Liberty and Stripes

I love this Liberty of London for Target dress.  It's a 3t and Tillie wore it last summer on Sunday during red white and blue week too!  Keens, blah, blah, blah, Camp shoes.  Thankfully, she really likes this dress too.  I think it will officially get packed away now as it's getting a bit short.

Teddy's wearing a Gap outlet polo and Carter's shorts.  The shorts are from Once Upon A Child's dollar sale last summer and the polo is either from a garage sale or Goodwill.

Polka Dots & Plaid

Teddy's wearing OshKosh shortalls and a Koala Kids ringer tee today.

Tillie is wearing a Carter's dress from last summer with crewcuts flip-flops.

p.s. I'm using a Chromebook at Camp this week.  It's not awesome for uploading and editing pictures, so I've been using Tim's iPad to blog and take outfit pictures.  I can't get it to center the pictures correctly.

Red, White & Blue Week

For the next week my family will be rocking red, white, and or blue to begin the celebration of the 4th of  July.

 Tillie is wearing a Gap Playtime Favorites dress that we found at Goodwill a couple weeks ago. She had a tunic leggings set in this same stripe. We added the striped knit fabric so it was a little more festive. She picked the Keens, I would have gone with tan Salt-Waters.

Teddy is wearing a Crazy 8 crab shirt with Gap khaki shorts with navy Squeak Me sandals. The crab was appropriate for his mood while taking these pictures.

Stripes

We're all rocking stripes today.  Tillie's wearing a Gap Cannes dress with crewcuts flip-flops.

Teddy's wearing a Jumping Beans set from Kohl's.  The shirt makes me laugh, the shorts remind me of Mini-Boden and were both purchased cheaply with a 30% off coupon. Win-win-win.

After breakfast at Camp we went to the market and ate French macarons.  Lovely.  My kids wholeheartedly approved. (And then we brought Uncle Philip's camera back. :( )

Sweet Find

A couple weeks ago we were running errands and I gave Tillie the choice as to whether or not we would stop at Goodwill before going home.  I'm so glad she chose the store!  I found this Tea Collection dress there for $1.99!  (And three Gap dresses in her size.)  Wearing it with pink Keens wouldn't be my first choice, but it's great for Camp.

Preppy Baby

I think it's been well documented that Teddy is a little smaller than I expected him to be.  I hit up a garage sale recently where I found a handful of things in 18m that should fit him better for at least the first half of summer.  (Please, let's not talk about the matching Christmas 2t outfits that are sure to not fit him in December.)  The patchwork madras shorts from The Children's Place and Ralph Lauren polo are two of his new items.  It was a little cool this morning, so I layered the polo with a Carter's bodysuit.

Firetruck!

My little Ted loves firetrucks.  Anything with wheels is called firetruck at first glance, especially if it's red.  (Except tractors.  He's quite fond of those too.)  My friend Laura handed-down some Carter's firetruck rompers from her son.  Ted is a fan.

Father's Day Produce

My kids "match" today because of embroidered fruits and veggies.

Tillie's wearing a 3t Gymboree Strawberry Farm pinafore dress.  I I to have her wear it once this summer because it's so darling, but it is a little short this year.

Teddy's romper is from the Gap Peter Rabbit line.  I lucked into this romper in 18-24m on price kill for under $5.  This line was very well done and it's noticeable in little things like the carrot and radish placement. There is one perfect spaced radish on each sleeve.  They're centered throughout the rest of the romper and the whole thing is lined with soft jersey.  Ted's still a little short for it, but I think it will fit nicely come August. (And hopefully I'll get a better picture of him in it by then!)

Tillie and I ran a few errands after coming home from Camp today.  She said, "Let's wear this beautiful one.  I love the doggies!  They're so cute!"  It's really an 18m dress that I gave to a friend as a baby gift.  She gave it back to me for a future daughter some day and Tillie saw it at home.  She asked to try it on, so I let her.  What do you know, it fits her like a tunic.  It's the Matilda Jane Lovely Bird dress.  I wish I had cute shorties to match(or that I hadn't sold the ballet leggings!), but these navy Circo bike shorts worked fine today.

Sunny Friday!

It's a lovely day at Camp.  Tillie is wearing a Carter's skirt(thrift store) and Gymboree tee(same sale as Teddy's shorts earlier this week) with her yellow Salt-Water Sandals.

The skirt is really faded in a few places, but it was only 50¢ on half-price day.  I don't love the style of the white shirt, but my mom only paid 80¢ for it.  Perfect Camp outfit.

Play Clothes

I struggle a little bit with play clothes.  I like clothes a little too much to just throw any old thing on them.  I buy a lot of clothes at thrift stores and garage sales, but I'm still picky about what I buy.  These two outfits are play clothes that "work" for me.  Well, kind of.

Teddy's outfit is actually knew, but Jumping Beans from Kohl's can be had very inexpensively if you watch for coupons and markdowns.  I got this top for $2 and my mom got the shorts for less than $4 I think.  The shorts remind me of Mini-Boden.  I got his Genuine Kids sandals on half price day at the thrift store.  Yeah, I think they were worth 50¢.

I got Tillie this Gap Coral dress at Goodwill.  Her Keen sandals wouldn't be my first choice with it, but they're perfect for Camp.  I got them for $7 from Piperlime with a referral credit earlier this spring.  She LOVES this dress.

Opening Day Apparel

Tillie and Teddy are both rocking their Camp staff kid shirts today.  Tillie is wearing 3t khaki shorts that she's already worn the last two summers.  They're decidedly shorter now.  Teddy is wearing turtle embroidered shorts from Gymboree's Turtle-y Cute line.  My mom bought them(and a matching plaid shirt) last fall when Gymboree had 50% off markdowns and we had a 20% off coupon.  We got TONS of 18-24m shorts for Ted this summer.  They're pretty much all too big.  I love that his shorts basically go to his ankle and you can't really see Tillie's shorts under her shirt. (Well, throughout the day, I pulled them down for this picture.)

Not Really a Post

In the crazy moving to and from and to Camp this week, I haven't taken any pictures of my kids outfits in a while.  Most of them aren't worth photographing, to be honest.  Or, if they were, Teddy is beyond messy within 15 minutes of getting dressed.  I'm going to have to take pictures immediately after dressing him at Camp!

Anyway, here's a picture of Tillie in the Georgia Grace Simple Life halter that I took a few weeks ago.  My mom bought it for her and I made red shorties to go with itfrom Old Navy leggings.  They're both size 5 and a little too big.  She might wear it once or twice later this summer, but suspect it will be worn a lot next summer because as soon as I showed Tillie the shorties she said, "Are you going to take my picture?  Let's do it now!"

I also made the necklace.  I can't wait until it all fits well!
