Style // Eternal Creation // Giveaway

by Ashley Weeks Cart

One of the many perks of parenting two daughters is the opportunity to dress them in nauseatingly adorable complimentary outfits.

While I certainly opt for the complete matching ensemble every now and again, my preference is to dress the girls is clothing that has matching elements, but that captures the distinct personality and developmental stage of each daughter. When Eternal Creation offered to send me an outfit for both Courtland and Addison, I jumped at the opportunity. Not only do they have some sweet, easy, playful styles, I’m totally digging their mission:

To improve the lives of Tibetan refugees and local Indians by providing stable employment and training in beautiful surroundings and promote friendship between the two communities.

And when the clothing arrived in a sewn, fabric package from half way around the world, well… swoon!

Courtland the Crawler needs clothing that protects her knees and that doesn’t get tangled up in her limbs as she navigates the room. Dresses are a problem. Thus, she’s rocking a light and comfy purple polka-dot playsuit.

Meanwhile, Addison delights in twirling and dancing around the yard in dresses with a flouncy swirl. She hates pants or any loose fitting pant or short. She has a soft spot for floral patterns, and if her clothing has pockets? Well, stick a fork in her, she’s done. And so this sundress was the ultimate winner. And best of all, it’s trim and sashes were the same fabric as Kaki’s sweet romper.

Pretty magical, eh?

I’ll admit, when the girls play happily, without argument or tussle, while simultaneously donning complimentary (fair trade) ensembles? I go right ahead and pat myself on the back for a job well done.

Hey, I’ll take the harmony when I can!
