How do you dress your baby? What style?

Hmm...not sure what style...I guess sporty/preppy but also cute? Hubby and I actually vary on this, he doesn't like it when I dress her like a kid lol. You know, comfy stretch pants... he likes dressing her like a little grown up. I love putting jeans or other structured pants on her, but don't have to do it everyday...he prefers if she looked like that every day though.


He has always hated onesies so when we stopped several months back because she kept getting a diaper rash was his favorite day ever.

He also loves dressing her like a boy. I don't mind her looking sporty or like a tomboy but when we go shopping he'll go straight to the boys section.

Any certain styles you do not like? Or have a favorite style?

I'm not into the superfrilly/girly things, no hot pink leopard looks either. Although to be honest I have been dressing her more girly lately...I used to run from anything pink but then she had no pink so now I'll get her some occasionally. LOVE putting her hair in ponytails or clips but she's been pulling them out lately. I can't wait until we move, it'll be warmer, and I can put her in summery dresses.

Any favorites colors? Or Colors you do not like on your baby?

I like bright or bold colors on her. Super pale colors don't always look the best on her because she has dark skin. Not a huge fan of black on her although she does have some black clothes.

Shoes or no shoes?

Usually shoes unless its hot.

Socks or no socks?

Yes but just because her sandals don't fit her yet. I need to get her a smaller pair I think.

funny thing ..now that DF is home with Sydney, some days I come home and I can't believe what she is in! He took her to the park once with a patterned pair of pants, patterned top, patterned socks and a patterned jacket --- none of which matched! I laughed so loud at the pictures of her and what she was wearing!

Then, last week I come home and I see her and I'm like "Oh, it's a pajama day! You've been in pajamas all day!" DF is like "what, these are pjs?". He took her out all day in pajamas. Went to Costco, the park, etc.

We really don't have a "style" --- sometimes it's super girly (with tutus) sometimes it's preppy casual. I just go with what we like! Sean really likes the RL Polo dresses with leg warmers, because he'll always say, "I like this on her." LOL

Any certain styles you do not like? Or have a favorite style?
I don't like anything cheesy I guess? haha. I guess I like the preppy look.

Any favorites colors? Or Colors you do not like on your baby?
Pink, yellow, red....I'm such a 1st time mom, everyday I have a favorite color on her haha.

Shoes or no shoes?
I didn't really like shoes until she could walk, but I still GOT them.
Our favorite kind are See Kai Run shoes. She's got really fat feet and they fit well.
Although sometimes when we go on walks I leave shoes off because she likes to kick her feet and let the wind hit them! Oh and I LOVE baby espadrille shoes....omg. Old Navy had them this year, so did Children's Place. They also fit her really good.

Socks or no socks?
Really haven't been using socks since it's been warmer!

Preppy/casual I guess. Usually polo shirts/t-shirts with shorts/jeans. Now that it's so hot I really like overall shorts with no shirt underneath...it's so cute!

Any certain styles you do not like? Or have a favorite style?
I don't like character clothing. Wyatt has a couple of t-shirts with characters on them, but they're more of the "vintage"-type shirts - Yoda, Fred Flinstone, Mickey Mouse. I don't like Sponge Bob, Winnie the Pooh, Diego, etc. Pajamas are okay I guess.

I suppose I like to dress Wyatt like DH.

Any favorites colors? Or Colors you do not like on your baby?
I don't really have a favourite colour. With boys, there are not too many options with colour - blue, brown, green, yellow. However the nice thing is that mix and match is a lot easier because you don't have to deal with different shades of pink!

Shoes or no shoes?
Depends. I usually put on shoes with pants, but not usually with shorts. I don't know why.

Socks or no socks?
Depends on the temperature. Usually if he's wearing shoes, he has socks on.

Any favorites colors? Or Colors you do not like on your baby? I usually put her in little Hurley outfits. I also shop at GAP and Old Navy. I love ruffle butts and leg earners too. I really stay away from character stuff.

Socks or no socks? No socks

I thought I was anti-character but she has a lot of character pjs -I'm addicted to buying her pjs now that its summer...she has so many short sets!! Costco has the CUTEST disney (princesses and fairies) pj short sets. They have the pretty girly glittery design on top and then sporty shorts on the bottom.

She has some other Disney things as well (I'm REALLY not trying to push Disney on her, I just find they are often really good quality) where there is a tiny Minnie Mouse hiding somewhere or something like that, so its not so in-your-face. She also has a couple of really cute Dr. Seuss Ts from Target

Infant Toddler Girls' Dr.Suess Green Short-Sleeve Tee : Target

Holly, I love RL Polo dresses too...they have a bunch at the Marshalls here. I got her one but its 24 months. I think dresses/skirts look cute on babies/toddlers who walk so I'm hoping by that point she starts walking.

Elmo and Cookie Monster still fit the vintage thing though. I'd totally do that.

for clothes we don't have a lot of character stuff either. minnie mouse or aristcrats sleepers and that's about it. no colour preferences either. I used to be anti pink - but there's just not a lot of options.

She wears shoes when we go out. Socks are weather dependent.

How do you dress your baby? What style? I guess i dress my kids how i dress. T-shirts & jeans mostly. They have a lot of character shirts, from Dr. Suess to The Grateful Dead, with Dora and Elmo thrown in. Target has cute tshirts. Mostly jeans, shorts and leggings/baby legs with them. Charlotte has a cute jean overall dress that was a hand-me-down from Samantha...its from Old Navy. Since Samantha is older and walks, she wears a lot of dresses...Charlotte will wear more dresses when she can walk. I love dresses on newborns and toddlers. In between that, nope.

Any certain styles you do not like? Or have a favorite style? I like most styles, i dont think there is one i dont like. I love horizontally striped baby legs/leggings and solid tops though. Lol

Any favorites colors? Or Colors you do not like on your baby? I love purple on her, brings out her blue eyes. Also i like bright colors.

Shoes or no shoes? Sometimes i put shoes on her, if the outfit is way cuter with shoes...but mostly no.

Socks or no socks?
Depends on the weather. Usually she is barefoot.

How do you dress your baby? What style? We're very eclectic with her clothing. I love dolling her up, but she doesn't like dresses right now because her knees get caught while crawling.

Any certain styles you do not like? Or have a favorite style?

Any favorites colors? Or Colors you do not like on your baby? I think she looks best in purple.

Shoes or no shoes? sometimes yes, sometimes no

Socks or no socks? not so much in this heat

I hate characters AND words (yes, any kind of sayings or words on the shirts bug me). It's a fashion "rule" I follow on my own too. So, if you see Emmett wearing words/characters, the outfit was a gift, haha.

We do mostly shirts with a collar over here. Paired with either jeans, plaids, or khakis. (My husband wears a collared shirt 90% of the time too.)

No shoes...I'm kinda anti- shoes unless absolutely needed for foot protection in a given environment. No socks now that it's warm.

We don't have a certain "style" Now that its summer I dress Aidyen in those one piece rompers from Carter's. We also put him in alot of shirts with plaid or jean shorts and Osh Gosh jean overalls. I love the color green and light blue on him. I try to put shoes on because they are so cute but its a pain to get them on his feet. I always put socks on him because his toenails get long and its hard to cut them and I'm afraid they will snag on something.

I really don't like character stuff but it'll change when he really knows who these blue and yellow muppets or cartoons are. I guess he has a laid back style because we live in Arizona his clothes can't be too tight or heavy because of the weather.

Lots of blue, white, and green. His grandmas got him so much red clothes..I have no idea where it all came from.

Sandals from Old Navy for now. Everyone loves them.

No socks and sandals!!
