Pretty and Simple

I've started buying a few things for baby girl here and there.  She is so much fun to shop for, but I'm finding it trickier than I would have thought.  I'm very picky and particular when it comes to clothing (and most things really).  Whenever I browse the baby aisles I cringe at a lot of the outfits lining the racks.  I really can't stand anything with cheesy sayings or animal faces.  I don't understand why there has to be so many monkeys, bunnies, and kitties on baby clothes?  I am definitely finding myself leaning toward simple solids, pretty patterns and prints.  Really, the simpler the better.  After I dig for a bit I usually come away with one or two things I like, which is probably better for my wallet anyway ;).  One of my favorite places I've found baby clothing is the consignment store Kid to Kid.  That's where I found all three of the outfits above.  They were all used but are in mint condition and I only paid around $5 a piece for them.  I love finding cute outfits for that price.  It will be nice knowing I only paid $5 or less when she outgrows them too quickly or stains them with spit up.

I'm also picky about headbands (surprise, surprise).  I'm not a fan of the huge flowers bigger than the baby's head.  I know a lot of people love them and think they are darling, but they are just not my taste.  I found a few etsy shops that sell smaller flowers and bows just the size I like.  I may be picky but I think this little girl is going to have a cuter wardrobe than me!

  1. I know how you feel about headbands. I've tried putting headbands (even small ones) on Listen, and I take them off about five minutes later because I just think they look so silly on her.

    Those dresses are adorable!
