TIPS FOR DRESSING A STYLISH BABY GIRL Part 2

PLAY WITH PATTERNS

Pattern mixing is fun for babies too! My suggestion is to keep it simple and play with patterns in the same color family. It’s a fun and unexpected way to add some fun to your baby’s wardrobe.

JUST DO IT…YOURSELF

Sometimes you’ll be limited to the things you can find in the “baby section” of stores. Headbands are one example of this. I didn’t like any of the ones I found, so I made my own that were a little less fussy. Cute and super easy – just cut up t-shirts and tights! You can DIY many things for your little lady’s wardrobe even if you are lacking in sewing skills – just get creative.

GO BIG

When it comes to buying jeans and tops for my little one I always go for bigger sizes in slim cuts. Tank tops can easily become sundresses for now and top later if you buy them in larger sizes and the same goes for jeans – wear them cuffed now, regular once she’s a bit bigger and if the waist is stretchy – as shorts later!

ACCESSORIZE, ACCESSORIZE, ACCESSORIZE

Who says accessories are only for grown-ups? Obviously, it takes a bit more thought and effort to find tiny accessories, but it can instantly change the whole look of an outfit and people always love to ooh and ahh over mini accessories. A few of my favorite baby accessories are headbands, belts, hats and scarves.

REPURPOSE

Sometimes they don’t make things in baby sizes so you have to come up with creative solutions. I love belting things, but had a really hard time finding a belt to fit a baby, so I used a headband instead. And as a bonus, it’s way easier to take on and off than a belt!
