I used to wear sweater dresses when I was little and distinctly remember how pretty I felt in them. I wore sweater dresses clear up through highschool, and now have the fun of finding them at Thrift Town for my daughter to wear and enjoy.

Although I do it with many other dresses as well, I kinda feel like the sweaterdress was one of the first that you do tights and boots with as a kid. Cozy ayers is where it’s at!

Over a year ago I found this adorable hearts sweater dress at Thrift Town for $1.99, and my first thought was — she will eventually fit in this! So after a year of being tucked away in a big bin in the garage, this happy hearts dress fit perfectly:

sweet & soft.

Girl on the go - MAN, she’s fast!

Happy girl in her DIY headwrap.

$0.99: the perfect little pale pink sweater-shrug + $0.49 diaper cover

This girl is SO busy - this was the best I could get of the full-length look.
Seriously, the rest were a blur. One of the reasons I love this look though,
is that she is comfortable and cozy while still looking cute. Good thing
we have pictures, this whole momma life can be a blur sometimes. Soak
in all the moments, parents! And save on clothes so you can spend more
on the fun stuff. Hope everyone has a safe and wonderful Thanksgiving!
