In the past week, school has started for all of the kids around here. So today, in addition to showing you some of my own outfits, I will be showing you what the kids wore on their first day back to school. Fun, right? Who doesn’t take that back to school picture every single year?
LC shot this picture of Mr. 5 Year Old and I when we were getting ready to take him to his first day of kindergarten, and I love this picture! It says it all, all of the emotions I was feeling about my baby growing up are right here in this picture, and I will cherish it forever.
This is what I wore when we took him for his first day. Of course I went straight to work after that. My boss was kind enough to let me come in a just a little. I am sure he knew that this lady would have been miserable all day if I didn’t get to see him walk in that door this morning!
Would you believe I paid $3.99 for this Banana Republic strapless dress at Goodwill? But I took it to be taken in a tad, and when I picked it up the bill was over $30! I about died! I would have never taken it there if I would have known. Next time I will ask first!

Love that BR dress! I think it's worht it Nicki! Your kids look really cute. I think I'm the only parent who doesn't take back to school pics – yup, bad momma here 🙂
Well, it makes me feel better that somebody thinks it was worth it!
Very nice picture of you and your son (1st pic)! I sometimes feel so excited for my little one to be finally in kindergarten too but most of the time I feel like NOoooo Not yet! But yeah, kids grow so fast. I love your yellow outfit too…It's so me! 🙂 Visiting from the link up .

Thank you! I visited your blog, and I like your style too!
Oh, I feel those emotions! My eldest is starting school for the first time in 3 weeks, and we are more nervous than she is! Lovely outfits, joining in too at Walking in Memphis in High Heels
The yellow striped sundress is my fave! You look so cute!!!
Love the pic with you and Gavin. Too cute. That is a great idea of back to school pics. Great find with the BR dress. I understand the feeling with tailor and also dry cleaning bills. I took a couple coats to the dry cleaner and it was over $50. Your dress looks like a timeless piece that can be dressed up or down. Great idea for the shirts they did for school. I love the contrast of black and neon. I also liked your outfit with the brown and pink top.
you look sooooo pretty!
What price would you have expected to pay for alterations?
Well, since it was only two small tucks at the top to make it stay up, I would have thought $15 at the most.
