I can't stand the heat. The humidity makes me sticky and cranky. Unfortunately, I think O has inherited the trait. In the middle of winter, O only needed two layers and was good to go. Never complained about the cold. Now, she can be practically naked and still whine nonstop about the heat..

I try to put her in loose cotton dresses so that she stays cool. We bought her a few vintage 60's dresses by Gay Sprites from Marchand de Legumes in Nolita. She wore the blue one to the baby shower this past weekend and it was a hit. However, they are a little too formal for the everyday, so they are now back in the closet until our next party.

Today, O is wearing a dress by Imps+Elfs from Uncle M. It is made of cotton and lycra so it is cool and comfy at the same time. It features a ruffled elastic neckline, and sleeves, as well as side ruching on the front and a three snap closure on the back for easy dressing. According to the Sons and Daughters website, "Imps & Elfs works with MADE-BY to clean up the production process. The ultimate goal of this cooperation between fashion and fair trade is to produce clothes that are 100% child labor free and made from organic cotton." Not only are the products well-designed, but the company is socially aware. And guess what? They're DUTCH!!!
