snow!

Indy was born in the winter, but being a tiny babe, she didn't get to experience snow, so this is her first real cognizant winter (and it's been a lame one, hasn't it?). It finally snowed worth sneezing about on Friday so we took her out into the snow to see what she thought. (She's looking boyish thanks to some nephew hand-me-downs and a too cute hat I couldn't resist in a resale shop, but at least she's got the hot pink boots and the eyelashes for miles, right?)

At first she was like. . . hmmm?? maybe??

And then she was like. . .

Also, did I mention that she was scared of a balloon at Chick-fil-a the other day? Oh well. There's always next year.

party dress: baby edition

Indigo's adorable party dress was an early birthday present from her Nana Miller! She picked it up at Donna's Dress Shop, a vintage clothing store in Kansas City, MO, where Kate's (my sister-in-law-ish? What do you call your brother-in-law's wife?) parents recently moved. They all went down there for a visit over the holidays. I'm pretty jealous that they had the opportunity to visit that shop, because it looks awesome! They hand stamp their bags, which I love. It's such a creative way to add a small, handmade touch to each purchase.

And the dress, I just cannot get over it. Handmade vintage always astounds me, mostly because of how abundant it is, and the pieces are always executed so expertly. Sewing was abviously a much more common skill only decades ago that has largely gone by the wayside, sadly. I think things are starting to trend back in that direction, though, which is exciting. 

Anwyays, isn't it adorable? I love the combination of the blues and greens and the brown ric-rac. This dress is perfect as is, I didn't have to do a single thing to it.

I think I'll pair it with her moccasins (which she is rapidly outgrowing! Nooooooooo!). I think it's safe to say I'm a little jealous of my own daughter's wardrobe. She definitely has more cute clothes than me, haha.
