Ok, I always have to order a bunch of things in different colors to decide what I like. Some of my order is still on the way, but here is some of what is already here. I like these Lolli shorts but don't really need them in 2 colors!
Here's the funny flower tank in size 3, shorts also size 3. I heard this is running small and I think even the 3 looks small - she's usually a 2T

Nec. fitted tank w/ lawn in marine size 3. My camera makes it look kind of neon, but the color matches the darker accent in the shorts. I was thinking I'd put this tank w/ the new pink stripe pants instead of the cami that Maureen did.

Solid tee w/ lolli flower sleeves, 2T - I think this looks too big, what do you think?

Cami in 18-24 - do you like the poplin top w/ knit bottoms?

fitted tank in new orange. Excuse the onesie underneath! I didn't order these to go together but thought I'd try it out!

Thanks for looking! I'll put the rest of our loot in another post.

Ok, here's the rest!

I like this dress and will probably not put anything under it since it gets so hot here. I wanted spearmint but couldn't find one in 2T. The wipe is a clean one! Excuse the messy hair!

This is a 2T. I have one coming in spearmint, we'll see which looks better on her.

I love this cami! Haven't decided if I'll keep the pants although I like them. Saw a picture on GR with denim skirt - was really cute!

Ordered this dress since I couldn't find a cami in this color, but am sending it back. Found a cami at Mission Viejo and someone is sending it to me to go with the pants. This hat is huge! Got another style in same size (18-36m) and it is too small! Go figure!

It all looks adorable on your DD. What a sweetie! I think all of the colors look great on her. I usually try and get a different color in each different outfit. I have this problem that I tend to lean towards pink all of the time, so I try and get other colors so we mix up the wardrobe a bit. I would decide which outfits you are going to mix and match with and go from there.

I love it all. I'd say if you have to return one, the last would be my pick...for some reason that dress isn't doing it for me over the striped pants...on the website or on kids.

We do have the pants with a cami and love it. I think that dress could be cute with plain pants or even the basic shorts (used almost like a diaper cover). I LOVE the babygrow!!! Will have to order that when it goes on sale.

How tall/heavy is your DD? I'm trying to figure if I should buy a 2T or 18-24 in the babygrow...Sophie is 22lbs and 30.5 inches.

Thanks for sharing!

Best,
Mary

I am planning on sending back the last dress. It doesn't do anything for me - I wasn't even going to get it but it was suggested when I couldn't find a spearmint cami to go with the pants.

Kate is about 33 inches and 26lbs. I think for size it would depend on if Sophie is long in the torso. I read that some have had to size up to 2T instead of 18-24 to get enough length in the torso.

Wow! You got some great things!

I agree with you, the first top is too tight. Try those shorts under the spearmint dress. AG had a similar dress and shorts outfit last summer and we really enjoyed it.

The marine tee and spearmint shorts look really cute but they aren't my favorite compared to the other things you have.

I like the next outfit (solid pink top & shorts). It looks really cute to me and not too big. I like the cami with the shorts, too. I don't think I like the last tank with the shorts. I must just not like that combo too well since I think both pieces are adorable separately. :)

I love all the rest of the outfits! The pink dress is really cute on her. I *love* the orange babygrow...it's just TDF! I think the pink cami and pants are adorable together. And I actually like the last outfit too (I'm biased as we have the dress in that color with different pants).

Very, very cute! And your dd is adorable!

I agree completely with Denise! :) The babygrow is TDF cute. It's my fave out of all the outfits. And I love the pink cami with the pink pants. And that spearmint hat on Kate in the last pic is so cute. I really like that outfit on her.

Love the marine color on her! I think that would be very cute with the striped pants. And the pink stuff looks great with her coloring.

And hey, how did she get to be so big?! :) She looks like a little girl now.

Kate is such a cute little blondie! She looks great in Naartjie! I think the lolli pieces look great on her. The pink top doesn't look big at all. I love the lolli pieces - and we have the shorts, capris, tanks and lolli sleeve top in 2 colors! ;-)

I have to be honest, I love it ALL on her. I adore this line though and there is nothing that I don't like. She seems to look good in all of the colors too. She's a doll! Sorry, I'm not much help in helping you weed some stuff out. I have a big order coming too and the IDEA is to return some of it...yeah, we'll see if that happens.

Kate looks great in all of these! I love the first dress on her. I didn't like it on my girls, but I seem to like it on everyone else's girls! The babygrow is adorable! I wish I had someone that would fit into one! The orange looks great on Kate. Love the pink cami and pants, too. And the spearmint dress, capris and hat! That is so cute! I like the baby girl version of that dress better than the big girl.

I love them all!

Love the funny flower tank & lolli shorts in spearmint. The color is great on your DD! The tank fits my DD the same way, but I'm afraid the armholes might be too big on the 4. I like the marine fitted tank, but I love how the flower applique on the basic cami ties in with the pink in the striped capris. I don't think the new pink top looks too big, but overall I don't like this outfit as much on your DD as the spearmint set. If you're thinking of returning one of the shorts sets, I'd probably go with this one. I *love* the new pink cami! In the past I have not been a fan of poplin tops w/knit bottoms, but this combo is growing on me as I see it on more kids.

The new pink dress and new orange babygrow both look great on your DD. If you don't have any other new orange outfits, I'd probably go with this color... unless you try the spearmint one on her and have to have it! I really like the new pink cami/capri set. If you're not sure about the pants, though, I'd go ahead and return them. Apparently this is a two-part line, and you know you're going to want some of the new stuff when it arrives! I'm not loving the spearmint dress, but it sounds like you've already decided to return it anyway. The pants are great and you're going to love the way they look with the cami.

Great choices! Let us know what you decide to keep.

Everything is really cute on her. I agree with Heidi about the different colors in each outfit - that's a good idea.

If I really have to pick a couple of outfits to eliminate, I vote for the 4th & 6th pictures in the original post.

Oooohhh, Kate is so pretty. Love her hair! I think everything looks great on her - my faves are the orange babygrow, spearmint outfit(s) and the new pink cami and pink tee/shorts. you have a great mix of more dress and comfy stuff. I also think the headbands look so sweet on you daughter. Great choices!!

What a cutie pie! I love the expression and hand gesture in the first photo. Adorable.

She looks beautiful in all of the outfits. My favorties are funny flower tank and shorts, lolli flower shorts with the cami (yes, I think they look great together), and the orange-pink babygrow in the second set of photos. The headband looks precious with it too. :)

I do love the pants in the last photo. That color is gorgeous on her. I think the cami would compliment those pants very well.

What a cutie! I'm probably not going to be much help here because I love everything that you bought. My favorites are the babygrown and the pink cami with the pink capris. I also like the pink cami with the shorts too.

I'm no help either!! I got a pile I need to thin out too - and after seeing your DD in the babygrow, I must get one LOL!

I decided to keep the white bloomers and return the orange ones, so let me know if you want them! They would look great with your pink cami or your orange tank :)

Such *adorable* pictures! And WOW, she looks fantastic in the marine color!!! You should definitely keep that top, but maybe pair it with different bottoms? I also love her in new orange and spearmint. The new pink is not my favorite color on her but I do love the new pink poplin cami & bottoms set. Maybe put the marine top with the new pink bottoms so you have marine at her face, which really makes her eyes just pop.

It's so hard to decide, isn't it???

Jan,

What a cutie Miss Kate is! EP would love to play with her sometime!

Well, she is just adorable in everything. It is so hard to eliminate! I do think that the tank in the first pic is too small and I don't *love* the spearmint dress on her. Other than that, everything is TDF!
