Style notes: Nov. 2010 edition

After some ruthless clothes purging, Lily has adopted many of my "fancy" shirts as dresses. Throw in a little up-do and a tiara and you're set!

Looks like we missed October, mostly due to the illnesses that would never end – and then there was the ear infection that she's still on antibiotics for:

But we're practically all healthy now. Just in time to make Christmas presents and goodies... And go to Christmas parties and concerts where there will be ample opportunity to make fashion statements.  Like this one:

Lily was a purple princess for neighbour Carly's birthday party.

And what's better than wrapping a scarf (left) or a shawl and a piece of fabric of Mom's to make you feel all dolled up? She spends many an afternoon getting gorgeous...while I chase her around and ask for just one picture for her website... Isn't it worth it?

Style notes: Sept. 2010 edition

 

As the weather gets cooler, she's beginning to accessorize more...even if the accessories are just made of yarn. The dress is cute. A little short, but it used to be a shirt that I shirred with elastic thread to shrink the neck and sleeves. The belt really makes it.

 

 

The creativity is there, though, with this fancy skirt made of tissue paper from her birthday party.

And then she discovered the up-do – and gold lipstick. Looking this good to go to the grocery store... She says, "I like getting dolled up to go shopping."

 

And then there's getting all dolled up just to stay in the house all Saturday. Complete with heels and clip-on earrings. Gorgeous!

Style notes: Aug. 2010 edition

As she gets older, I'm guessing her desire to express herself through the clothes (and accessories) she wears will just get more...interesting. So welcome to the first edition of Lily's style notes. This kid has a lot more style than I've ever had.
