Today, October 14, 2014 Peekskill High School students participated in mix-match day for school spirit week.  Students and staff come together and mixed and matched their apparel to look as crazy as possible.   Here are some pictures of mix and match day!  Don’t forget, tomorrow is Team Jersey Day!  Wear your favorite team Jersey from any sport around the world!  Stay tuned for more pictures tomorrow!

School is in full swing and after a week of 90 degree weather, it looks like cooler weather is finally heading our way. My girls are begging to wear the clothes they helped pick for school. It was tough to convince them that wearing a wool sweater and tights to a classroom with no air conditioning when it’s 90 degrees is a bad idea.

I’ve always liked finding school clothes for the kids that can be mixed and matched. It doesn’t only make for more outfit options, it makes it a lot easier to let kids pick out their own clothes. If they have a drawer full of cute styles that can be mixed and matched, they can have fun picking out their clothes and I can still know they will go to school with matching clothes (type A here!).

This fall, finding mix and match styles has been even more helpful since Maggie and Alex wear the same size. So not only can the clothes be mixed and matched they can be swapped between the kids. The girls share a room and a dresser (and surprisingly like sharing clothes) so this this year’s school clothes organizing has been a breeze.

Our favorite place for mix and match styles is Mini Boden. Their clothes are comfortable, high quality and they have the best colors. Also, with two animal loving little girls, this fall’s Mini Boden line is a huge hit in our house.

When I shop their site, I like to find shirts that can go with a skirt or pants and then also layered under a dress or jumper. Their 2 packs of tights are awesome and can be paired with almost anything in the line. My girls love the Mini Boden sweaters. They tell me they are “soft and snuggly”. Their sweaters can be paired with the dresses, skirts or pants, so we get a lot of use out of them. Here are a few of our favorite mix and match styles this fall:
