Who says the size on the tag means anything anyway?

Here is a fun picture I took of Claire on Wednesday.

Click photos to enlarge.

She is modeling one of her favorite sweaters. It fits her perfectly and is not too tight. She loves this sweater.

Only, we have a secret…

It is not a sweater.

It is not a sweater.

It is a tunic that we got for her to wear in our Holiday Photo Card photo from 2006.

YES! November 2006!!

These pictures were taken Thanksgiving Weekend TWO YEARS AGO.  Claire wasn’t even a year old yet!  I remember choosing the 18- to 24-month size and knowing she would grow into it.  I remember wondering how long she’d be able to wear it.  It was such a pretty tunic, and little kids grow out of clothes so quickly.  Would we get our money’s worth?

Well, I think we did…and then some!

Shhhh. Don’t tell!  We didn’t mean for this to happen!  The tunic eluded detection and missed out on a couple rounds of sorting.  It had been hangin’ out in the sweater drawer for so long, it started to think it was a sweater!

So, what can we learn from all this? Regardless of whether it’s a tunic or a sweater, if it fits, it doesn’t matter what the tag says… ;)

Today is Day 28 of 30 in the NaBloPoMo Challenge! Only two more days to go!

  • This reminds me of an outfit we got for my daughter when she was 6 months old for my brother’s wedding. It included a dress and a pair of white stretchy pants. She wore those pants for the next 3 years I think. Once the diaper came off her bum was small again so they fit into the pants, which became, capris, which became shorts. Don’t you love super-versatile clothes?
