Some doings



So this is what Lara's hair looks like when she wakes up from her nap. Isn't this the wedding hair that everyone tries to create? She's like a Disney princess or something, with magical birds coiffing her before we get her out of the crib.

Anyway, we went to the playground today to do a fashion photo shoot. A few days ago I sewed Lara a little skirt, and today it finally warmed up enough to wear one. It's reconned from a pair of herringbone pants (Lex, remember these?), with a band of green cotton, fully lined with an old tshirt to prevent itchiness.

I also made Lara some leggings to go with the skirt. I just used a pair she already had to make some out of the sleeves of an old knit shirt.







Also, a little fashion show from me. I was really excited about my outfit today too!



And finally - how cute are these two? Love 'em!

It really does look like a magazine spread about a very attractive young urban professional family. Thank you - I enjoyed very VERY much. Oh, and the outfits are great - loved the skirt and your tunic. I also liked Misha's new crop - it looks different somehow and very nice.

I don't even know where to start, I want to comment on EVERYTHING!
The hair! My girls would be soooo jealous! Their Chinese hair will never do this, I tried once to curl it with hot rollers, it held less than 30 minutes!
The skirt is to die for! Such clever reuse, and lining, great for warmth and itchyness. I must come up with something like that!
LOVE what you are wearing! I would totally put something like that together. The girls at my store always tell me I looke like Pipi Longstocking because I'm clobbering stuff together to make a "look".
you guys look like a magazine spread indeed!

Hi I found you through Wardrode Refashion. Your daughter is gorgeous and that hair of hers just makes me speechless! I love it.
Great job on the skirt and I like your outfit too!

That is "wedding hair"; hope she keeps the curls! You made leggings out of old tee shirts? huh....I wonder if I'll find how you did that if I keep reading. My daughter is one and right now is a hard time to be crawling around on the grass. I feel so bad for her naked knees!
