Okay, as promised... my little girl on picture day, styled kindergarten style. As for my son, well, let's be honest- he's just her accessory. Kind of like Ken to her Barbie. If he wanted to wear something more stylish, I'd be all over it but I had to barter to even get him in a button down collar (even one hidden by a plain shirt). (Do note the forced, fake smiles. I'm sure that's what the school photographer captured too. I can't believe I pay for those shots! I can get forced poses at home for free!).
On a craftier note, I FINALLY figured out how to make hair bows for my little girl. When you buy off the clearance, uh, vintage rack, there aren't always all the accessories left (like bows) so I improvised this cute one. I added the Eiffel tower part from a much older (vintage!) Gymboree line that I had gotten years ago. Funny thing is, I kept buying those clearance ponytail holder things even when I knew perfectly well that my little girl didn't (and still doesn't really) have thick enough hair to use them on. Rescuing it from non-use to add to this bow was a double score in that way.
Oh, and the best part of the ensemble? You know it was a big splurge to get the matching shoes. Totally unnecessary for a school photo (aka headshot) so I've felt a little guilty about them. In true sitcom style, when I picked up my little girl from school, she had expertly picked the buttons off both shoes. Well, not BOTH, as she informed me- just ONE. The other one fell off "MOSTLY" on it's own. Now they have long navy thread hanging all off the sides where the cute buttons used to be. Sigh. Maybe I can add those buttons to a matching hair bow, though...

You have ruined me. Now I am spending way too much time studying blog design.
This made me chuckle Angela, the button falling off "mostly" by itself rings so familiar to me with my youngest.
Your little one is such a cutie Angela, i bet the pics turn out great! For a boy, i think your young lad turned out very smart. You must be very proud.
you did it!!! very crafty of you ... great job on the bow, keep it up!
Everytime I try to enlarge the photo of your hair clips your S&P shakers come up instead. I wanted to see what kind of clips you used. Do you have an Angel Policy I don't know about? lol
