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.

May the 4th be With You

Happy Star Wars Day!

I knew I'd have Teddy wear his crewcuts Yoda shirt today, but I wasn't sure if I could convince Tillie to wear the crewcuts R2D2 shirt  I'd bought ahead for Teddy.  I played up the Princess Leia buns and she was ALL ABOUT it.  Teddy's wearing Gap shorts and Tillie's wearing a crewcuts skirt.  (I found the chambray skirt she loved on eBay!  The other one she had was size 3, this is a 6-7 and has a ton of room.)

Warm Spring!

Today felt a little more like early summer!  I was more than happy to pull some warm-weather clothes out of the closet.

Teddy's wearing a Rabbit Moon button-up(later I rolled his sleeves and I liked his outfit a lot better), crewcuts chino shorts and TOMS.
Bebe's wearing a Janie & Jack Summer Picnic dress over a Carter's bodysuit and Cherokee shoes.
Tillie's wearing a Georgia Grace dress, DreamSpun shorties and Salt-Water sandals.  (This dress is one I bought with a credit I won a couple years ago.  It's a 4 and it's finally fitting how I'd like it to!)

Transitional Seasons are the Hardest.

It's spring, but still too cool for short-sleeves in the morning, hence these outfits.  They're a little darker than I'd normally go for in the last week of April.

Teddy: crewcuts striped pull-over, Gap chinos, TOMS
Beatrix: Giggle Moon over a Carter's bodysuit, Circo shoes
Tillie: Next dress, Adorable Essentials ruffle pants, Circo cat shoes.

Easter!

I love how my little trio's outfits came together this year.

They weren't thrilled to take pictures outside before church, but they still look adorable.  I bought Beatrix's outfit first, before she was born for $3.  It seemed perfect and Eastery, so I decided to find clothes for the others to coordinate. (Her shoes ans socks are what Tillie wore for her first Easter.)

Tillie's wearing an Eleanor Rose dress.  When they posted the sneak I thought it would be perfect because it has similar colors and a similar cut to Bea's dress.  I would have had her wear white flats, but she didn't have any and I didn't want to buy shoes to wear once, so Salt-Waters it is!

I took the girls' dresses with me to Carter's to pick out a shirt for Teddy.  I first had thought green, but it didn't match at all.  I picked this button-up because there are blue flowers on Beatrix's dress and the pink stripe in the shirt is the same as both of the dresses.  I bought the Urban Sunday suspenders half off at Horrock's after Christmas and he Gap chinos I picked up on clearance a year ago.  Teddy requested the hat at Carter's and I couldn't say no.  I'm really glad I got it.

Beauty and the Beast

Tillie and Tim went to the high school play this afternoon.  She wore a crewcuts cardigan, boutique tank(from DreamSpun), Gap jeans, Circo cat shoes and a crewcuts purse. I just got a box of bows for both girls from China this morning. There were two purples and two oranges, but neither matched her outfit. I started to get a little purple clip she has that matches perfectly, but I could see she was sad that she wouldn't get to wear one of the new bows, so I told her she could wear the white one. I love that my girl loves bows as much as I do. 

Yoda!

Yoda is Teddy's favorite Star Wars character.  He's also Tim's.  Teddy has not actually seen Star Wars yet.

Anyway, this crewcuts Yoda tee glows in the dark, which makes it even more awesome.  He's wearing it with Carter's skinny jeans.

Camp Kids

Teddy decided that he and Bebe should match today.  They're both wearing Camp acorns.  Beatrix has hers with an Old Navy denim skirt, Gap leggings and Robeez.  Teddy has a crewcuts tee and Gap jeans.

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.

50* Means Spring Clothes!

Sure, it was still 30* when we left for church, but the sun was out!  At least I haven't made them start posing for pictures outside.  Soon, though...

Teddy's wearing an Okaïdi button-up, crewcuts layering tee, Gap jeans(thrift store!) and navy TOMS.
This is the face he makes when you ask him to smile.

Beatrix is wearing a Janie & Jack Sweet Coral Reef dress($1 at OUAC) and Janie & Jack Tea Time cardigan(came with a swing top set from OUAC).  Her Circo shoes were Tillie's Easter shoes.  Her felt bow is a new design from Dear Grace and Parker that I clipped on a velvet headband.  

Tillie's outfit is a good example of how inexpensive pieces come together for a great looking outfit!  Her dress I bought yesterday at H&M for $5.  That's the regular price.  I bought the Boden "pretty cardigan" for $8 at a JBF sale last week.  (Here's a cute one for $10 at H&M.)  Her crewcuts necklace was a hand-me-down from my sister, but it's not hard to find inexpensive cute necklaces for girls.  Her Circo cat shoes I got on clearance last year for $5.  Silver shoes are awesome because they match so much!  Tillie picked out the yellow bow, since there are some yellow flowers on the dress.  I like that she picked that over pink or purple.  It's a little unexpected and really makes the outfit,  I think.

Children's Museum!

My cousin had some extra passes to the Children's Museum that expire tomorrow that she couldn't use.  We happily took them off her hands!  It had been about a year since my kids had last visited and they were so excited.

Teddy wore a Mini-Boden robot tee, crewcuts short-sleeved button-up, Gap skinny jeans and TOMS.

Tillie wore a crewcuts tank and cardigan, Gap skinny jeans and Circo cat shoes.

Beatrix is wearing a Gap Wayfarer top and cardigan with Gap skinny jeans.

Girl Swirl!

Tillie just left for her first dance -- a Daddy-Daughter Dance at school.  She wore a boutique dress from Polka Dot Pearl, Gap cardigan, crewcuts flats and necklace and a Dear Grace & Parker glitter clip.

I asked her how she wanted her hair, and she didn't know, but maybe a bun.  When I suggested trying a curly kind of bun she decided she just wanted curls with a clip.  I let her wear lipgloss and blush, too.

It's a Spring Tee Kind of Day

The warmer weather is so close I can taste it.  40+* next week?!  I'll take it!

Today the big kids are wearing crewcuts tees.  Teddy's jeans are H&M and Tillie's are Gap.  Her bow is DreamSpun.

Short Sleeves with Layers

I am so ready for spring clothes.  Of course, we still got 3 inches of snow today!

Beatrix is wearing a Naartjie outfit(garage sale) over an Old Navy bodysuit.

Teddy's wearing a crewcuts tee over an H&M long sleeved tee and Carter's gray skinny jeans.

Lazy Saturday

We have a lot of randomness going on today.  The kids stayed home all day, so I let them wear whatever they wanted.

I helped Teddy pick out a crewcuts car tee and Gap jersey pants.  Beatrix is wearing a Hanna Andersson playdress I got at Goodwill.  Tillie is wearing an Old Navy tunic with boutique leggings.  Not her best match, but whatever.

They were all trying on their new Zulily TOMS that arrived this morning.

Spring Birds

I'm just going to pretend it's not negative temperatures on our way to school.  Bring on the pastels and little bird cages!  I love this little Gap Wayfarer top on Bea.  I found it on clearance and when I was sorting the 6-12m clothes I realized it's from the same line as a cardigan my aunt gave me as a baby presents.  Score!  Her jeans are also Gap, her shoes are Livie & Luca and her headband is Inspired by Zoelle Olive.  If only my pretending were real and she could wear the top with just some ruffle bloomers!

My little Ted is becoming quite the model.  He chose this pose himself.  His tee is crewcuts and his skinny jeans are Carter's.

Sweet Pink Dress

I bought this Gymboree Holiday Teddy Bears dress when I was pregnant with Teddy.  Well he never wore it.  It's a 12-18m, so I thought it would be okay on Bea and probably wouldn't fit next summer.  I think the pink is a little too pale for her, but it is such a sweet dress.

Tillie's wearing a Maeli Rose sweater and a crewcuts tutu skirt.  She's posing kind of weird, but it really was cute together.

Teddy's wearing a Rabbit Moon button-up and Gap cords.

Pops of Neon Orange

Yeah, I know.  It's a pretty weird color to tie my kids outfits together with, but that's the way we roll in never-ending winter.

Teddy's wearing two crewcuts tees and Gap jeans.  I just love the model airplane tee layered over the blue-long sleeved one.

I don't know if Tim was just agreeing with me because he knew I wanted him to or not, but we're both sad that I won't be able to get matching Naartjie for the girls anymore.  Their bows are Dear Grace & Parker

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!

Random Wednesday

Today Bea's wearing a Gymboree Happy Hedgehog fall dress, but it was too big last fall. Kizie gave it to her. The striped BabyLegs are technically all the right colors, but I don't really love the styles together. It was too cold for just tights, so she had to go layered.

Teddy's wearing a crewcuts tee and Gap skinny jeans.
