Owlfit of the Week

I LOVE this pixie hooded coat!  I picked it up at a flea market in Lille (that's a post I really need to write) for €20 and I'm so glad I did!  I wasn't sure of the size as Little Owl wasn't with me, but in the end it came down to the fact it was the only one!  It's quite thick and a snug fit which keeps Little Owl super warm, and I love the off centred zip, and how it matches the tip off the hood.

It just so happens that we have some matching cord trousers!  They are from M&S and I found them on ebay, they featured in one of my first owlfit posts!

Not many of Little Owl's trousers still fit from last winter but luckily these still do!  I love the detailing on them, and the colour just happens to be my favourite!

Orange is happiness!  Seriously - is there a better colour?  Or is it just my dutch roots talking?  I bought this lovely outfit in India (surprise surprise) and I love it!  Both the top and the leggings are from a department store called Westside and are aged 3-4 as Indian children tend to be a bit smaller, especially across the shoulders where Little Owl is quite broad.  

The kurta or top fits perfectly and has lots of pretty detailing in pink, the opening of the neck is lined with pink and there is a pink tab which buttons up the sleeve (unfortunately this had been pulled down by Little Owl before I could take the photos).  The leggings are very baggy around the ankle which is the fashion in India but with the elasticated waist, it also means there is PLENTY of growing room - at least 6 inches in height!  The leggings were a complete bargain at Rs250, about £2.50 so I bought 4 pairs in different colours - look out for the others over the coming weeks!

Finally, the shoes are from Livie and Luca, and her socks are from M&S.

Here's another fun owlfit from last spring that (just about) fits.  The trousers are slightly flared cord which makes Little Owl's legs look even longer than normal!  They were hand me downs from a friend and I don't know where they came from.  

The top is one of 3 long sleeved t-shirts that I bought in M&S last winter - I'm pretty sure that they were the last in her size when I ordered them online.  I'm now wishing that I had bought them in the next size up and Little Owl wears them loads but they are getting a bit short for her!

The mustard cardigan from M&S and the mustard shoes from Livie & Luca you may recognise from last week's Owlfit, and are firm favourites!

Autumn is creeping in - Little Owl has shoes on!  And what pretty shoes they are but I shall get to them in a minute.  The dress comes from Westside, an Indian department store.  I love the colour and pattern and it hangs beautifully.  I'm not sure if it is going to work with tights but its great during this transitional period.  The only thing I'm not so keen on with the dress is how low the neck scoops at the front which is why I like to team it with a cardigan.  

The mustard cardigan is from M&S, its amazingly soft and lovely.   I was keeping an eye out for them going into the sale as I thought I might buy it in bigger sizes but it never happened - Marks have kept it in this seasons stock too!

So now its time for the shoes!

Aren't they just lovely?!!!  They are Mustard Ruche from Livie & Luca and I love them! I have a bit of a confession... Little Owl had some of these earlier in the summer but they didn't get worn much due to the lovely warm weather, I went to put them back on her as the weather cooled and she had grown - 2 sizes!  I was gutted as I really felt we hadn't got to wear them much - so I bought a second pair in the right size!

The soles are squidgy soft which is something I love about Livie & Luca shoes, and the velcro strap makes them easy to get on and off and also slightly adjustable on the width.  The socks are from M&S and come in a pack of 3 (the others are red and mustard!). 

So here we are - the start of autumn!  I've got my eye on lots of new clothes for Little Owl - if you want to see what I'm looking at, check out my pinterest board.

You might recognise these shorts from an Owlfit a few months ago.  I bought them in TK Max and Little Owl wore them loads last autumn before growing out of them.  When I shared a photo of her wearing them for an owlfit, I wondered if she could fit in them now she is out of nappies - well as you can see she can!  They aren't going to fit for much longer but I'm so pleased that I squeezed a bit more wear out of them!

The green smock was from a set of four from Marks & Spencers which have been worn and worn and worn this summer - definitely a good purchase!  The jacket is a hand-me-down from H&M, and of course, the shoes are from Livie and Luca.
