Ode Kids {Sunny’s Style, no. 10}
by Ashley Weeks Cart
We’re kicking off Sunny’s 2012 Style section with a purple blaze of awesome thanks to Ode Kids. If you’ve been reading for awhile then you already know that this family has a minor (fine, MAJOR) obsession with the royal shade of purple. It’s our Eph roots. We can’t help ourselves. So it comes as no surprise that when selecting an Ode Kids dress for Miss Addison, I opted for the Gabby in said hue.

This dress is by far the most exquisite ensemble in Sunny’s wardrobe. Even I don’t have a 100% silk gown hanging in my closet. But, while the dress is stunningly beautiful, it is also styled in such a casual and comfortable manner, that the 2.5 year old adores wearing it, complete with her “party shoes.”
Side note: My father (a geneticist) jokes that there must be a Patent Leather Gene running in the XX chromosome. Now that I’m mother to two daughters, I totally get it.
The dress proved to be a very festive choice in which to ring in the New Year. Complete with confetti! You can see very clearly how much fun she had rocking her new purple duds. Also? I’m totally aware that I need to get over my fear of ironing. NOTED!

wowowow these are GORGEOUS!!! i love the Amelia… “A summer wedding or a tea party with her friends is the perfect occasion for this classic dress.”
did someone say tea party??
My cousin would look adorable in the Amelia! Love that fabric.
Sunny looks fantastic! So adorable!
I agree with Meg – the Gabby would be fabulous on any age and in any size!
The SHADE of purple silk is incredible also.
For summer Sarina is awesome too, with Chrissy close behind!

I love the Amelia! What a cute, classic little girl’s dress. I can just imagine Alison toddling down by the seaside in that dress next summer. The blue Ikat is divine – I am doing my best to raise a new generation of blue lovin’ ladies! No mistaking her for a boy in the Amelia.
My favorite is the Julia wrap dress. I really love that print with the edging details.
