subscribeTiny Style with Ella Faye – Her Vintage Dress
August 30th, 2011
Yay! It’s our first Tiny Style post! I am so excited about this.
Little Miss Ella Faye has a pret-ty keen sense of style. She likes fancy, stripes, polka dots, floral, bright, frilly, purple, pink, shiny, plaid, gingham…and all of it together. All at once.
Ant and I used to think she resembled Fancy Nancy. For a very long time, she was Ella’s fashion idol. Now I think Ella has surpassed Nancy.
Elegant Ella > Fancy Nancy.
It’s not often that I get to dress the girl these days. Her strong will encompasses all aspects of her being, including control over the clothing pieces she wears.
This dress came from a box of old clothes I wore as a baby and little girl. Most of the box was filled with baby dresses and tops, which I have been loving dressing Poppy in, but there were also a few toddler dresses and summertime shirts just waiting for Ella.
I have a distinct memory of helping my mom in our kitchen while I wore this dress. I love it so much.
This day, Ella chose this little number herself and it was just happy kismet that her favorite shoes of the moment happened to match. I love the contrast that these photos deliver. Sweet dress, sparkly shoes, bruised little legs. Perfect two year old.
(I just cut this one’s hair a couple weeks ago and looking at these photos, I am kind of missing the long goldi-locks. She is a fan of her new short bob though, and that is all that matters.)
Tiny Outfit:
Dress: vintage from her mama’s closet
Purse: It’s a Mary Poppins carpet bag! (from the Broadway Musical)
Sandals: Target
Do you have little ones at home? Do they still let you pick their outfits for them? When did you start picking out your own clothes?
Oh those bruised legs! Finn’s look just the same. I love that Ella is wearing something of her mama’s. <3
This is too cute! Love your blog.
