Once Amelia outgrew the infant clothing and moved into toddler sizes, I realized I became incredibly frustrated when shopping for her. I have a specific style and look that I like, and most stores just aren't supplying the items I want. For instance, I went into Macy's about 6 months ago in hopes of finding Amelia a nice dress. The entire section was filled with rhinestones, skulls, neon, and nothing that she could wear to church or to a birthday party. Now I'm not saying rhinestones shouldn't be worn! I'm just saying I don't want my daughter in that sort of thing daily. I have been a little happier this Fall with what's out. When I'm not buying her clothes online I usually shop at Nordstrom, Nordstrom Rack, Gap, Old Navy Target and H&M. Another thing I've noticed when shopping for clothes for Amelia... they don't sell skirts past the knee. Everything is made to hit mid-thigh and I've really been wanting to put her in longer skirts this winter. I decided to take matters into my own hands and make her a skirt (I couldn't even find a pattern for a longer skirt, so I just altered it myself). Here is the outfit below.

ReplyDeleteHaha, you crack me up!
DeleteI'd like to have Amelia's skirt in my size!! Maybe you should make a mommy/daughter matching skirt combo :)
ReplyDeletePerhaps a new section to one of my Etsy shops??? Haha, mommy/daughter matching skirts and aprons?
DeleteWow...you are talented! What a classic and lovely look for a lovely girl! It makes me happy to see someone else ncluding her little one in the weekly fashion post. Popped over from WIWW.

Thank you so much! It's definitely fun dressing her up. Thanks for stopping by.
DeleteShe looks adorable! I actually had a dress when I was little with a plaid skirt that looked very similar to this one, and the top was black! This is such a classic little girl's outfit!
