Starting the 17th of August,
D's classroom began having color days. The 17th was
Red day . The 18th was
Yellow day. The 21st was
Blue day. The 22nd was
Green day. The 23rd was
Orange day. The 24th was
Purple day. Ok, so all those were easy breezy because we have really cute outfits in all of those colors. But then came the 25th which was
Brown day!
Now, I know that brown is all the rage right now, but my baby girl didn't own one brown thing! So what else could we do? We went shopping
! It was so fun. We giggled and laughed up a storm. This is the first time
D really got into shopping in a "big girl" sense. She just
had to go into the fitting room and try the things on. Then she went out to the three way mirror and looked at her rear view and even shook her bootie to see the ruffles - ruff. I really was surprised at the amount of brown things they had for 5 year olds! Of course some of it was too grownie for my taste. I want her to dress like a little girl as long as possible because I know it won't be long before she is going to have wayyy too many opinions regarding her clothing!
Well, today was
Black day. I had already gotten her a pair of those black leggings with the lace bottom to wear under a jean mini-skirt, but we didn't have any summery black for the top. So we went to Targ*t on Saturday and bought her a cute little pink and black striped rugby top to wear today.
Who knows what color day tomorrow will be, we may be shopping again tonight - bummer!
Keep your chin up and I hope the adoption
time flies be so that you can have V home with you.
D looks so grown up and little at the same time in that picture. Such a Cutie!
I'm with you on the dress them like kids while they're kids theory. I don't understand this trend of far too adult clothing for little kids.
Nothing black that was even reasonable for Texas August. So, I ran to W*llm*rt and got some black Hawaiian print and whipped her up a sundress--tied around the neck--precious! May post pic on blog.
I promise you, Kindergarten was never so much fun when I sent my son!
