With school back in session there is a seemingly endless supply of comfy Fall play clothes in stores. While impulses can get the best of us, it is important to stick with the staples. If your kids are like mine, they will outgrow this season's duds before Winter.

I adore this upcycled reversible birdie dress in cream and linen ($32) because it was designed for growth — it's a pinafore dress now, but is shaped so it can become a top as your lil one gets taller. The maker has a whole selection of similar styles.
