The cuteness is killing me!

I may have a problem. An intervention may be in order. Someone stop me!!! I can't stop buying girl clothes. And my mom's just as bad. AND some friends are giving us boxes and boxes of hand-me-downs tomorrow, and their little girl is always beautifully dressed, so I'm sure it will be wonderful stuff. This little girl is going to be able to wear a different outfit every day, and always be dressed to kill.

I'm not just shopping like a madwoman; I do have a strategy. First of all, it has to be so cute I just can't stand it. I try to convince myself not to buy it: "C'mon. You know they'll still be making stuff this cute when the JellyBelly actually gets here." If that doesn't work, then I'll buy it, but only if it's at last half-off. And I usually buy a 2T (although I've started buying a few 3T things lately, like the darling yellow top below). That way, I am reasonably certain it won't be too small, and the season doesn't matter much since kids generally wear that size for most of a year at least (the Bee is still wearing some 2Ts at age 3.5). So you see, it's not totally crazy.

My latest purchase, off the super-duper sale racks at Nieman Marcus Last Call:


Some of my other favorites:



You can't really tell from the picture, but this one is a little cotton peacoat:



Sigh. Now if only I had my little girl to dress up in all this finery. Soon, but not soon enough.

I love that yellow dress. I think it would look great on a hot summer night.

I love the yellow top too. Does it come in big Mamacita size?
