Taking the Mustache Fad Too Far

By Earl
Back when we were born, we weren't too into fads.  In fact, Ms. Mommy once vowed that we would always maintain the simple, classical styles of early childhood.  Well, guess what? We're two and a half now and Petunia's decided to throw all that out the window.

The mustache fad has literally been around my entire life and I declare it has gone on too long! At first it was funny (but then again, so were baby rattles and teething toys).

Unlike me, Petunia has become entranced by the latest fashion.  So much that she decided to create her own mustache from dirt and chalk found in our garage.

 Dear Lord, Help me!  This fad has gone too far!

Friday Fashion Faux Pas

By Petunia

I'm usually the idea person in the house.  We wake up in the morning, it's my idea to turn on the "la-lak" (music, for those of you babies not in the know) and I sometimes have to remind Ms. Mommy when it's time to change me or put me down for a nap.  Sometimes, Ms. Mommy comes out with a great idea, like, oh, visiting the zoo! 

But you can't always trust her ideas, like, oh, these shorts on sweatpants.

Umm...did you see that? Shorts over sweatpants? Oh, Ms. Mommy.

Friday Fashion Faux Pas

By Petunia

Happy Friday the 13th!  In accordance with the curse of the day, I pulled up a horrid piece from my past.  I can share this without being totally ashamed because, obviously, I was too young to pick it out for myself.  Please tell me you didn't think I'd pick this out myself?! I'm tearing up again just at the thought of it.

Usually, I'm all about contrasting colors and patterns.  When done right.  Dear Mr. Daddy, let's not see a repeat of this atrocity this summer.

What I Wore - Faux Pas Edition

by Petunia

Happy Sunday, Fashion Friends! We apologize for not updating the blog yesterday. I'm afraid we were out having too much St. Patrick's Day fun with Mr. Daddy and Ms. Mommy. To make it up to you, today we're going to post more than once! First, I am going to share a fashion faux pas. This isn't really my faux pas, it's my Daddy's fault. 

What I wore to the park last week, when Daddy took the day off work and thought he'd try his hand at being my stylist: 

Why, Daddy, why?!

Shirt: Gymboree

Bodysuit: Carter's

Pants: Lazoo

Tights (not really visible): Baby Legs

Socks: Carter's

Shoes: Stride Rite

Hat (on the grass): Gymboree

Outfit Name: Daddy's Pick

Petunia's Fashion Rating: This doesn't even deserve a rating.

Earl's Fashion Rating: 1/10, because some of the colors kind of match.

What Hank Wore To The Park

By Petunia

Today we're taking a look at one of Hank's past fashion choices.  Unfortunately, it's not far enough in the past for me to be over it yet.  Hank's going through (let us pray) a phase where he's insisting on picking out his own clothes.  Since my big brother's a three year old genius, he's also learning about matching colors.  Matching is important, but Sesame Street really ought to be simultaneously teaching lessons on coordinating colors. 

If I could get Hank to listen to just one thing I say, I'd tell him it's not okay to match the same color clothing on top of each other.  He doesn't care about matching his shoes, but pants and shirts he throws a fit about! Boys!

Since we're on the subject, can we also discuss his color choice for the day?! Grey? Look at that blue sky! And sweatpants and a polo?!

Hank gets 1 style point for being able to climb so high on the jungle gym.  Earl insists on giving him 2 because, well, look at how high Hank's climbing!

What Were We Thinking?

by Earl
Look, layers were "in" and so were bold, bright patterns. Hindsight is 20/20, and that's all I'm going to say about our fashion choices from this brisk Summer day last June.
