all girl

About a week before Ivy was born one of my very thoughtful. very stylish, very fun friends, sent me a little package.  It contained a tiny, oh so cute, handmade beaded bracelet and teeny tiny white satin shoes.  The note attached said something like: 

"...baby girl Clason needs to know that unlike her brother, she must be accessorized"

Anyone who met Ivy in those early months knows that I often entertained myself by doing just that- playing dress up with my little girl.  

However, she got mobile, I got lazy, and the bows and shoes were really only musts for church (and other outings)- until lately, now she's reminding me, even if it is, just to play in the playroom, welcome home dad or pick up her brother from school.

Ivy is discovering her own style and way of dressing up and accessorizing (as I alluded to in the previous post). 

So without further ado (sorry it's taken me two weeks to update my blog), here's some photos of her caught in the moment.

THE SHOES-

 her brother's stay on much better than mom and dad's (although she has tried)

she often walks around for hours in one shoe (not her own)

and one of her first words was "shoe"

 

SUNGLASSES- 

these were at my latest Dr. appt. while waiting for the Doc to come check on us

HATS-

also one of her first words- she often wears her helmet for a good amount of time indoors.  purely an accessory because her bike is outside.

BAGS and PURSES-

I only have this one shot of her with her backpack that I had to purchase because

a) I thought it was so CUTE and 

b) her insistence on carrying Asher's whenever we picked him up or dropped him off at school.

she is also seen sporting a ladybug backpack, a purse she took from my sister,  

and Asher's lunchbox.

ARMBANDS-

she learned to wear them in the pool, but she often pulls them out of the swim bag and wears them deflated around the house.

No photos of her in jewelry, shirts for necklaces (she's cool like that) or helping with laundry by putting her dad's socks on (legs and arms).
