Smock Talk!

A few months ago I discovered smocked clothing auctions on Facebook!  These little gems were well on course to wreck a perfectly balanced family budget.  It is quite the rush to bid against thousands of other smockaholics for sometimes one of a kind outfits for really great prices.  You have to be quick on the refresh button and ready to type fast!  It all started with this adorable purple popsicle bubble!  I totally could not live without it!  My mom and I had both of our computers up waiting for it to pop onto the screen!

Next...I knew that KG would need something patriotic for Memorial Day, Mark's Graduation and July 4th.  

I found this little ballet slipper outfit at Market.  It is for next summer, but it is just too cute!  I had never seen a smocked ballet outfit!

We call K our little bug...love bug...cuddle bug...etc. so obviously she needed a lady bug dress!  This one if for the fall.  :)

This was a steal of a deal!  It was $15 and has slightly imperfect smocking.  It is actually a shirt and will go over leggings or cute ruffle jeans for Christmas time!  

And lastly, I ordered this custom seersucker smocked outfit that will also work for any patriotic functions! It came with bows over the buttons, but they didn't stay on long.  I need to sew them back on as soon as I get a chance.  

So, I think I am an official smockaholic and admitting it is the first step to recovery....right!?  I've resigned from smocked shopping for the rest of this season, but I've already got my eyes peeled for some cute fall and winter stuff!  I think I've got my mom hooked too!  K has a cute little princess outfit on the way from Nonni!
