On my way up to a dinner party at John and Kate's yesterday, I passed a shop window and saw the most amazing outfit I have ever seen. I had to have it! Alas, they only had it in small girl sizes. I was somewhat disappointed. This was the ensemble of my dreams!
Fortunately, my grand-daughter Abbey Rose is small enough that she could wear Grandma Linda's dream outfit! What's more, after 15 minutes, I taught her to do the can-can. Abbey and I entertained the entire family for a while. I was a little jealous that I didn't have the right skirt, but I did the best I could with my limited wardrobe options.
I am so pleased my Son and his gorgeous wife appreciate my efforts toward making their children well rounded and cultured as well.
Oh my gawd, I wanted that skirt!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI'm sure Abbey will share! It would make a great headdress for Marti Gras!
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful grandma you are!
ReplyDeleteAwesome outfit! I want one!
ReplyDeleteYea, I want it too. I think my designer can make it for me. She is fabulous and so are you.
ReplyDeleteI'll stitch up one of those skirts for you, Linnie--as a belated b-day gift! (Ah, would that I had the sewing talent to follow through on my offer!)
ReplyDeleteAbbey Rose is adorable! I'm sure she appreciates a grandma who is as much fun as you--as well as one who buys her such an amazing present "just because"...Looks like a happy day all all around. I LOVE shopping for little girls' clothes, too; you might need to find a less dangerous route to her house.
ReplyDeleteDear LA- I've seen your handiwork and that skirt would be wonderful. Alyssa, Abbey is a piece of work! Now since she had 3 older sisters and an older bro, I really need to put the horse blinders on when I leave the house!
ReplyDeleteAlyssa, how old is Little Bit? I'll ask Abbey to save the cancan skirt if she's smaller. Abbey is 5.
