I have never really understood the need to deck kids out in designer duds. I mean, kids grow something like 2.5 inches a year, so unless you’re planning on having a gaggle of children (hand me downs, anyone?) it doesn’t seem like you’ll be getting much bang for your buck. On top of that, kids are messy. I’m pretty sure that when I was one, I spilled juice down my shirt at every other meal. And it was fine, because all my clothes came from Marshall’s and were made out of the type of durable material that could survive a recess apocalypse. So as you can imagine, I was pretty sure my children’s future “style” would be similar to my childhood of overalls and Velcro shoes. That is, until I saw Children With Swag, a Tumblr that thrives off of parents’ photo submissions of their swagged out kids. Bow ties and suspenders, rocker denim vests and dark shades – who knew clothes looked even better in miniature?
