Little P makes Carter’s Look Good! (and Giveaway!)

18 Feb By 204 Comments

Spring is my favorite time of year! It is not too hot and not too cold. Of course you may be asking yourself “What spring?” if you are in the middle of snow still, but I assure you according to the flowers, red ants, and bits of grass coming up on my street, Spring is just a hop, skip, and a jump away.

Now one of my favorite things about spring are all the new clothing lines. I have talked about Carters many times on MomDot because its such a staple in my home and it remains that way still. From the day my daughter came home 8 years ago and every day with my growing son, there are endless possibilities of onesies, jackets, outfits, and short sets that are sure to help keep your baby boy to big kid looking stylish and fun all year round.

Just check out Phoenyx outside playing with Daddy today….. a Carter’s shirt and pants (and no, I didn’t dress him for this article…he was just wearing Carter’s as usual!).

The real question is does Little P make Carters look good or does Carter’s make Little P look good?

Noctis Threads: Adult Wear

4 Feb By 4 Comments

I like to shop.

I think that much is apparent.

But there are a few things I have a hard time finding. One is clothing to fit my short body style and two, to fit my short body style without being kids or teenage wear.

That isnt to say I dont like and enjoy bright, colorful, and fun brands, because I do, but I dont need it to say “Hot Sexy” on the front of a T-shirt I wear either.

Introducing Noctis Threads

[box type="info"]Don’t wear Noctis, let Noctis wear you. Noctis represents elegance when you are out for a night of flying free, stealth when you are on the hunt for prey or having a hooting good time partying it up.[/box]

Noctis carries fun and funky {and affordable}  T-shirts for men and women.

They also carry polo style dresses, hoodies, intimates in adult friendly and trendy styles.

I recently had an opp to test out a Noctis Thread shirt and the shirt was spot on in sizing. I have also been washing it continuously for a few months with no more than normal wear and tear on the fabric and no issues with pulling or stretching.

Good Lad Girls

20 Jan By 1 Comment

Charlotte is 100% a girly girl in the fact that she would give anything to wear a pretty dress and put on clear lip-gloss for the day. Now lets not get into the fact that while doing so she would probably be rolling around in the dirt and asking for permission to jump on a trampoline.

She is the best of both worlds.

Because of that, I am always on the look out for new dresses, affordable dresses, dresses that I can fill her closet up for holidays and for non-holidays. Really, with the invention of leggings and baby legs, its always the right time to wear a dress.

Today on Zulily, you can get into the Easter mood and snag some on sale frocks with Good Lad Girls.

[box type="info"]Morris Sheintoch began manufacturing dress clothes for little boys in Philadelphia in 1945 under the label Good Lad. Over six decades later, the company is still headquartered in the City of Brotherly Love. While they excel at creating quality, classic sets for boys, Good Lad has also branched out designing beautiful dresses for girls in both traditional and modern styles.[/box]

Check out these on sale Good Lad Girls dresses you can pick up in preparation for family photos (From $23.99-$26.99)

Turquoise is the new pink. In this cute frock, even not so girly girls will love to spin, showing off their colors. Perfect for Easter, May Day and pre-school graduation parties. A little matching bolero keeps her arms warm during fickle spring weather.

A few others that are adorable and more traditional in color for the spring:

Even with all that pink, Charlottes style is more this:

Cute! Cute!

And with Easter dresses, come easter weather. I can hardly wait!

Baby Girl or Kid Girl, What’s the difference?

12 Apr By 41 Comments

Well, if you ask me, Style.

We walked into Gymboree (*btw it’s Gymbucks redemption time) and my heart does a little flip flop when I opened the door.

Mommy. In. Lust.

I go straight to the swimsuit there on the bottom and Charlotte goes straight to the seat in the back to watch tv.

We both know our place.

And then I start to notice that all the really cute stuff in the line is ‘baby girl’. Now for Gymboree, ‘baby girl’ is size 5T and under, ‘kid girl’ is 3-12. I want my baby to still look like a little girl. I mean, she is a little girl. She just doesn’t fit those sizes anymore.

I hate that she has to wear the older styles just because she is a bigger kid. While some of the differences are slight in the shirts, in the  swimsuits the difference is 1 to 2 pieces.

I don’t want her wearing a bikini.

Baby girl

Kid girl

See?

And in the dresses, the baby girl goes from like an easy step in and zip up, to  a criss cross back that she cant figure out on her own. Those harder-to-get-on clothing frustrate her and she just wont like something as a result. Not that I blame her.

Not every child is the same size and just because they are a size 6, doesn’t mean they are 6.

Or 7.

Or 8.

Nonetheless, the stuff is adorable if you have a kid 5T and under.

(for the record, I felt like a criminal taking these pictures)

Of course when it comes down to it, no matter what I love, if Charlotte is with me, I let her pick her own things.

Although I tried to talk her into some other shorts…she stuck to her guns.

She settled on this giraffe shirt from the Glamor Safari line and matching khaki shorts and socks, and I would show you them, but she insists on wearing this tutu skirt every where we go (from Target, best $10 I ever spent)…so there ya have it.

Do you have a problem finding clothing that is not only the right size, but the right look for their age? Maybe I’m just a prude when it comes to my daughter.

And she isn’t dating till she’s married.
