Fashion Downsized – Girls Just Wanna Have Fun!

March 10, 2011 2 Comments

I don’t know a whole lot of little girls who don’t like to play dress up. At the tender ages of two and six, my girls already have strong opinions about what to wear. They would think nothing of leaving the house with multiple layers of tulle, lace, and just about every color combo possible, all rolled into one fantastic outfit. But with today’s trends of mixed prints, ruffles, and even tutus as daywear, every day clothing can let them feel as much like a princess anything that comes out of the costume box.

  • Hey guys, I’m excited to be posting on Wild Ruffle today for Cate. I blog about life, advocating for the orphan, thrifting and crafts over at A Harvest of Blessing.

  • I purchased these pleather shorts from H&M last fall and wore them a couple of times. But lately, they’ve become my favorite thing to put on.

  • As I type, the sun is finally peeking out through the clouds, and it looks like it’s going to be a pretty darn nice day here in Minnesota. Dare I say – it may even feel like summer? Warmer temps mean showing off those toes, and that means I better touch up the polish before… [Continue Reading]

  • I’ve done my fair share of complaining about the rain. But yesterday, I did nothing of the sort. We didn’t see any sunshine – in fact, it absolutely dumped buckets of rain here in Minnesota.
