Shabby Chic'

This year for Easter I wanted to give Anna Kate and Abby a Shabby Chic' look to compliment their classic dresses. I am a major fan of a bow in the hair at all time (pool,beach, around the house etc.). I knew that AK was really into wearing headbands as an alternative to bows, so I thought I would try my hand at making some. I have seen tons of fabric flowers on different children's websites and my friend Hilary has been making these really cute ones for clothes. So likely I was inspired. You see I can't make one for just AK, so I made one for the Abbster too. I used the same technique as I did for the rosettes on her birthday outfit, but I used a fabric that I knew would fray. As I have said in a previous post, I love pearls. It just seemed to polish off the look and adds the Chic' to the shabby. This year the girls are wearing matching pink smocked dresses so the cappuccino and pale pink will accent the pastel outfits. Hopefully, I'll have some pictures of them in all their Chicness to share with you all after Easter.

I have this picture in my head of them wearing the headbands with their new shirts I got them that have ruffles all across the front with either a white skirt or shorts playing around up on the seminaries campus. I feel a photo op. in the near future ;)

These headbands are the perfect way to make a Little or Big girl feel frilly even in just a jeans and T-shirt combo. Just throw one on with a ponytail or with your hair down to complete any look. Happy Easter to all!
