City-wide garage sales were this weekend, and I went to a handful. I didn't buy much at all, but a good stack of cute-clothes-that-my-baby-may-or-may-not-wear-because-I-have-no-idea-how-big-she'll-be baby clothes. It was a trial run. Could I pass for a mom who should be looking in the girl section?
At my first garage sale, I picked up a dress that had see-through bubbles on them, I asked, "What does one do with this?" And the mom said, "You just need to find some white bloomers." "Oh, OK." Bloomers? Aren't they what I wore under my cheer leading uniform in high school?!!? "And...(eyes down, quickly trying to think...) bloomers are??"
Yep! Bloomers ARE what I wore under my cheer leading uniform...and what little girls wear under dresses! Who knew!? Such a newbie. So much to learn. I have never in my adult life thought about what a little girl wears under her dress. Not once. Never.
Until now. And I am happy to say I have 2 pair of bloomers in this house now. And a pair of tights. And a red velvet hoodie with a red heart.
And by the way, am I the only one who remembers her mom calling these 'ruffle butts'.
its so weird, isn't it?
ReplyDeleteIt wasn't until I started getting piles of hand me downs that I would even think of looking at girls' clothes. And its a new world...and one that is obviously going to require more upkeep (read: ironing) and thought!
Kether, you iron? I make a point not to do that. ;) For real, right? I can't wait for tights, dresses and little mary janes. Hope my baby girl will feel the same way! Watch, she'll be a tomboy and live in jeans and tees just like the boys. ;)
ReplyDeleteAnd seriously, with boys, you need a few good pair of jeans, 1 or 2 khaki or cords and a few athletic pants. Don't forget shirts that go with any of the above and you.are.set.! ;)
So I bought my first....two pairs of cute leggings from Gymboree. They are tucked away :)
