Fashion Show! Fashion Show! Fashion Show at lunch! (25 Days of Christmas version)

So...long time no blog. One of my resolutions this year is try to blog more, so we'll see if I can stick with it! My other resolution is to be more like Kelly Kapoor of The Office. I'm totally kidding...or am I?


I've always thought it would be fun to do a picture diary as a sort of fashion show of what Rory and Lane wear each day, but somehow remembering to take a picture every single day actually ends up being quite a tall order, or maybe I'm really just that lazy. Keeping that in mind, I'm asking you to go ahead and excuse the poor quality of several of the pictures below. Sometimes my BlackBerry and poor lighting was the best I could muster up by the late hour I remembered to take the picture.


Rory and Lane have such a large holiday wardrobe, and I was pretty confident I could commit to the picture diary idea for 25 days starting on December 1 and in the process make myself feel better about the sheer volume of Christmas outfits they have accumulated. I succeeded on the first count and failed miserably on the second. I probably should be ashamed to admit that I grossly underestimated the amount of holiday attire, specifically dresses, not to mention pajamas, they have collected, so this picture diary is really more of a glimpse of the whole picture. This year, I think I may need to start the day after Thanksgiving and go through the end of December to make sure that everything makes it in the rotation.

It's just so hard to resist all the adorable handmade Christmas dresses! Should I even mention the cheap tees from the $2.50 bin at Target? I mean that's basically giving them away, and it makes them way too easy to buy and forget about. (Justify, justify, justify.) Since Facebook somehow managed, with no notice or explanation, to delete several of the picture posts uploaded in the past, including several of the daily holiday outfit posts, I'm even more glad I have this all in one place.


Now, without further aideu, here is Rory and Lane's 25 Days of Christmas Fashion Show in pictures:

  3. I am so very glad you're going to be active in blogging this year. I always enjoy reading your blog about your 2 wonderful fashionista babies. As I keep reminding you time and time again, you should really consider writing a book . .perhaps a children's book or even a doggie book. Whatever you decide I know people will enjoy it. Thank you for sharing. They definitely have the most extensive wardrobe, that's for sure.
