France, Shopping, Uncategorized EUROTRIP: CLOTHES FOR OUR NOT-YET-1-YR-OLD 26 August 2010

We didn’t splurge tooooo much in Paris.. since we were so busy sight-seeing and eating, heh. We did, however, hit the Infant/Childrens department of everywhere that we went (funny how things change so quickly and I’m far more interested in that now!).

And….. we got a 1st Birthday present for our (unborn) child. Haha. Yes yes, we are eager beavers!! So when our child turns 1 year old, we have the cutest lil outfit all ready to be worn πŸ˜‰

We found this freakin’ adorable Chloe denim dress, a little pinafore that a little girl can wear as-is, or with a little white blouse underneath. We also got the Chloe cotton bonnet to match, and paired with a pair of little white shoes, she’ll be such a pretty picture! That is… uhhhh…… if we have a girl πŸ˜‰

But if we have a boy? We’re also sorted. Chris picked it out – smart little blue overalls with a striped top that goes on underneath. You can’t see it in the pic, but the elbow parts have red patches sewn into them – sooooooo cute!!

Both the outfits are for 1-year-olds; we figured that’s when they’re upright and going out more, so the outfits will be more suited (a bit useless to have cute outfits on a newborn that’s lying down all day!).


Little boy overalls!!

And finally, Chris selected a very special present for our baby – the cutest, softest lil thing ever.. for a boy or girl infant. All wrapped up to be opened and given to our baby when he/she is born πŸ™‚

Soooooo, what do you think? Cute? And anyone else as mental as we are and buying clothes 1 year in advance, “out of pure cuteness”? πŸ˜›

Okay, I haven’t even reached the post where you *must* have announced your pregnancy, but I saw that flowy white skirt picture and the word “maternity” and THEN I hurriedly zipped past every other post to *this* one, where it was well…obvious that you ARE pregnant!!!!

CONGRATS! To you and Chris πŸ™‚ Very happy for the both of you! πŸ™‚

It’s amazing…I *thought* I only went AWOL for a month and a half but I’ve got one friend over at FB that may have already gotten married and you look like you’re at least 20 weeks on!!!

Great news Beverly! Soon I can start calling you a penguin! – completely a term of endearment only reserved for pregnant friends ;P

I still do, buy more for Arthur than for me, so easy and cute!
This Sept I’m going to splurge at H&M baby and Zara baby: nicer, cuter, better quality and cheaper than what we can find in Sydney!

Erm, I was clothes shopping for my many nieces and nephews the other day and I was so close to buying some cute outfits for my future daughter. I even asked Merrill if he would think I’m crazy if I bought them. And this when we haven’t even started trying yet! Lol!

We are the same! We went to the states and bought the cutest polo ralph lauren dress if we had a girl, and another cool-looking polo top and jeans if we had a boy. Turns out we are having a boy! So I’ll keep the dress for the next kid πŸ™‚

I bought Clare’s first dress the day I knew I had a girl. However, I was already eyeing it before but Terence thought I was nuts to want to buy it.

Heh true! Though we’ve only got these clothes.. and no actual *useful* stuff (nappies, change bed, cot, stroller, etc, etc) for the baby yet, lol!

Very Cute. I think you’re having a boy! Do you have feelings yourself to the gender of the baby?

They’re both so cute!! The bonnet is do sweet.
It’s understandable, I already like looking at baby clothes – everything is adorable!! I wanted to get the Melissa VW jelly shoes for kids and the bf thought I was nuts πŸ™

It’s understandable. You like to shop, is all. The good thing is that a little girl can get away with wearing the overalls with no prob.

And if you have a boy, you can give the dress to some other little bambino.

They are such adorable outfits. Shopping for babies are such fun. That’s exactly what happenned to me. I used to love shopping for myself but when I had my child, I forgot about shopping for myself and everytime I went shopping it was was the baby! There are so many gorgeous outfits out there I just couldn’t stop buying them!

Just a tip….remember to buy the size that correspond to the season. I have quite a few outfits that my child have never worn because at the time he could fit into it, it was the wrong season (summer/winter) .

Happy shopping!

I love the toddler outfits cos they can wear more ‘normal’ clothes than just infant onesies. I really must control myself, so no more buying until our baby is a bit older!

Great tip though, thaks for that πŸ™‚

oh Bev, you guys are just too funny! When I saw the dress I thought to myself, oh I guess they’re having a girl.. until I read further down and you just bought one of each, just in case I guess? hahahaha It’s funny because I would have done the same myself :p :p
