Fashion Statements

I had to laugh this morning when Chris started reading me this article from this weekend's Globe and Mail about the seedy underbelly of baby fashion, particularly smart-ass sloganed onesies.  I guess they're gaining popularity among the rich and famous, but they've been popular on one of my fave parenting message boards forever.  There's even a local company, Fortybaby, that makes them here in Calgary.   Of course, their saying lean more towards the cute and witty than rude or sarcastic.  I kind of like the one that says, "I see big people!".  Madeline doesn't own anything sloganed like this, but I am hoping to make a few for her this summer using the iron-on transfer computer paper. 

We also bought her a couple of stylish "M" iron-on transfers from eachanoriginal at one of the otherwise spendy children's furniture boutiques last weekend.  I think we were inspired by the monogram t-shirt that Amber wears a lot on The Amazing Race :)
