I was a child of growing up propper. Hat and gloves for Church. Patten leather so shiny you could almost see yourself. Small purse with propper hankie just incase. Never without a petty coat under that perfect dress.

In reply to Becca. Becca, one more thing: I just received a comment from a mom of three who just moved to Houston. She asked you for good clothing store recommendations (for children)? Thanks!

In reply to Becca. Becca, we just moved to Houston from. I am having trouble finding places to shop for my three (2 girls, 6 and 3, and 1 yr old boy). Especially for traditional shoes! Any suggestions?

I know it’s so hard with boys! Depending on how old your boys are – http://www.alicekathleen.com has very traditional but not smocked clothing for boys. For non babies, Florence Eiseman has a line just for boys called T.F. Laurence on http://www.florennceeiseman.com for 2-7 year olds that is great for sporty-type clothes. I also like some stuff from Crew Cuts (from J. Crew) and the usual trunk show type companies but many of them you can order online: Kellys Kids, Shirimp and Grits, Kate and Libby, etc. Please share any good ones you love! Thank you for commenting.

I couldn’t agree more! I wish I had a little girl. It’s a bit easier with girls than it is boys. Suggestions on lines to scout for baby and growing boys? Thanks!

I just found your blog and LOVE it! I live in Houston, but my in laws live in Dallas and Layette is a must every time we are up there! I just had to agree with you about how wonderful everyone is there. They always are so sweet to my kids who are 1 and 4 and can be crazy because shopping isn’t their favorite. I wish we had a Layette in Houston!!
