As I read and research capsule wardrobes and minimalist living, I think about my son. I have inadvertently applied a minimalist wardrobe for him too! If you visit my blog, Instagram, or Facebook, you will notice Liam is usually wearing a plain white onesie. It stemmed from a conversation I had with my father during my pregnancy: “Babies should always wear white. It looks clean and makes them look like angels.” I thought it was crazy until I saw my son.
I realized that white onesies are simple and easy. They go with everything. They’re perfect alone for hot summer days or for wearing underneath cute tees and sweaters so baby bellies don’t show (although, how cute is that?!).
They bring out the beautiful contrast between his dark hair and fair skin. They allow me to stay focused on his handsome face without being distracted by wordy tees and loud colors.
Anddd, they’re affordable and easy to clean. This is one of my best kept secrets for sanity as a new mom and working mom. I love that a 5-pack of good 100% cotton onesies at Carter’s won’t cost me more than 12 dollars. I will never feel an impulse to buy clothes, fearing that it will be discontinued next season. I love the idea that I can bleach them and feel like they’re good as new, or constantly be reminded of fun memories through merciless stains.
In conclusion, I will always be faithful to one of my “villagers” who have supported my motherhood journey. Plain white onesie, short sleeve and long sleeve, I’m happy you’re around!
