i also got this top ($78) which looked good on, however when i showed it to the husband, he looked confused and didn't really know what to say. i tried to put words to his expression and asked him if i looked like a horse that just won a race and is wearing a flower wreath around my neck. he said, yeah, something like that.... so, this may not be a keeper... will have to sleep on it.
one good thing about husband is that he really tells the truth about my purchases. and i don't always agree with him, but i like that he takes a good look, thinks about it and then gives me an honest opinion. anything he flat out doesn't like, i usually return. if he wisened up, he wouldn't like anything i bought, but often he really likes what i buy. so, they're keepers!
bought a whole bunch of stuff online for baby. first from olive juice kids:
on sale for $43.95:
also on sale for $34.95 in the navy color:
and finally this to for $32.95:
these were no means bargains, but i bought them on sale for the fall. i try to buy baby's clothes a couple seasons ahead... i looked for a last fall/winters clearance clothing for baby for this coming fall, but none of the sites i usually buy from had anything good, and if they did, they didn't have anything in her size. this fall will be the first time i buy full priced in season clothing. this could get expensive considering my taste. one must have for the fall/winter for baby is a cashmere sweater. back before baby was born, her grandfather sponsored a shopping spree for at ralph lauren. one of the things i picked out was a cashmere cardigan with matching pants. it was quite expensive at $250. baby never wore the pants... but the sweater she wore pretty much every day from october until march. babycz makes luxurious cashmere clothing for little ones, however i'm not sure i want to spend the money...the double breasted cardigans run around $240. The cable knit pullovers are around $150. I actually knitted a cashmere roll neck pullover last summer for baby... but it ended up being too small for her by winter. my second mistake was i used needles that were a bit smaller than i should have which resulted in a very thick, sauna-like sweater. i should just undo the sweater and wind it up into balls because the yarn itself, i think, came to about $120. cashmere in any form is expensive!!!
anyway, a few notes on baby. she is her mother's daughter. she saw a cat for the first time today and she totally lit up and was completely fascinated by it. like her mom, she's an animal lover. she is finally sitting down to eat. we got her a booster seat that sits right on one of our dining chairs and she's been pretty good about sitting there. score! her appetite for food is also increasing. she loves pasta and meat sauce, ham and cheese sandwiches, strawberries, cheese melted on a bagel, yogurt... now if i can just get her to like milk....
