Outfit stories

One thing I love about dressing my children - especially the younger they are - is that there is often a story about their outfits. Take this case in point:

stripey sweater - chosen by Grandma
soft cord dress - chosen by me but given thumbs up by Grandma as her birthday gift to Sophie
blue & white check blouse - saved by my mother from the '60s
fancy pants shoes - a Nana who had to buy the best for her granddaughter's birthday
white tights - new because what stays white more than 3 or 4 wears?!



This is a combo of hand-me down sweater (that I bought Sebastian for his 2nd birthday - Sophie is not waiting around for the Frog Prince) and Value Village deal of a polka-dot trimmed denim dress.


Here Seb is sporting his new West African ensemble; he proudly wore it for 2 minutes and pronounced it itchy; so it is going through the wash a few times.


And then there are the outfits that their father chooses!!!????
