…that produces such excellent outfits?

Something in the air? The water? I don’t know for sure the reason. But one thing IS certain,

FRIDAY = LOOKING AWESOME!

Recall if you will the last time I posted about one of Millie’s outfits. She wore that on a Friday.

She always seems to look her very cutest on a Friday.

About three Fridays past she wore this number:

Close up of those socks:

The very socks she told me she did not want to wear, but somehow I convinced her they were the bees’ knees. Later that day as we were walking home we passed a few hip college aged girls who made special mention of  THE SOCKS! Millie beamed with pride. A little fashionista in the making, I tell ya.

Last Friday she sported this sweet “get-up”:

But I feel pretty convinced that this Friday’s outfit takes the cake:

She is not the first, nor will she be the last little girl who will parade through the darkening streets at Halloween , as Dorothy Gale, but she is MY Dorothy and so, as you can imagine, I am smitten.

Last night as I was gathering her costume together I thought about Adrian Adolph Greenburg, the designer responsible for this costume that has become iconic. It really is a great design. I wanted to thank him for his design and especially for those ruby slippers. (And I want to thank Target for mass producing them, and only charging $10 for them!)

Once we were in the grocery store and Millie was wearing her sparkly red Dorothy shoes (these are actually her second pair, she’s out-grown the first) the lady behind us in line said, “OH! THOSE SHOES! I always wanted a pair of those shoes!” I’d wanted them too. Target didn’t exist when she and I were little girls.

So wear them for yourself and all the other little girls who always wanted a pair!

Here’s lookin’ at you kid.

And here’s to a H A P P Y  H A L L O W E E N !!
