Fall Part II (This should be it!) All Naartjie new line pics

[dules]

Can you all stand more pics? DD was willing to model the new line stuff we picked up in CA. A few people emailed/PMd me about sizing etc. when I posted the pics of the clothing so thought this might be useful.

I also need opinions on a couple of things. :)

First, Trans Purple tiered print/knit skirt with essential striped leggings and top. Leggings and top size 4, skirt 3 (runs long and waist runs big). This was hands down my favorite thing in the store and I don't like it at all on her, too bag-lady ish. It's going back.

Next, I need help deciding which pants to keep - the twill or the essential solid knit? I really prefer the twill but they were $22.50 vs the essentials that were only $10 (2/20). Are the twill really worth twice the price? (tops size 4, bottoms 3)

The dropy dress set. The dress is a 2T and seems to run a bit long (DD is about 37.5 - 38 inches) and the pants are a 3 and rolled once at the waist. The headscarf is great because it's knit and stretchy.

Fuschia NEC skirt in 4, solid essential top and striped leggings in 4 with striped headband. Like this OK, DD likes it a lot and it wasn't too pricy. Can also work without the skirt.

Notch neck knit top and striped leggings, both 4. We also have the fuschia tiered pants like under the dress but DD was done changing pants. This top is great, like a nice sweatshirt, with sweater knit cuffs. Sorry about the flash - this color is VERY bright.

Last, tie dye top in Cheeky size 5. I so wanted to love this with the NEC skirt but it doesn't do anything for me. The model was tired and wanted to sit down. :)

Thanks for looking!

Wow, your DD is so cute! I love everything, I really like that Dropy color. I actually like the knit pants better- they seem to fit better.

I really have to bite the bullet and order some of this stuff!

I like the knit pants better too.

Your DD is so cute, love her hair. Notch neck top is by far my favorite, it looks both cute and comfortable. And in my unprofessional opinion (I have a boy) it's the right length to allow your DD to run as much as she wants without clothing getting in the way. Last but not least, I like the twill pants better. And if you and your DD like them more, I'd keep them rather than the essential ones as you'd reach for them more often and hence will get better value for your money.

Wow, I love Naartjie. :) She is adorable! I really like her in the hats! I think I would keep the twill pants - she looks so cute in them and I would like having the option of a different looking pair, as opposed to having all knits. Love the Dropy dress outfit - now I really want it for DD :) I also love the notch neck outfit - it just looks so little girl and sweet. So when does this line go on sale? ;)

Thanks so much for posting pictures, Mary! It helps me out tremendously with sizing for my older DD!

Mary,

She is a little person now! I can't believe it. I told you before that when Liv was newborn I would nurse her for what seemed like HOURS and I swear the pics of your DD totally got me through those "sore" days! Thank-god I could surf and nurse :)
Now she is all grown up!

So, I like the knit pants much better than the twill, the dropy set is beautiful, and I really like the outfit with Elmo by her leg, notch neck I think. Really cute and thanks for the pics!

Great pics! I love seeing Naartjie on actual kids b/c it's hard for me to put together outfits on their website. I never know what it's really going to look like - kwim? Do you have any idea when these lines will be online?

For the pants, I definitely like the twill a lot better. They make the outfit.

That dropy set is beautiful, and I actually like the idea of the first outfit, but it seems like the sizing/fit is way off.

Cutie model!!

Thanks for the pictures! did your daughter mind so many layers - leggings, skirt, and underwear? I like the look, but is it diffucult to use the bathroom? And is it bunchy at the waist?

She's such a great model - and I love her hair! My favorites are the dropy set, the fuschia NEC skirt set and the notched shirt set.

I'm no help between the twill pants and the knit pants - I like them both!

I know what you mean about the first outfit but instead of sending it back could you exchange the skirt for a BG in a teeny size (if it comes in Baby Girl)?
It'd most likely just be a difference in length (Chloe's 3.5 and she can still wear 6-12 Naartjie bottoms as capris ) I bet it's look great if the skirt was shorter.
As for everything else-she looks great!! Love the kerchief and the hat.
I'd keep the twill pants.
