clothes for summer

susieandmarty

When DD was born last year i loved just put her in onsies or onsie dresses.  Now i feel like though I need more grown up stuff.  I bought shorts for her to wear over her onsies this summer - anyone else think their little ones need more then just onsies?

What about onsises and a cute skirt/shorts?

I just mean last summer - she was in stuff like this   and this all the time:

This summer - I have bought her stuff like this 

It just seems so much more grown up

i stocked up on summer stuff at a consignment sale yesterday. We're doing lots of little short skirts and dresses, stuff that won't tangle her up when she's crawling, but still cover her booty a little. She just looks a little more "dressed" than when she's just wearing a onesie. I love little rompers too!

And I'll still be dressing her pants a lot for school, even if it's 105 outside, they are running the AC inside and I'm afraid she'll get cool.

I don't see a big difference in those? both are little shorts rompers?

Like I said, maybe it is just me - i just think one puffs out and the other is more fitted - the first one seems more babyish and the second one seems more little girl to me - it just was me reflecting that even though DD is only 9.5 months or so - she is growing up so quickly

oh I gotcha! We go either way. Some days she wears little rompers like this, which are definitely more babyish -

and sometimes she wears big girl outfits more like this -

exactly and i just bought only big girl outfits for the summer -

keep in mind that i am the dork who teared up when i had to start putting away her 0-3 months clothes

Last summer Ty lived in onesies alone!  This year I will not be doing that - he is impossible to get in to a onesie (at least snapped!).  I've been buying a lot of t-shirts and little shorts!  And polos - I love little polos.  

I've been debating how I feel about toddler boys in rompers.  They're definitely cute, and I'll probably buy a few, but I think mostly he'll be in shorts and T-Shirts. 

I've also bought a few pairs of "daddy shorts" aka athletic shorts.  DH wears a lot of those on the weekends out in the yard, etc. and I found a pair that look nearly identical to a pair DH wears more frequently.  I put Ty in them two Sunday's ago while DH was OOT, then when he got home he was in the same outfit essentially!

I'm not a huge fan of onsies with pants or anything over them.  I guess I don't like the tucked in look.  It's this weird hangup that I have.

I feel the same way, but strangely enough I don't feel that way about skirts, just pants? I think bc her little pants are so tight, like leggings, i feel like there needs to be volume either on top or bottom or something? I like her onesies with a skirt like this: https://www.target.com/p/Circo-Newborn-Girls-Tiered-Skirt-Blue/-/A-13828181

This is exactly what I was thinking of. Something completely frilling frofroo and girly.  God help me when I have a girl...ruffles galore!

I'm the same way with the tucked items.  They just bother me.  Bell doesnt have any skirts of yet but i just hit a sale at childrens place and got a bunch of different shorts.  I just wish i could find some more of the shirts with the onsies under them (one piece) got a few at the Gap but wish they sold them somewhere more reasonable

I bought shorts/shirt combos as well as dresses and rompers.  I also am not a huge fan of the onesie/pant combo so we are just doing real shirts.

I'm doing mostly shorts and t-shirts.  I feel like he's outgrown onesies.
