We Covet | Better Living Through Consumerism

Dress That we Covet for our Girl Child

Factory girl dress!  This groovy baby “Andy Warhol” faces pattern is so awesome in this girls dress! Pink and purple make this dress an attention grabber. It will turn heads for certain. It comes from Swedish designer lollopard! Made of super thick and comfy peached cotton, this dress will be the first thing on out of the laundry! Cotton and Lycra.  I have purchased things from Trendy Tot before, they provided great customer service and their clothing is unique and comfortable and they even have some organic cotton products as well as some European designers not available almost anywhere else.

We Covet Silly Hats For Kids

With children, you've really only got about a year, maybe two, to dress them in such a way as serves your own tastes and amusement. After that, they start developing their own preferences - they won't wear hats, they won't wear pants, they want to wear their pajamas/bathing suit/ballerina costume all day etc, etc. Which, you know, sucks, because dressing them funny is one of the primary reasons for having children.

All of which is to say that I fully intend to take advantage of my newborn son's helpless years and dress him in stuff that pleases me aesthetically or that amuses me. And I think that I just might start with this awesome and totally ridiculous fish hat.

Giveaway of Partisan Playwear We Covet

These fun political tees for babies and toddlers provide a cool shower gift for an election year, or an easy way to piss off your relatives of the opposing party at the family 4th of July barbeque.   

Slogans like "Democrats/Republicans whine and cry more than I do," "I'm a Democrat/Republican baby" and "I am a weapon of mass destruction" are screen printed on American Apparel tees in sizes 3-6, 6-12, 12-18 and 18-24 months. 

And two lucky We Covet commenters can be the proud owner of a 3-6 month tee proclaiming the whining and crying of the party of her choice.  The giveaway tees are gift packaged in a pretty muslin bag, making them a nice pressie for an expecting friend's candidate kissing target. 

Just leave a comment below by midnight Saturday June 28 and we'll announce the two winners on Sunday.

We Covet Girls in White Dresses with Blue Satin Sashes

We Covet celebrates the unique, the cool, the funky.  But sometimes the classic is just what the style doctor ordered. Especially for kids' special event clothes. 

When it comes to dressing my daughter, spare me the size 2T Hannah Montana t-shirts and bedazzled halter tops and bring on the traditional, feminine dresses.  I know that soon enough she'll have her own personal style, and whether it includes Docs or her favorite team's jersey, I plan to support her completely.  [Insert knowing laughter from the experienced moms of teens.] Right now at least, her little look is mine to influence, and for summer events I love a sweet white dress. 

This 100% white slip dress from Strasburg Children has delicate hand embroidery at the neckline with a subtle cotton lace trim. French tucks on the hem give room for growth. The airy, light material is perfect for warm summer weather.  It's dressy enough for a wedding and machine washable for wearing any day.  White sandals, Mary Janes or bare feet complete the heart-tugging look.

Little girl's slip dress, size 3M-6Y, $42.40 and satin ribbon sash, sold separately, $1.60 @ Strasburg Children
