Eliza style

It's no secret that I've enjoyed dressing my baby GIRL (now toddler)!

I am relatively interested in fashion. Not in any serious way, more just as a fun form of creative expression and an I-like-watching-Project-Runway kind of way.

My favorite recent discovery has been one that includes spending $0 while still allowing me to feel that Eliza's outfit is "trendy."

Eliza has grown SO MUCH over the summer. Her feet have grown 3 sizes, and so she now wears a size 6!? Future soccer player, anyone?

So she's started to outgrow a lot of the warm weather clothes that we got her, especially the dresses that seem to be made too short to begin with. However, I think it would be a waste at this point to buy more summer clothing, so instead I've paired her short dresses with her maybe a little too tight pants and the results are the cute tunic and legging combo:


I bought this reversible dress at Sam's Club for like $6 and the leggings from Wal-Mart for like $3, Bow and socks $0 from Boutique a la My Mom!, and her size 6 shoes for $25 at Stride Rite sponsored by Boutique a la My Mom! I had been stuffing her little/big feet in size 4's previously. Poor Eliza toes-ies.

And the best part is Eliza does not care AT ALL what I put her in! Anything that keeps the mosquitoes away, keeps her feet covered from broiling pavement, and protects her constantly skinned knees is great to her!

But she has been known on several occasions to streak out the back door Red Neck style across the ramp, down the driveway and into the front yard and street before we can catch her naked self and tackle her back into the house!

She's my feisty girl!
