It hit me this weekend that expecting a baby girl = overwhelmed shopper
We walked into the Carter's Outlet and Phil said "wow, this is very bright." The girl section of the store was like a bright rainbow of cupcake sleepers and hot pink hairbows. My brother was with us and to say that he looked out of place is an understatement. I collected an assortment of girl outfits and headed to the checkout. Phil and Drew had wandered over to the more familiar boy section where they felt more comfortable.
While in line I noticed a rack with ruffled tights. I thought about how I had always wanted to buy ruffled tights so I got out of line. There was a huge selection of tights, stockings, socks, hairbows, and bags. Suddenly that gagging feeling that plagues me so early on in pregnancy was back. I instantly knew that I was WAY out of my league. The pressure to put together a complete ensemble made me sweat in my eyebrows.
So I turned around and headed back to the sale rack and put most of the outfits that I had selected earlier back! Then I pulled myself together and headed over to find the boys. I told myself "Brooke will help me figure this all out!" My friend Brooke is queen of coordinates for girls.
The boys were more than ready to move on to the next store and so was I! Yikes. I did not expect this! I thought I could easily pick out a few onesies but it is clear that I am not ready for full outfits! I need to enroll in a baby girl mentorship program.
We did manage to pick out a few things for Baby Girl!

Phil picked this onesie out!
We also choose this super soft and sweet elephant lovie from the Carter's Outlet. Proof that I did buy a few items!
I love that the animal print on the lovie is actually hearts!
Hmmm...the start of nursery inspiration? We will see...

Awww...I love it Ali. You'll get the hang of coordinating cutie-patootie outfits soon. ;) Hopefully we can get together not too long after we get moved back. ((hugs))
You'll do just fine picking out little girl outfits! After all it's really no different than dressing yourself my dear and you seem to do very well<3
