It's a playdress, it's a daydress, it's an okay-to-spit-up-on dress


I love buying playdresses for Miss L, and boy does she love wearing them. She picks out her own clothes each morning, and she always selects a playdress and leggings. What's not to love about the concept? They are comfortable, look nice and hold up to all her playing and running around. The dress in the photo above was a recent gift from her grandparents.

I have been wanting to add a few new pieces to my own wardrobe and it's been hard to find the right ones to fit my stay-at-home lifestyle. I most want to find dresses that I can wear while doing my daily activities, and more importantly that can hold up during my daily activities. I recently visited Antrhopologie hoping to find something feminine and stylish, but the dresses looked too delicate to withstand carrying an infant in an Ergo and being a target for spit-up. I am hoping you all might have some suggestions for where I can go dress shopping. I would like to add some color to my wardrobe, something I can pair with leggings and a nice cardigan for those foggy days and something that is a little durable for all the messes that come along with having little ones. I also wouldn't mind finding a few nice skirts to go with all those Steven Alan shirts sitting in my closet. Any suggestions for this fashion-challenged mama?
