Wednesday, April 8th

On Wednesdays, I have bio lab and Riley goes to her grandmother's for a few hours. I never know what they will do or how dirty Ri will get so I have to pick an outfit that is cute for public, yet can withstand dirt and dogs. The dress is Matilda Jane's Pinkie Lap dress paired with some Babies R Us leggings I bought two years ago. Throw on a simple bow and some brown Converse and she's good to go!

No, it has not become drastically warmer in the midwest, but I believe it's 50 today, and since we're inside all day and winter clothes are becoming too small....we threw on a brand new outfit from Baby Gap. No idea of the line name and honestly, I didn't love it to begin with. But I had a coupon, and well, you know how that goes. I actually LOVE this combo together now. So young and vibrant, perfect for spring!

This shirt runs TINY, by the way. Riley wears a 2 and this shirt is a 3, she could probably have even went up to the size 4! The capris are size 2 and a beautiful fit. Of course we had to get the matching braided headband too, if only to validate Andrew's view of Riley's "hippie" clothing. This was our convo at Gap last night. Andrew: "Doesn't she already have that outfit from Matilda Jane?" Me: "Drew, it looks nothing like Matilda Jane." Andrew: "Well, it looks like hippie clothes like Matilda Jane." Me: "But it's cheaper." ANdrew: "Sold."

Get this, if she's wearing something that isn't particularily cute--she poses. Go figure. Today she stayed at home with Daddy all day and then we planned to go to a track meet, so she is in private school sweatshirt attire that forces me to roll my eyes. The jeans are from Baby Gap as are the Converse shoes. The bow is from Pink Hippo, and you can't see them, but today we did low piggies for the first time and they were CA-UTE. She looked so "grown up", or as grown up as an almost two year old can! Sorry for the junk pic today, I waited until bedtime to take it and there wasn't time to mess with the settings.

Sunday, April 5th

Thanks to the beautiful blizzard, we are still stuck in winter clothes here. Winter clothes that are stretching their "fit" limit. This is the last time you will see Miss Riley in Sweeter Than Chocolate. Bittersweet as it was my favorite line from Gymbo EVER. I think I'm going to be really selfish with this jumper and put it in a shadowbox as use for decoration in her pink and brown room.

Bring on the spring, PLEASE. Before I have to buy more winter clothes. Seriously, Mother Nature--we're at the end of our rope here!

Friday, April 3rd

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 :)

Oh Thursdays, how I love you. No classes, no responsibilities (other than the one you're staring at), just shopping and playing all day. It's my relaxing day, it's the day I wish for everyday. It's also the night Grey's Anatomy is on, which is the cherry on the top of the awesome FREE ice cream sundae Thursday always presents for me. Wait, scratch that--I hate cherries. It's the Strawberry of the sundae.

Anyway. Today Riley wandered the grocery store and the mall in this little Matilda Jane number. The dress is the Little Apple Knot Dress with the Fiona in Knit underneath it. Boden tights, and the Target boots. Her strawberry on the top of this delectible little outfit is the flowerband from LittleBeautyBoutique on etsy.

The second picture is showing off the coat that finally fits. From Luna Luna Copenhagen, I snagged this baby for half off during the last winter sale on Forest & Zoe. If only ALL Luna Luna came that cheap!

Also, I would like to apologize for the pictures of Riley staring off into space. It's not actually space she's staring at, it's the TV. I know, bad mommy--but it's really the only way I can get a picture of her indoors. I promise she doesn't watch tv ALL day ;)

Wednesday, April 1st

I suppose I could've put Riley in something really atrocious today and called it April Fools, but I forgot so you're stuck with Batik Chic from Baby Gap's fall trans line. Funny thing about "Fall Trans" lines, they totally work for spring transition as well in the midwest. Definitely worth the money.

The bow is from Pink Hippo and the boots are from Target. Those boots are just about at the end of their road, it will be a sad day for me when I am forced to pitch them--best purchase of the season, after all.
