It's so much fun to pull out new fall clothes as the weather gets cooler! We are loving seeing our two girls in embellished jeans and soft patchwork dresses.
Our preschooler loves the "Accessorize Me!" collection -- I think she would wear it every day if it weren't for having to wash it!
Our toddler's favorite is "Pixy Friends." She calls the dress her "rain" dress because of the sprinkle-dot
print!
And, of course, they both can't wait to get close enough to Christmas to pull out "Nutcracker Ballet!
Are we dressing up our little princesses in trendy boutique style for them? For ourselves? For the people we meet?
There may be no single answer. I certainly don't want to pressure my little girls to wear something for my sake, or be someone they are not, for the sake of impressing my friends.
But the fact remains, a baby girl seems to beg, by her very nature, to be dressed beautifully! Like a flower, she seems to inspire us to look, admire, and enjoy!
If we can find clothes that she feels expresses who she is, we are doing her a bigger service than we may realize. A toddler is naturally bent on defining herself. We can help make that process positive and fun!
Why is boutique clothing such a popular option for toddler girls?
It probably seems frivolous to some... those who have never fallen in love with a baby girl!
One thing I never knew before I had daughters is that they CARE what they wear -- Oh, yes they do!!
Though it takes extra effort and maybe a little more money, seeing my daughters' delight in a puppy or a ballerina on their dresses makes it all worthwhile!
