Long legs

Eliza’s one-piece outfits are quickly becoming too short. Time to go shopping soon. It’s kind of hard to find clothes for baby girls without the following annoyances:

• ruffles (especially on the butt!)
• a collar that constantly sticks up, rubbing against her face
• gendered words like “princess,” “precious,” and “angel”
• bows and flowers that stick up (why??)
• pastel colors, especially pink
• stretchy bow headbands (YIKES! you’ll never catch Eliza dead in one of those)

All we want is simple: soft, comfortable, functional, cute but not cutesy, easy to take on and off, easy to care for clothes made out of good quality cotton, fleece, or terry. Eliza is not a doll, she is a kid. She wants to feel good while sleeping and playing in her clothes.

Ok, I’m done ranting now.
