We are literally snowed in. This is Iowa. One day it is almost 60 degrees and breezy, the next your driveway has 14 inches of snow and you are unable to leave. The state knows what it is doing, it traps its citizens in. Why else would I stay here? Anyway, Riley BEGGED to go play in the snow the minute she woke up. I held it off as long as possible, knowing all too well the moment I gave in she would make it a point to attempt to stay out ALL DAY. And she did. But I didn't let her freeze, and for that I suffered. When I went to dress her in snow appropriate clothes, I found I was ill prepared for this weather, so I improvised. "This polka dot mess will suffice" was the thought running through my mind as I bundled her up to brave the winter cold. Polka Dot Mess is compliments of Mini Boden (coat), Uggs (boots), and Gymboree (for everything else). Her style is clearly the envy of all the other tots in our neighborhood ready to pelt mommy with snowballs....even if she is the only tot in the neighborhood. :D

I'm so over this up down weather. Here is another barely fitting winter outfit, the top is from Mini Boden--my favorite Boden top EVER--and the pants are from Gymboree's Valentines line. They have the Boden-eque heart pockets and matched the red in the shirt so it will work for hanging around the house with Daddy. Throw on a flowerband from LittleBeautyBoutique (on etsy, look her up she is awesome) and her See Kai Run Geneva's and it's ready to be seen in public. By it, I mean the outfit, not my kid. ;) And again with the smiles when the lighting is bad and the outfit isn't my favorite. Rotten toddler. :D

Hey, Elvis check out Riley's impressive impression. She's just a hunk of burning love today in her Mini Boden hotchpotch shirt, Gymboree Sweeter Than Chocolate jeans, Converse shoes and bow given to us by the sweet LittleBeautyBoutique on etsy.

It's Friday, which means off to the grandparents and we will see you all again on Monday :)
