Let's face it, there's a 50% chance that Blinky is a lady Blink...which means life will now revolve around tiny adorable outfits. I decided that the first outfit my child greets the world in will be a proper outfit, not just a onesie or sleeper. This baby's coming home in style. And since we don't know what kind of bits Blinky has at the moment, that just means I have to buy two outfits and return the one that obviously won't work. But the pressure! Oh mah gaaahhd the pressure. What is the *perfect* first outfit? Let's go shopping!
Our first stop is at Gymboree where we find the Porcelain Doll collection. Numero uno, I love the periwinkle and white combo. Baby pink makes me vom. Secondly, I like the old-fashioned-ness of them all. Bloomers? Yes please. Ruffle butts? Fer Sure. Tiny coordinating hats and headbands? Sign me up.
Our next stop is at babyGap. I have a Gap problem. The problem is I NEED everything in it, especially the Lavendar Hill collection. Look below, then at their website for the rest of it, then proceed to the squealing portion of the program. Now I know newborns do not require silver ballet slippers, but um, you tell me, how the effffffff do you NOT buy those?
Our last stop is at your fave and mine, Target, where I came across this little number, by DwellStudio. I know it doesn't scream newborn but it certainly screams "I AM EFFING CUTEST BABY ALIVE!", right? Dude, I really need to stop cursing so much in baby-related posts, not very maternal of me. Anyway, pair this outfit with the teeny weeny headband below from etsy and you've got yourself a superduperprecious ahn-sahm-blay.
So kiddies, what do you think? Do you think baby girls should only come home in pastel pink? Am I going overboard? Have an adorable outfit I need to see? Vote!
Oh and baby boy's clothes are a whole nother subject for another day. Ughhh.

ok i'm the only one who voted so far - but i looooove the gymboree outfit. the dress & bloomers combo is so cute and the fact that you can get a hat and headband helps since you have no idea of the weather, what the baby will tolerate, etc.
i wish i put more thought into my coming home outfit, since it was like 5 degrees when we brought gobbles home, we just opted for the warmest sleeper we had.
(1) Love the ruffle butt. I was the second vote for the gymboree outfit. I haven't even thought about "coming home outfits" - but you're right. I need to get TWO! Crap.
(2) Digging the new blog layout.
(3) Ain't nothing wrong with swearing in the baby posts. Kid can't read yet, right?
First off, LOVE the new blog look! And while all of those made me squeal, the first one kinda made my ovaries ache so I voted for the ruffle butt with that little headband! Ah! (Oh, excessive pink on baby girls makes me vom too).
love me some gymboree. but the target one is cute too.
Not into the pastel pink either. yet somehow it now dominates my house and my daughter's wardrobe. What can I say? it's her favorite color and I try to let her be a little independent
baby gap is my vote, so adorbs
so cute! i love how they are girly, without needing to be baby pink :)
I'm loving baby Gap, and the new layout!
Rufflebutt 2010!
Horrayy for the summertime header!
Ok.. #1. That first outfit, I am 95% sure I had a Cabbage Patch decked out in the same garb. Just sayin'.
#2. I friggin LOVE the second GAP outfit. The purple. The ruffles. The flowers. I just die. This must happen for... Charlene. Mwa ha ha .

I like them all but like baby gap the best.
Usually I would be all over the old fashoined little adorable number with the ruffles, but there is something about those baby gap outfits that I love. I think it's the coloring. It's such a nice color that it makes me instantly happy just looking at them. I vote baby Gap, but I don't think you could go wrong, seriously.
The Baby Gap ones are pretty much killing me softly-- especially the ruffles!
You probably need headgear of this variety, no?
