Summer Dresses for My Little One

I just discovered an online shop that is exclusively for children. I love the colors and the designs of the dresses for girls, they are just perfect for my little one. It's called Tea Collection and below are just some of the dresses that I would love to get for my little girl.

The sandals are very colorful, lightweight and made of leather. Just perfect for hot summer days and for play because it allows the feet to breathe. You wouldn't have to worry about the leather getting wet because it is waterproof. Cool eh?

But I know I have to stop myself and wait for my PIL (parents in law) to arrive on Thursday, June 24. I ask Nanay and my mom to buy some summer clothes and foot wear for my little girl and they already that they bought lots for her. So there's no need for me buy these dresses and foot wear just yet. I just have to be patient and wait till they arrive. It's only three more days and they will finally be here. I am excited. I know they are too.

And I am thankful that we will be seeing family again after a while. Thank God for willing it.

Children's Clothing Free At Last!

What to wear to the slumber party, the swimming pool, the sixth grade picnic? What says, "look at me!" and, "I'm too cool to care" at the same time? So many questions for the young fashionista...

It used to be that children didn't have any say in the matter of what they wore. In fact, until the late 1800's, there really was no such thing as children's clothing. Parents dressed up their children like miniature versions of themselves, in tight, uncomfortable garments that limited their movement and labeled their place in society. Young boys in Little Lord Fauntleroy suits reflected daddy's formal wear and his oh-so-important social status. Little girls in stiff lace and petticoats sat still and upright like mama.

Today's kids have broken free. It's all about comfort, casual and COOL. Little boys will wear shorts or jeans with plenty of room to move. Cargo pants, athletic shorts, or classics in plaid, solids and camouflage are all popular with the jungle gym set. Add a tee, polo or button-down shirt and Zach is ready to go. Hoodies, sneakers, or Van's skate shoes and he's outta here. It's a brave new world, mama, and we gotta run...

Girls love to express themselves in layers of multicolored t-shirts, camisoles, shawls and scarves. And it's her choice: skirt or trousers--or why not both? For the slender young filly with long legs, it's a fun and funky combo. Or wear opaque tights with crazy patterns for another bold look. And underneath those skirts, how about classic Mary Janes or brightly colored rain boots? There's no rule but cool, and the more fun the better!

No doubt mom and dad will still have an influence on their child's look. There are children's clothing lines in surfer, preppy, vintage, and even couture styles. But when it comes to freedom in fashion, you've come a long way, baby!
