Stars and Stripes

I bet you thought today's outfit would be patriotic based on the title.  Tillie was just wearing the Brannan's Favorites tee and leggings, but we added the Gymboree Nice Kitty skirt for running errands.

"Winter-izing" an Early Fall Dress

Tillie wore this outfit two months ago for the first time.  Today I wished I had a coordinating cardigan from the Nice Kitty line.  It was just too cold!  Instead I layered a long-sleeved Cherokee bodysuit under the dress.

 

I love these socks.

Party Dress

I originally bought this Gymboree Nice Kitty dress thinking Tillie would wear it for her first birthday party.  Instead, I made the outfit she wore.  I kept this dress packed away for fall because she had entirely too many summer dresses.

My mom has a picture (that we tried to find today and couldn't) of my grandma and my Aunt Dawn at a birthday party.  My aunt was dressed to the nines with a dress, petticoat, ruffled socks and patent leather shoes.  It is completely awesome and was the look I was going for today.  It didn't really work because the dress is a little to long and the tulle skirt is a little too short.  Still. Tillie looks just darling.  I wish she would have smiled better for the camera.  I might try again tonight.

You can't see it there, but she is "talking" on Tim's cellphone here.  She's not as into my retro look apparently.

The socks are from the Gymboree Winter Ballerina line.  I bought them on clearance this summer.

Ruby

Today we went to see my cousin Renee's House.  The town she lives in is called Ruby!  Since it was a party to celebrate the completion of renovating, Tillie wore a party skirt from Gymboree's Nice Kitty line.  I made her bird onesie.
