was my choice for the boy's school uniform, both good looking and a deal. The Busy Bees Cargo Pocket Corduroy and the Oliver Pant by Olive Juice are a bit dressier with pockets any boy will love. And finally, the Mini Boden Cord Baggies are an old favorite of mine that I must share.

Papo d'Anjo Weathered Corduroy Jeans $59. New this season. Love the rich earthy colors.

A Deal: Gap Uniform Corduroy Pants $26; Buy 2 or more $19.50 each.

Busy Bees Cargo Pocket Corduroys $56. Dressier, yet with pockets perfect for boys.

Olive Juice Oliver Pant $42.50. Can't get over the pockets on these corduroys.

Mini Boden Cord Baggies $34. An all around great pair of cords, wide wale looks nice and elastic waste makes it easy and comfortable, particularly for younger children.

Busy Bees Gypsy Skirt

I love this skirt from Busy Bees' spring collection. A girls' favorite—dressed up or down. It will get its wear in August...but also go into fall and winter! Here are just some of my ideas for how to pair it.
