Fashion follow-up

I know everyone has been on the edge of their seats wondering about the fate of the Christmas dresses!  After Emily spilled on the butterfly dress on Saturday (30th) I washed all the dresses as soon as she went to bed and set up the ultimate test before she woke up in the morning.


This is what Emily looked like coming down the stairs on Sunday morning.


Emily ended up wearing the Christmas dress most of the day on Sunday (31st) even though we didn't make it to church on account of her green, runny nose and general family fatigue.

However, this was the get-up on Monday morning.  Poor George!


She was wearing the same thing on Tuesday morning, but I told her she couldn't wear the butterfly dress to the grocery store because it was too cold.  So this is what she came up with. (Notice she also always changes headbands to match--the girl's got some fashion sense.)


Watch out, Hy-Vee!  Maybe I should have stuck with the Christmas dresses. :op  At least she did it willingly.  However, the minute we stepped in the door back at home she put the butterfly dress on again.  We made a trip to Waterloo later in the afternoon.  Again, she willingly changed into a shirt (a different purple/brown one), but immediately put the dress back on as soon as we got home.

This morning she came down the stairs in the butterfly dress again, but I actually convinced her to wear a truly matching outfit (I picked the shirt that went with the purple leggings she already had on) with satisfactory socks/shoes to the library for story time.  There is hope!  I didn't get a picture before the butterfly dress was back on again, though.  Sigh.

I'm curious to see what happens with Harlie since I'm not much a style person. Luckily with boys clothes, most things go together. Although today, Wendell chose to wear swim trunks under his clothes. Oh well.. we didn't go anywhere so I didn't care. So far, he's pretty good about letting me pick out his outfit if I want... but I'm sure that will change soon.

Megan,
I think Emily is hillarious in her dresses, and dressing up George!!! Is there a local 2nd hand store you could go to and pick up a few more dresses and leggings to go with them?? At least she is adorable!!! And alas...this too shall eventually pass, but who knows what the next stage will be.
