The cool mornings, warm days and cold nights this time of year means lots of layering…but layers and kids are not always BFFs.
Dressing the kids can be tricky during these transitional months because they’re always on the move and their layers need to allow them all the freedom of movement their little legs can manage.
Hey, the more play time, the better the nap / bedtime routines go. And we all need that…right, mommas?
I recently spent the day at Tanger picking up some light outerwear essentials for my kids and just have to share all the totally adorable finds and deals with you!

Old Navy Outlet | Girls’ Pink Poncho | $26.99
Old Navy Outlet | Girls’ Grey Poncho
When shopping for transitional pieces for my kids, I’m ALWAYS looking to extend the use of their current staples as far as I can.
They outgrow things so quickly that if she can keep wearing that tee that she loved so much this summer, all the better for my budget!
These wraps and fringed ponchos are the perfect way to layer some of those warm weather pieces.
Gap Outlet | Girls’ Sweater | $32.99
And that sleeveless dress that was in the weekly rotation…
Throw on one of these dainty, detailed sweaters from Gap Outlet and some leggings and you’ve got a totally refreshed and stylish look for picture day.
