Fashion Friday: CrewCuts Back to School.

I admit it, I am a sucker for CrewCuts.  I think my girls have more J. Crew than I do.  I just can’t walk away.  The good news is that everything I buy there lasts for a few seasons so I feel good about the money spent.  Have you seen the latest catalog?  Ugh.
As my girls are headed back to school on Monday, here are some of my favorite pieces for Fall.

Fashion Friday: Clothing Sources.

Thank you to everyone for their sweet notes about our photos.  Ryann did such an amazing job.  A few readers emailed me with questions about what we are wearing in the pictures..
 My shirt and scarf are from H &  M.  I probably bought them in September… they may still be in stock.  Earrings are Kenneth Jay Lane, Mike gave them to me for Christmas a few years ago.  E’s flower is from Anthropologie (she actually borrowed that one from Mom.)  I actually bought it from the clearance bin a few years ago as well.
My jeans are actually from the Gap beleive it or not.  I LOVE them.. Bought them last year- super comfy!
My boots are Steve Maddens that I bought last year at South Moon Under.  I’m sorry… a lot of the items that I am wearing came out of retirement and are no longer available.  For those of you asking I was able to pull together a similar look (and I was able to find the boots online!)

Lou’s outfit was also made up of a lot of items that are out of stock.  Here is a similar look that I pulled together:

Lou’s tunic in this picture is from Crazy 8.  I bought it last summer.
So many of you asked about E’s clothes. Most of these items are also no longer in stock, so I pulled together a similar outfit to E’s as well:

I think that about covers it!

Mini-Capes.

Capes are the ultimate fall accessory.  I have two camel capes that I adore, one in wool, and the other in a lightweight fabric.  I am not a sewer, but I wish that I was, because this tutorial looks pretty simple.   For those of you that are and have a little girl or two in your life, these capes are a MUST.  And, if you want to make two more…. the Salmon girls wear a size 8 and a size 5T. 😉

Forever 21 Girls.

It’s no secret that I am a fan of Forever 21.  Well, were you aware that they now carry both girls and maternity?  The online selection leaves a bit to be desired, but if you have a store nearby I strongly urge you to visit.  Check out these adorable dresses that I picked up for my girls for $9.99.  (Sorry, pics were taken with my iPhone.)  I love how they each rocked them in their own style.  E put this ensemble together all by herself.  She popped on this flower pin from Crew Cuts that I completely forgot she owned.  Her Daddy made her put a skort on under the dress, as we were going to a birthday party at My Gym.  Still… she made it work!  I love that she feels the need to constantly add accessories.. that apple didn’t fall from the tree!

Daddy’s happy that  she’ll be “covered.”
