Trendy Tot Tuesday #1

I am SO excited to kick off our first week of Trendy Tot Tuesday!  I am a little disorganized this week, but will definitely have this down pat by next week ;)
-----------------
As much fun as it is to have a little girl and dress her up in dresses and bows, I often find myself shopping the boy's section.  There are some really great pieces there to balance all of the pink and frills in the girl's section, and some of my favorite outfits of Guinevere's are built around boy clothes!

Example 1:
The Chambray Shirt.

Chambray shirt: Old Navy (similar from Gap) | Sweater dress: Gap (similar) | Jeggings: Old Navy | Boots: Zulily (similar from Amazon)

I got this little chambray shirt in the boy's section at Old Navy, and it is still one of my favorite pieces.  I love it with red skinny jeans, with little tutu skirts, and open over a sweater and jeans.  My obsession with chambray shirts clearly has carried over to my kid.

Example 2: 
The Kitschy Sweater.

Sweater: Target (similar idea, with a bee) | Jeggings: Old Navy | Leopard Flats: Target

Every blogger worth her salt has been sucked in by printed sweaters this year - stripes, polka dots, words, and characters - especially animals.  Old Navy had a fox sweater that I adored, but couldn't find anywhere, so when I saw this fox sweater in Guinevere's size at Target, I decided I could simply live through her.  The best part?  When she points at herself and announces "fox!"  Yes, you are, darling.  

Example 3: 
Sports Team Apparel.

Tracksuit: Goodwill | Jersey: Toys 'R Us | Red Boat Shoes: Target

I have this thing against pink NFL jerseys.  I can't explain it, they just irritate me - the whole point is to rock your team's colors!  So when I want to deck my kid out in Burgundy and Gold for Redskins games, I go to the boy's section.
