Fashion Week

It's Fashion Week here in New York City for those of you who are not aware (real important on my radar...ha). Erin is actually quite involved in it through her job and the whole thing just cracks me up.

So I thought in honor of Fashion Week I would devote this very important post to my latest favorite outfit of Ellie's. A co-worker has long given me adorable hand-me-downs for Leo--her son is exactly one year older. Yesterday I cleaned out one of my closets at work and found some very cute clothes she had given me. Only trouble was I'd forgotten about them and they were definitely too small for Leo. But then I spotted this shirt (see below). It's a little faux gas station attendant shirt. I am a sucker for little girls in tomboyish clothes. The trick is to mix them with something feminine. Overalls with Mary Janes or, as seen here, a gas station shirt with a mini skirt. And Mary Janes, of course.

The whining and tugging and sticky hands really aren't so bad. Because I get to dress her however I want. At least for now.
