Shopping in Style

Here's my cute baby in garage sale Naartjie.

Tillie's wearing her H&M bird leggings with a Gap ruffle skirt, crewcuts tee and Dear Grace & Parker bow.  I love how versatile these leggings are.  She's worn them so many different ways!
Rosie is wearing a Build-a-Bear dress and headband.

Tiny Piggies

Pigtails on a baby just might be the world's cutest thing.

Bebe is wearing a Carter's dress, See Kai Run mary janes and a Dear Grace and Parker headband.

It's Back!

I'm so happy to bring out our Matilda Jane green pearl again!  My favorite thing Tillie has ever worn looks just as darling on Bebe.  Today I layered a Skye knot top over it -- I found it at a garage sale last week!  I bonded with the mom about sending girls to school in MJ and buying more jeans for boys.  I kind of wish I had met her at school or church because I'd totally be friends with her.

Tillie's wearing a Naartjie top I found at a different garage sale.  It's a 5 and the coordinating pants it came with are a 4.  They fit, but are a little short so I made her wear Gap jeans to school. (She put the ruffle pants on after lunch.)

Greenhouse

It wasn't really warm enough for dresses and shorties, but we were going to see flowers and figured the car and greenhouse would be warm enough -- and they were.

Sisters in matching dresses.  I've been dreaming about this since I found out Beatrix was a girl.  Bea is wearing the Matilda Jane Wendy dress my mom bought for Tillie when she was this age.  Tillie is wearing a size 4 that I bought on Craigslist a couple years ago.  It's getting too short, but it works with shorties and I wasn't going to miss an opportunity for matching Matilda Jane!  Tille's shorties are DreamSpun and you can't see Beatrix's blue dotted Tea leggings.

Not to be left out, Teddy is dressed in Mighty Acorns(Matilda Jane's old boy line).  I found the tee at Village Kids last year and the jacket was Tillie's when she was little. He's 3 going on 15 in this picture and it kills me.

Spring-y Sunshine!

The weather today was just lovely and we celebrated with some spring outfits.

Teddy adores this Gap tee.  Tillie decided to call it a "Bog" for Bunny-Dog.  Teddy just hops all over when he's wearing it.  I knew he'd be spending a lot of time outside, so I pulled out his jeans that already have a hole.  His 2t jeans are starting to get too short.

Tillie's wearing a Gap bird tee with Gap jeans and an Okaïdi cardigan.

Beatrix started out in her Gap Wayfarer top and cardigan, but by lunch she needed a new outfit.  I pulled out this Gap Gypsy body-double and jeans.  Her 6-12m jeans are getting too short.

Palm Sunday!

Beatrix is wearing the Carter's Dress Tillie wore for her first Palm Sunday.

Teddy's wearing a Rabbit Moon button-up, Crazy 8 tie, Gap chinos and TOMS.  It was important for me to include BabySam in this picture because he is also wearing a tie.

Tillie's wearing a Matilda Jane dress I found at Once Upon a Child. (Symon's General Store dress from the Good Hart line)  It's still too cold for short sleeves, so she opted for an Old Navy tee and Gymboree leggings under it.  (The other options were a cardigan and tights.)  Emmie needed to be in the picture because she is also wearing a dress with leggings.

Colorblock and Stripes

I found this Gap Primary School dress at Once Upon a Child last week.  They had it marked as a top instead of a dress, so it was about half the price they would normally sell dresses for.  Also, it's only from last fall so it's still pretty new in the kids clothes world!

St. Patrick's Day!

Beatrix is wearing a Carter's shamrock dress, rainbow BabyLegs and See Kai Run maryjanes.

Teddy's wearing a Gap Urban Adventures chambray button-up. orange crewcuts tee, Gap green skinny jeans and TOMS.

Tillie's wearing a crewcuts cardigan, Gap dress, and Gymboree leggings.

65* Short Sleeves!

Oh, my sweet(but getting into everything) girl in Naartjie today.  Hopefully I score some more outfits like this at garage sales this spring.  Consignment sales are done, now I just have to wait a month for the garage sales to start!

Romper to Layering Tank

I bought Beatrix this Tea romper at OUAC for $1.  It's 6-12 months and if she had grown like Teddy I could have gotten it on her in June at least!

Instead, I layered a Janie & Jack cardigan and Gap jeans over it.

Tillie's worn this outfit many times before(I love it more than she does though), but I think that the cardigan may need to be packed away soon.  Her jeans are H&M and will definitely be too short before her birthday.  Time to look for some H&M coupon codes!

Gardens Day!

Tillie had the day off of school and our Gardens' membership expires at the end of this month. It was obvious what we had to do today.

Teddy's wearing a Gap Sag Harbor cardigan, crewcuts short-sleeved button-up, Gap jeans and navy TOMS.  Tillie's wearing an Old Navy dress and leggings with Jumping Bean boots and a Little Sweet Pea Crochet bow.  Beatrix is wearing and Old Navy dress and tights with See Kai Run mary janes and a Little Sweet Pea Crochet headband.

Uninspired Sunday

Usually there's at least one outfit I'm excited about my kids wearing to church.  Today was not one of those days.  Dressing for mid-January is the worst.  Christmas is over so holiday outfits are out and it's way too soon(and cold) for new spring things.  It's also to early for Valentine's inspired outfits.  So, this is what I came up with for today.

Tillie's wearing a Next dress. Gap Surf tank, Old Navy leggings, Jumping Bean boots and a Dreamspun bow.

Teddy's wearing a Janie & Jack cardigan, Gap button-up, Gap skinny jeans and navy TOMS.

Beatrix's wearing a Janie & Jack cardigan, Gap Ivy League dress, Old Navy tights, See Kai Run shoes and a Dear Grace & Parker headband.

Go Knights!

My three are all decked out in Calvin gear for the Hope-Calvin game today.

Bea - Calvin hoodie(hand-me-down from Tillie), Gap jeans, See Kai Run shoes, Dear Grace & Parker headband
Til - Calvin tee, Old Navy tee, Gap skirt, Gymboree leggings, Circo boots, Dear Grace & Parker bow
Ted - Calvin tee, H&M jeans, Carters' boots

Flower Girl

Beatrix is wearing a Mini-Boden dress I got for $1 at Once Upon a Child.  I still can't believe what a find it was.  Her tights are Gap, her shoes See Kai Run and her bow is Inspired by Olive Zoelle.

Sweaters For All

Oh my Ted.  He didn't want to pose for me.  He's wearing a Gap Sag Harbor cardigan, H&M button-up, Gap jeans and his new Carter's snow boots.

Tillie's wearing a Gap Elysian Fields sweater and Gap jeans.  I would have had her wear boots, but it's snow boots on the playground and sneakers at school.

Bea's outfit is so cute, even cuter in person than the pictures.  She's wearing a Gap Ivy League dress, old Gap Outlet cardigan and See Kai Run maryjanes with a Dear Grace and Parker bow.

Navy and Pink

So classic.

I had a good number of navy and pink outfits back in my early J. Crew days.  Today's outfits were all based on the fact that I wanted Teddy to wear this outfit.  He wore it a week ago to an anniversary party with my parents and I didn't get a picture of it then.  I got the Ralph Lauren plaid button-up at a thrift store and the Gap Party Outfits bike pants super-cheap when there was an extra percentage off sale.  They're both 2t and I have no idea why the shirt is still a little big.

Tillie's wearing the outlet version of a Gap Abbey Road dress.  She made me buy it for her at Goodwill a year or so ago.  I wanted to put it back because it was pretty faded, but she LOVED it.  Apparently she doesn't love it anymore, but she still does like it.  It is very cute on her.  It's layered over a Crazy 8 Halloween tee because it's the only white shirt we had and the dress covered the whole graphic.  She takes any opportunity she has to wear her Circo cat shoes and they worked fine today.

Bea's wearing a Gap PopShop dress I got for $1 a Once Upon a Child.  I ADORE this dress.  I wanted it when Tillie was a baby but ended up with a strawberry outfit from the line instead.  It's layered over a cream Gap bodysuit.  The Gap navy patent leather shoes were Tillie's Christmas shoes as a baby.  They're too big on Bea so they'll probably still fit her in December, too.

Gap Skinny Jeans for All

I bought Bea this Mini-Boden hedgehog tee for $6 last year during their end of season sale.  We paired it with Gap skinny jeans and See Kai Run mary janes.

Ted's wearing new Gap jeans I bought last week.  They were 40% off and I could use my GapCash.  They're not so akinny on him, but they are long enough!  He was so happy that it's cool enough for his long-sleeved crewcuts fire truck tee.

Tillie's wearing a Lands' End tee under a cute handmade unbranded knot top with Gap skinny jeans.  Her brown Circo boots from last year still fit for now!

Fall

Yep, it's here.  I feel like I've spend this month talking about the weather, but it makes a big difference to what clothes they wear!

Tillie was excited to wear a new Naartjie outfit I got her at the outlet this summer.  They're both 6s, so it should fit for a while.  (Of course she came home with stains on the pants from the playgound... It's soaking, but I guess it's good I bought it as a school outfit!)  She was super-excited to wear her silver Circo cat shoes.  We bought the gray bow at DreamSpun on Tuesday to go with her school picture outfit.

Teddy ended up in longsleeves later, but this morning he picked out this crewcuts tee and I told him he had to wear his Gap jeans.  He picked the TOMS.  I don't know why he looks like he was crying.

Beatrix is wear a Gap  Baby Love chambray dress.  I'm glad it cooled off so she could wear it one more time.  We added the Gap Wonderland socks she wore home from the hospital and See Kai Run mary janes I got at a garage sale for $1!

Aqua

I bought Tillie and Teddy these matching shirts last summer before I knew I'd have a third child to dress.  So, Tillie wore a mint dress, but Til and Ted were perfectly coordinated!

Tillie's tank is Gap Villa Oasis and her shorts are crewcuts.  I bought these shorts because I knew they'd be so cute with a Camp staff shirt, but of course the kid shirt was gray this year so she didn't wear them much at Camp.  (They're not her first choice in clothing...)  Teddy's shirt is Gap Sunkissed Staples and his shorts are Old Navy.

Day 2

Happy Sunday!  We're wearing some faded hues today.

Teddy's wearing a Gap button up and sun-washed shorts today.  His shoes are See Kai Run, but it we were at home instead of Camp I would have done his navy TOMS.  I'm pretty sure his shirt was from Goodwill and the shorts may have been as well.

Bea's wearing a Gymboree Venice Sweetie romper and a Dear Grace and Parker headband.  I bought the romper super-cheap shortly after Christmas.  It's a little big, but it has a "bunchy" design that makes it look like it doesn't fit well.  I wouldn't have paid full price for it, but under $3 was worth it.

Tillie's wearing a Gap Spring Break tank with a Hen & Chic skirt.  The tank was super-cheap at Gap this week, which was great because she's been needing a navy tank for a few outfits.  It's a 4-5 from Kid Girl, but seems to fit more like a 5 than a 4.
