A little Sunday shopping recap

The last time I mentioned Old Navy was back in February, quite some time ago, huh? Well, I hopped into the store yesterday after the bookstore in an effort to find my growing niece a few pieces. My sister always jokes that whenever I shop for "A" that she ends up looking like a little mini me. Well, I know what I like and I don't like kids in cartoon themed outfits (ahhh, sorry, please don't send me hate mail). I think my mom ruined me on one too many princess outfits.

I think I jumped up and down when I saw this coat, and no, I am not above jumping up and down in a store.
Plaid Flannel Coat for Baby, urban dwelling gray $20 (from $29.50)

Polka dots and ruffles. I die.
Ruffled Oxford Shirts for Baby, Lavender Sprig $9 from $14.50

I decided to treat myself to a little something as well (I've been working hard!)
I'm wearing this dress as I type and I think it's one of the most comfortable pieces EVER. I might have to buy one in every color and start sleeping in them.
Women's V Neck Jersey Dresses $15


I'm currently wearing this scarf with the dress and I'm perfectly work appropriate, my boss already complimented it (whew, you have to question jersey in the office).
Women's Lightweight Plaid Scarf $8 (from $12.50)

Have I mentioned how much I love my Sundays off? B mentioned yesterday that he thinks I'm a "whole new person" when I have a day off and that I'm "much more relaxed" throughout the week. Note to self- never work seven days a week again.

Little frocks

As you know, I don't write a lot (or any really) on children's clothing, but what you may not know is that I have a five year old niece and this gives me the perfect excuse to pay attention to children's fashion. Here she is...'A' meet readers, readers meet 'A.'

Recently I stumbled upon a brand-spanking new Etsy shop, The Measure, and I was immediately taken by the photographs and sweet designs.

Did I mention that this shop follows an "upcycled, sustainable fashion" philosophy?

I'd like this adorable ruffle dress in my size please.

How cute are these little models?

Anslei's birthday is coming up and I'm pretty sure she'd look adorable in one of these frocks. See more at The Measure.
Ok, wish me luck, I have an interview this afternoon for a promotion (yes, I have to fight for promotions.) Deep breaths.
