Baby Buys

Now that I'm pretty well set for my own Fall shopping as seen in this post. I've turned my attention to baby girl's fall apparel with some of these recent buys!





These "ruffle-butt" pants and the coordinated onsie are the baby version of a matching set! At least, that's how I'm treating them. I'm loving the darker tones and whimsical, bunny print for the chillier days ahead. 


I didn't actually pick up THIS pair of striped leggings, BUT they are similar to the several pairs I've purchased in anticipation of Little Miss crawling around. I mean, what's the point of crawling and learning to walk if you can't show off your gams in some stripes, amiright?!


Grey, ivory, and burdundy is a classic, yet unexpected color palette for fall and fairly gender-neutral(which I lean towards). And, having mix n' match onsies allows me to send one to daycare in case of an accident.  



This striped dress keeps the color story going from above. With dresses you can mix and match tights, and/or leggings. I can also see this working with baby jeans. The dress-over-pants trend isn't just for us adult outfitters. 

Duh, obvie! 




And for some fun I picked up a few pairs of  baby "leggings" aka leg-warmers for my baby and some friends' babies from the aptly named Baby Leggings






The patterns are great, no? Southwest-inspired, stripes, mustaches, fawns, birds--they are fairly unisex and apparently one-size fits all.  I know baby leg-warmers may seem a bit ridic, HOWEVER they do offer easy access for diaper changes while baby's legs stay warm. I'm thinking they'll also provide great coverage as my baby girl starts crawling on our hardwood floors.  PLUS, they have themed pairs, which are a cute nod to the season/holiday, see below:


I love the idea of holiday-theme leggings that the baby can wear more than once, as they fit newborns-up to 24 months. So her Halloween flair is set for this year and the next! 



And while all of these retailers are fairly run-of-the-mill, in a good way as I REFUSE to spend too much money on clothes she'll grow out of in less than 3 months, there ARE some companies that are indeed aspirational....




This onsie is adorable and there have several fun graphic pieces similar to this WITH matching sweatpants, but at $40(!!!) for a casual piece that she'll probably poop through, even on sale at $20 it's just not practical. 



Speaking of totally impractical but fantasy-level baby fashion....



Janie and Jack's current fall offerings are my little girl equestrian dreams!!! This entire outfit, (which of course isn't complete since you'd need a shirt) costs $183!!!!  Those wellies, poncho, and plaid pants are just the tip of the iceberg. Look at this dress!!!!


ARE YOU FREAKIN' KIDDING ME!!! I would have died for this dress as a little girl, and so would my parents at the price--$69. 

Here's the thing, I'm not a miser by any means, but I have to be strict when it comes to shopping for baby girl. There are so many adorable and cute options out there that speak to my personal style and childhood fantasies. So, I've made it a rule to NEVER pay full price on baby clothes, because there are usually sales, plus Once Upon A Child is great thrifting option, and grandparents usually come baring gifts when they visit. 

And with the bunny-print matching set, stripes galore, and girl-positive message tops I think Little Miss will be rocking some pretty stellar looks come fall!

Annie Lennox Realness!

Love the tuxedo detail of these cropped pants. coat/pants-Jcrew(similar here and here ), blazer-Zara(similar here ), shirt-Asos(sort of similar here ), shoes-DSW(really cool here ), gloves-Brian Atwood for Neiman Marcus/Target(more gloves here ), sunglasses-Banana Republic(similar here ) I'm feeling very Annie Lennox circa Eurythmics in this outfit, eh? Most times wearing a coat is a necessity, not necessarily an intricate part of the outfit, but here it really makes the look. And even though the blazer is covered up the hints of it, almost like a lining, work break up an all grey/white look.  And now for your viewing pleasure  Sweet Dreams:   Have a great weekend!

Hamptons-Poolside-Chic meets Sue Ellen Ewing Early '80's Realness

Okay, this post title is ridiculous I know, BUT come on, it's accurate am I right? blouse- JOA via Le Tote , necklace/bracelet- Le Tote , trousers- Zara , belt-J.Crew,(similar here ) wedges- Sole Society These pleated drapey pants scream early 80's glamour. Paired with this sailor-suit-esque blouse I was definitely ready for a seaside cocktail party, right? This outfit also called to mind the elegance of early 80's  Dallas .  It has been my experience that as a child of the 80's one's house was either in the Dallas camp or the Dynasty camp. We were a Dallas household for sures. So, one of my earliest style influences was Sue Ellen Ewing . Despite the pills, the booze, the philandering husband, and lost potential of a life on her own terms Miss Sue Ellen kept it quite fierce especially in the early years of the show.  Here she is serving up sternum-baring chic!  I tried to watch the reboot of the series on TNT, but I just couldn...

Cowboy Boots & Floral Skirts

Western wear has seen a resurgence here with the Cowboy Carter of it all, among other influences. I'm not one for cowgirl cosplay, but I do enjoy a good boot. Here I've styled by western boots with a mixed print autumnal outfit.  Blazer-- Luciano Barbera via Threadflip(now defunct), henley-Gap(similar here ), shirt-Uniqlo(similar here ), skirt- Amazon , boots-Coconuts via DSW(similar here ), necklace/bracelet- Slide Jewelry , ring/necklace-Ana Luisa(similar here and here ) I last featured these boots in a spring/summer look here . And I styled them with this same skirt back in April here . While this top is part of a "matching set" featured here  I'm doing the classic styling hack of "breaking it up" and the olive green coordinates with the skirt. You can watch my reel of the cinching drawstring features of this shirt here .  Again I'm wearing the promotional Slide Jewelry set. Here's a referral link to also become an ambassador for discounts ...
