Kindergarten Zara Try-On Haul

I actually think I am still in denial my oldest starts kindergarten in less than two weeks. I genuinely had in my head I had a few more weeks, because I figured school started at the end of August like I always did growing up… But then last week I found out it was early August and I literally cried on my friends’ couch because it was such a shock to me. LOL. Anyways, Knox is pumped and I am so excited for him (even though I feel sad) because this kid was made for school. He loves learning, science, and building stuff. He says he is most excited for science! I had to buy him nearly an entire wardrobe, because the kid has surely grown 3-4 inches over this summer and pants are capris on him/shirts are getting a wee bit cropped. This year, I sat with K and had him pick things out with me. I tried to direct on some while others he flat out said “No, I don’t want that.” So weird to have a kid old enough to actually say that to me but I welcome it! I love seeing his personality and style come out – and believe me, he has opinions. He really loves outfits and putting together things. And he really wanted a Pikachu set, so I caved and went kitschy for him… but my insides died a little.

Zara doesn’t do LTK links, so while I won’t make any commission on these, I know so many of you wanted links! Knox is 5.5 (6 in December) and I bought mostly the 6/7 years big boy sizes so that they last us through next summer and early fall (maybe even more for some of it!). The only thing a little large on him are the green jogging shorts, but they tie and stay fine. They would totally slide off though without tying. Other than that, sizing up from his “age” size was a win for us!

You will find pieces from sets used separately and together + packs of tees that make two weeks of outfits! That’s HUGE for a little boy and then we will also have some of his older jeans/shorts to mix in to help with laundry turnaround. As for shoes, our neighbors are the best and give all their hand me downs and recently gave us like no joke 6 pairs of shoes Knox’s size that had never been worn before. So some of these are from them! But the white high tops are old Zara (I linked for you on one to see if it will take you to lookalikes on their site!) and then the black and red Jordans are from last year!
