mini me Monday: back-to-school boutique (+ giveaway!)

For the first time, we are officially going to be in back-to-school mode with Hendrik as the summer comes to a close! He's pretty excited about his new 5-day-a-week preschool, and I'm pretty excited to bring you today's back-to-school mini me style ideas, because they come with a giveaway opportunity for you...

I know it's a bit silly, but when I buy clothes for Hendrik I like to find unique cute stuff for him, rather than always ending up with the same t-shirts as most of the other 3-year-old boys in town - since there are fairly limited options for where to shop around here. So I love learning about online kids boutique options like The Picket Fence, where I can find a little something different for him. From this shop, it was fun to find some new-to-me brands like Livie and Luca for shoes (I love buying boy clothes, but shoe options can be so limited and tricky!).

We're going to be packing lunches this year too, so I've been keeping an eye out for a cute lunch box to use with the awesome bento box I got for him on Prime Day (need something to hold an ice pack with it) - and also having fun perusing Pinterest for fun ideas of what to pack in it. How cute is the rocketship theme of this mini wardrobe, capped off by that lunch box?

And while I don't get to shop for girl stuff myself, I just had to put together a little ensemble for those of you who do, after I spotted this ice cream backpack on the site.

What's your back-to-school shopping look like this year? Could you use some $$ for a cute outfit or lunch box (or maybe even a little something for yourself!)? Enter via the widget below for a chance to win a $50 shop credit to The Picket Fence!
