This story starts back in 2005....right after PJ was born. PJ's first teeth popped up pretty early....at about 4.5 months. Well with teeth comes DROOL.....and here was PJ soaking through several bibs and onesies/shirts each hour. I decided that there MUST be some bibs that actually DO what they are supposed to do.....protect clothing! Well sure, there are those vinyl or plastic bibs, but really, how uncomfortable is that? I decided to browse Etsy one day and came across the cutest handmade bibs made by Jenny of Colby Lane Designs. It was the adorable custom fabrics that first caught my eye, but after ordering a few, I was in LOVE. Not only were they SUPER cute, but they were reversible with plush chenille on the back side, so they were nice and soft, AND soaked up drool like no other! Not ONCE did PJ soak through a bib after that...whether it was drool, milk, water, food, etc.  I immediately bought a good supply and used them forever (basically up until PJ no longer needed bibs)....and guess what?...even after years of use and many, many washes, they were STILL in great enough condition to give away, sell, donate, etc. 

So what does this have to do with this post? Well Jenny (the owner) and I remained in contact throughout the years since I would often order bibs as baby shower gifts, etc. She found me on Facebook and one day she posted a photo of her adorable little girl and her best friend wearing dresses that she had made for them.  I commented on how frickin' cute they were.....and next thing I know, there was a message in my inbox saying "Have PJ pick out the fabrics she wants for a dress and I will send one to you! I still owe you big time for being one of my first customers!!".  

How amazingly sweet is she!?  

Ok, ok.....i'll cut to the chase. So we've had the dress for a while now and of course I wanted to take some pics of PJ in the dress, but my schedule has been a little crazy (on top of the fact that it's been ridiculously hot, I was sick, PJ started a new school, etc). Well one day last week, PJ and I headed out to grab some breakfast and on the way home I noticed that it was pretty cool out and overcast. I knew it would be a great time to shoot at a location that I haven't shot at in quite some time.  We rushed home, threw on the dress, hopped in the car, ran to the location....and thank goodness we rushed it all because the searing sun came out about 15 minutes into shooting.    Can you guess PJ's fabric choice? ;)
