Birthday Outfit.

Grier's second birthday is next month, which is so crazy to me. It really doesn't seem like that long ago she was taking her first steps and saying her first words. It is incredible how much she has changed in the past year (more on that in a later post!). Last year for her birthday I found a really cute tutu and cupcake onesie on Zulily. I think after tax and shipping it was around 70 dollars. It was a very cute outfit that she wore twice. She wore it to her actual first birthday party and again to the Sears Tower Skydeck Ledge (I will never call it the Willis Tower!) for a little photo shoot.

This. Face.

That. Little. Hand.

This year, I have decided to make her a tutu and some sort of monogram applique shirt. The shirt is still under construction, however, the tutu is dunzo. And let me just say, it took like an hour and a half and cost under $5. So. Simple. I will never pay for another tutu. Ever. Stay tuned for the finished shirt!!

Cutting the tulle strips took the longest.
