Are you ready for more What to Wear to School photos? I’ve got a whole bunch for you! Today’s post features Ralph and Maude, our highschoolers. If you can believe it, Ralph was in 3rd grade when we shot our first What to Wear to School photos! I can hardly believe how much time has passed. And I can hardly believe I’ve really been blogging for so long.
Every year, we wonder if it will be the last wardrobe shoots for our oldest kids, but then we conclude it’s so nice to have a yearly record of how they dressed, and how they styled their hair — and they end up using these photos throughout the year for different projects and with their social media accounts. As for myself, I have so few photos of my teenage years. And I know I would get such a kick of looking at my wardrobe choices during high school! So we keep going.
These wardrobes were put together before school started, and I’m curious to see how Maude and Ralph will feel about their choices a few weeks or months in. Will their style evolve with the new school? We shall see!
On Maude:
Cropped Pants by DPAM, Green Layering Tank and Zig Zag Sweater by H&M. Converse Hightops at Zappos.
On Ralph:
Cardigan and Fitted Tee by H&M. Skinny Jeans by Vans. And the Checkerboard Slip-ons are Vans as well!
Note: If you have a son who is in between the boys department and mens department and is having a hard time finding pants that fit, Vans jeans are a lifesaver!
On Ralph:
Sweater by H&M. Brown denim by Vans. Blue Watch by Nixon (He’s had this for ages. We replaced the battery last month and I think it will give us a few more good years!). Socks by J.Crew.
On Maude:
Tiger Tee, Orange Layering Tank and Black Denim from H&M. White Converse at Zappos.
Also, do you like her first electric guitar?! It’s a good size and I love the color.
On Maude:
Colored Denim by H&M Kids. Sparkle Tank by Old Navy. Denim Jacket from Children’s Place. Sandals from French grocery store, Carrefore.
On Ralph:
Denim Button-Up and Cableknit Sweater by H&M. Blue Vans are hand-me-downs from Ben Blair. You can find similar at Zappos.
On Ralph:
Hoodie Sweater by H&M. California State Flag Tee from Urban Outfitters. Drawstring Shorts by Old Navy. Glasses are Japhy by Warby Parker.
On Maude:
Polkadot Dress and Black Cardigan by H&M. Colorful Socks from The Gap. Pink Belt was already in her wardrobe.
