I may not be a mom just yet, but as the resident shopping expert of my family, I know a thing or two about purchasing children’s apparel. I’ve bought many baby-shower and birthday gifts, and I’ve learned the hard way that children’s clothes have to be functional, not just fashionable. Who knew that a 6-month-old wouldn’t be into rigid denim? Not me, apparently, but I’ve gotten better over the years, and now I can spot a cute and functional kids collection from a mile away. That’s exactly what happened when I went to purchase pieces from the Gap x LoveShackFancy collaboration for myself—I found the most adorable children’s pieces I’ve ever seen, featuring pink and blue floral patterns, ruffled eyelet details, and so much more. I need every kid I know to wear these pieces as they head back to school. Between you and me, I can’t believe they’re still in stock. Keep scrolling to shop the most covetable children’s collection to date.

A sweet pink cable-knit just in time for fall. 

How fun are these flare jeans? 

Everyone needs a denim jacket for fall, especially a pink floral one.  

Gap denim reigns supreme, even in ruffled skirt form. 

The definition of cute and cozy. 

Another full-set opportunity that cannot be missed. 

The perfect newborn gift. 

It doesn’t get cuter than florals, eyelet, and ruffles all rolled into one. 

The full set it is a must. 

If this was available when I was a kid, I never would have taken it off. 

I know this is for kids, but I think I need one, too. 

Again, the eyelet detailing is so precious. 

There’s nothing sweeter than a kid in Mary Janes.

I’ll be purchasing this for my cousin’s baby shower stat. 

I might have saved the best for last with this adorable denim piece.
