fall fashion fabulousness

September 12, 2010

We have smart friends.

Many years ago (when I was still teaching, Adam was still working away in the wild world of finance and Burke and Piper were still on the To Make list), said smart friends started a Friday night babysitting swap.  The idea is that one couple watches a crew of kids (eight to be exact- ages 9 months to 6 years old) once every six weeks and then has the other five Friday nights from 6:00-10:00 wide open.

We are proud benefactors of their genius (see the picture above of five kids crammed into Burke’s refrigerator-box-house during our turn at babysitting swap)… This leaves us with time on Friday nights for things like a date.  Or meandering through J Crew and Janie and Jack and Baby Gap (which never, I repeat, never! happens during the week when I have the two monkeys with me).  Last Friday night, I found all sorts of fall wardrobe fabulousness for Burke and Piper Jane- fabulousness that we can’t afford, but inspiration nonetheless.

Corderoy hat at Janie and Jack

Cuffed pants, Janie and Jack

Ruffled dresses at J Crew

Little capelet at Janie and Jack

Cableknit sweater dress at Janie and Jack

More corderoy, more Janie and Jack

I kept seeing baby leggies everywhere, too…. perhaps these are another solution to my no-cute-newborn-bottoms problem?

SO CUTE, right?  Now, what are the chances that I can whip up a whole batch of fall clothes and accessories in the next month or so?  Any suggestions on that? Haha!

Are you making any fall wardrobe fabulousness right now?

    I've got some of these cute corduroy jumpers getting ready to go up in my shop!

    I think they look super cute layered over a long sleeve white shirt!
