St. Patrick's Day Mini Mod #17 and Shabby Apple Giveaway

I made Lil' J a couple of St. Patrick's Day outfits this week. A ruffle mini skirt which I need to take some photos of this weekend, and a t-shirt dress.
I added some green ruffles and buttons to the dress and decided instead of adding the clover fabric as the hem ruffle, to add it as a belt, so after the holiday we can take it off, and she can still wear the dress all spring.
I took a bunch of photos of her wearing it on our bus ride but sadly, those were lost, along with a few hundred others thanks to a crappy card reader. Anyway, she spilled water on her dress before these pictures so forgive the wrinkles.

Her bows are from Little Trends Boutique.

What were your kids sporting this week? Link up your mini mod post below and show them off!

Also, in an effort to bring my sexy back, I'm trying to stock up on modestly-hot women's dresses. Shabby Apple is one of my favorite places to get them.

One of my readers will win a Spanish Steps Shabby Apple dress. Use the raffle copter widget in this post to enter. If you can't see it, click on the title of this post so your page will refresh and you'll see it. Good luck!

    I like so many of them but I really like the Yorkshire one. Too bad I wouldn't fit into anything but the maternity dresses right now. I think I may treat myself to a dress once this little girl gets here and I'm back to my normalish self.

    I wish I had your mad skills to sew dresses for my little girl...maybe someday. Hopefully before she is 16. :) I love Shabby Apple. I have an obsession with their dresses and can't get over their swimsuits right now!

    How are you supposed to choose one 1 favorite Shabby Apple dress? It's like choosing your favorite beach - all beaches are fabulous!! I do adore the Bon Voyage though.

    I love too many SA dresses! But this pic of the Trevi Fountain - which I stood in front of once for about 5 minutes - has convinced me I NEED this dress!

    I like all of their shirt dresses because shirt dresses can be worn year round. You just add tights in the winter and fall.

    Seven Seas in Seersucker is so cute for spring!

    Lil J is so cute, her cheeks probably still got pinched even though she was wearing green. :)
