WA Bumpies - help with fall weather clothes

march2008 · August 2012

I mentioned before that we're moving out to WA toward the end of September. (CAN'T WAIT!!!) I am going to have to get some clothes for DD in the next size as all she has right now are shorts, t-shirts, and the like. Old Navy is having a 25% off sale today, so I'm looking at some things for her.

What will she most likely need to wear in WA in October? Long pants, and long-sleeved shirts? Do I need any short-sleeved shirts? Will she need just a light jacket or something more substantial? Thank you very much for any advice you can give.

Layers are the answer here. So you will need it all. DS is currently wearing long pants and a short sleeve shirt. In the morning and evening he wears a sweater too. It can be warm sometimes. It will be getting damp so a light jacket will work for a while...

Last winter, I used a fleece bunting type thing all winter and when it got cold layered that under another winter jacket type bunting. Mostly heavy sweaters made it through for me.

Long sleeves will be handy but not essential right away just make sure you have a sweater or two.

DS had a jacket like this one. I found it to be just the thing most of the time.

Long sleeves and pants. Light jackets or light weight sweaters are good to have as well. I'm so jealous of you.

Thank you both!! I found a couple good things for her with that sale.

Another tip from a native Northwesterner: nobody here uses an umbrella. Get a good quality lightweight rain coat and some hoodies.
