Bright and fun

Fluoro is back in fashion! Yes, you heard me and doesn't that bring back memories from the happy and for me anyway, fashion faux paux decade of the 80s! I cringe in despair recalling those highwaisted stonewashed denims, cleverly matched with a neon pink fake leather belt. Also not forgetting my to die for neon yellow scrunchie! It all seem to look a bit better now or perhaps it is just nostalgic thoughts that gets me thinking it's not that bad with super bright. These very cute bow clips are cheerful and fun, a great way to put a bit of colour to an outfit.

A couple of weeks ago we unpacked these Plastisock 'Fairytale' Tees and our thoughts instantly connected with the fluoro revival. It is the brightest happiest tee we've ever seen, absolutely gorgeous. A quick look at the fabric pattern gives you an illusion of a funky retro 70s wall paper but look a little bit closer and you'll see the most exquisite little fairies, knights, witches, dragons and many more well known characters. Your little munchkin will have a field day in "Fairytale land".

Look at me!

This two adorable photos was sent to us a little while ago by Virginia from Brisbane. Her little girl Tess (22 months) absolutely loves wearing her 'Brown circus' dress by Plastisock. Doesn't she look like she's having a great time playing at her local Gymbaroo? Mum Virginia says that every time her daughter wears this outfit she always gets compliments from other mum's for it's funky pattern and great design. We totally agree but it's all due to the cute little model of course!

New venture

Welcome to Baby goes Retro blog! Who would have thought back in November last year when we opened up our web shop that in 7 months time we can present our very own blog. We are so excited and very curious about your response. What is this blog going to be about then? Well, fashion for kiddies and babies of course, because we love it. New ideas and funny cool things that we find or hear about, things that will interest us and you. We'll also throw in bits and bobs about our lives as 'working - from - home mums' with all it's challenges and sometimes hilarious escapades.

Now, it's not just going to be us sitting here and waffling on about stuff, we would love for you to be part of it as well. Comments, suggestions, ideas, praise (love it), criticism (we can only get better) or anything else that comes to mind (which is certainly a busy place if you are a mother!). One large and hopefully popular part of this blog will be photos of your little angles (or devils) in Baby goes Retro outfits. Email them to us and we'll post them here for everybody to admire! We like cute ones, funny ones, cheeky ones and all in between.
