50 Days of Kenyan Kids Fashion- Day 24

September 8, 2016

Over the past few days, Nairobi weather has decided to demonstrate its unrivalled schizophrenic capabilities much to the shock of everybody. I have never been one to be weighed down by the cold weather. If anything, only my upper body used to suffer the wrath of cold seasons. So in the past, I would comfortably rock a mini dress but layer up heavily on the upper body with a jacket and a scarf. Not this time round though. Man! That cold had zero chills. Literally! Not even gallons of coffee and a pashmina would save my legs from freezing last week on Thursday. I have therefore sworn to only wear pants to work until the weather decides to sober up!

This left me wondering if we are dressing our kids warm enough for this weather. And if we are, what happens when your child is in a spaceman’s suit only for the sun to shine in the afternoon? Worse still if they are in school (for those who don’t wear uniform) and did not carry a change of clothes. The trick is to layer up. Consider dressing them in long-sleeved tees, bomper jackets with detachable sleeves and scarfs which would then be easily “peeled off” when need be.

Check out mykidscouture.com for lots of  stylish warm stuff for your toddler boys and girls. The store specialises in kids wear that range from infants to slightly over 5 years.

Keep warm!

Johari and Xena look so cute and they’ve started looking alike 🙂
This weather is crazy, you have to layer upp otherwise you’ll end up baking in a sweater top when the sun finally decides to shine. Gotta keep our little ones warm and stay stylish

I heard someone say the weather was behaving all woman-like #moody

They both look so adorable,esp in the pic where Xena is laughing.

I so don’t like being cold, but the other thing is looking like I carried my whole wardrobe when it becomes hot like today is bound to be till jioni. I also need a wardrobe change to ensure that when I layer I don’t look like the rainbow in the office/ on the streets.
(waiting on that button like…)
