With Eleanor’s first birthday coming up, she (ha!) and I thought it would be fun to go through the past year and highlight our favorite outfits she wore. The girl has taste, no doubt. From John Deere to Juicy Couture, and everywhere else in between, she has rocked them all. And there was always intention to be sure to show off her curves and rolls while doing so. Accessorizing was key in every outfit and she wore each bow and headband with pride. Yes, this post is complete picture overload, and I don’t even care. So, with out further a due, Eleanor and Mommy’s favorite picks…
Naturally her first outfit was animal print. She wasn’t too sure about it at first, but quickly learned to love and adore all things leopard, zebra and giraffe.

So there you have Eleanor’s year of fashion in one blog posting. Lord willing we will have another girl someday so we can see all of these clothes back on another baby Spach 🙂 I hope you enjoyed taking a walk down memory lane with us. We are incredibly blessed to have had so many friends and family purchase/lend us clothes over the past year. So thank you for your gift of fashion to our baby girl. She wouldn’t look half as good as she does with out you.

Oh my goodness, this made me happy! And want a girl! Lyle doesn't pull off the ruffles and bows near as well as Nora does!

Kim, if you have a girl next, you can borrow Nora's ruffles and bows any time you want 🙂
Alisha says
She is so stinking cute! I love the big bows!! 🙂

Alisha, the bigger the bow, the better the mama, in my opinion!
Michelle says
LOVE this 🙂 having a boy sure does make you be creative, but one day I'll hopefully have a girl 😉

Michelle, girls are so fun! But believe me, if we ever have a boy he will look just as adorable in bow TIES!

It's hard to pick a favorite, but that fur vest is A-MAZING!!! And Arden had the pink and grey leopard vest from Carter's–I always loved that one!
So much fun to recap Nora's year of style! 😉

Isn't that fur vest the greatest thing ever? It seems Nora and Arden have a few similar outfits. I loved all of your vintage picks from your post yesterday 🙂
