Baby Liberty of London and Happy Birthday Giveaway Winner!

Hi everyone! Hope you had a great Tuesday. My Tuesday was pretty good, despite the mid-day dentist appointment (and to be totally fair, Dr. Melanie Murphy is really wonderful, and my appointments are as pleasant as dental appointments can possibly be). So, when I was out shopping for Liberty of London stuff for me, I also picked up a few things for my 8 month-old daughter, Kate. Here she is, modeling some of her new outfits.

Dress: Liberty of London for Target, Sixty Dress, pink ($12.99)

This little dress is really beautiful and well made. The fabric is a light cotton lawn, and the top is lined. The skirt is actually two layers - the top, printed skirt, and an underskirt, that's a creamy off-white, with a pink floral (same fabric as that around the collar) ruffled trim. There's a button closure in the back. Comes with a matching diaper-cover.

Here she is, doing her "Blue Steel" look (haha, sorry - Zoolander reference):

Here she is in a darling little romper:

Romper: Liberty of London for Target, smocked romper, pink ($9.99)

This sweet little romper has a smocked bodice, with little spaghetti straps and ballooned shorts on the bottom. Snap closure at the crotch.

Shirt and shorts: Liberty of London for Target, Swing Top Set, pink/white ($12.99)

I love the little details (check out the keyhole and bow on the sleeves) in this otherwise simple garment. The top sports floral trim around the collar and sleeve-hem, as well as a butterfly-shaped floral-print appliqué with embroidery. Matching balloon shorts, in the floral print. Super cute!

Overall, I'm really pleased with the quality of the Liberty of London items - both for children and adults. The only complaint I have regarding the infant clothing (and it's minor) is that rather than stamp the label information onto the inside of the clothing, they used traditional, itchy labels - big ones, too. I'm going to have to cut them all out before letting her wear them for a prolonged time, in order to prevent skin irritation.

Here are our OOTDs:
