As a clothing designer I spend a lot of time planning the clothes that my kids will wear to an outing, whether it's just a casual day at the park or a playgroup. I admit I spend more time than the average parent but these are perfect opportunities for me to promote my business. I hand out more business cards to moms who remark on the cute outfit my kid is wearing while I push him on the swings in the local playground than I do at craft shows or trade events. BUT...my oldest has a love for dirt. Wherever we go he will find some dirt or mulch to cover himself with. And the picture says it all....this is what I am left with. He's still pretty cute but not the best advertiser for Aunt Art clothes. Though one mom recently pointed out, "at least I know your clothes will withstand the dirtiest of kids." Maybe I should put that in my press release.

This is way too funny. What you need to do now is take a picture after the outfit and the boy has been cleaned. This could be your before and after look.
He is really ALL boy. Now you need the frogs in the pockets.
Love,
Mom
