Girls' Clothing

We have sufficiently established that I love very classic little girls’ dresses and shoes. Ready for a few more?
Elephantito has some of the sweetest little girls’ dresses around. Very traditional, but not old-fashioned. (And don’t even get me started on how cute their mary janes are. The gold and silver ones? To die for.)

My husband has always been a bit of a shopper. Until Harold’s closed last year, one of his favorite spots to shop was the clearance rack there. Always had a few XL gems for a good price.
And then he went through a little Nordstrom shirt-shopping phase too. A Von Maur opened near us, good shirts [...]

Patouche’s fall line was inspired by Little-Red-Riding-Hood’s wander through the woods and [...]

But it’s this kind of stuff that tugs at my heartstrings (and, well, my ovaries. Don’t tell my husband. He’ll have a freakin’ coronary. Four kids is enough for [...]

Sophisticated but fun fabrics. Attention to detail like I’ve never seen. Meticulous contrasting linings, reverses and edging. Beautiful construction. All of these describe Hoot Baby’s lovely designs for little girls.
Dresses, tunics, skirts, bloomers – all of Hoot Baby’s pieces look delicious enough for a special occasion. And yet, they’re fun and not fancy, frilly or [...]

So…..I’m back. Took a little unexpected hiatus there for a week or so. Life. Kids. Whatnot. I’m sure you know how that goes.
Anyway. I’m back! While I was gone, I bought a new dress for myself. Had an outdoor fundraiser to attend. In late June. In Kansas. Holy humidity and heat…My choice was ultimately a [...]
