Cute Dog Clothes for Sawyer

              The other day I was walking in the mall when I passed a woman with what looked like a big purse over her shoulder.  Now this is nothing new or amazing to see people shopping and especially women shopping sporting a larger than normal bag on their shoulder.  This one however had a “head”.   I don’t mean that the purse actually had a “head” but there was a cute tiny head poking out the end of the purse.  I was walking behind and to the side of this woman so I had a pretty good view of what exactly this was.   We entered the same store.   I usually don’t talk to strangers, as my mother taught me while in my youth but this small creature she had in her purse intrigued me.   I therefore struck up a conversation with her about what she was carrying in her purse.
                  If you have ever encountered a person with their animal, whether it be big or small you soon learn how precious these animals are to them.  This woman was no different.  She then proceeded to explain everything I could possible every want to know about her “Katie” and then some.   She had brought Katie inside to shop because it was summer and she didn't want to leave her out in the hot car. My question, to myself, was if she was going shopping why she didn't just leave Katie at home.  But like all animal lovers this cute little dog wasn't just a dog,  it was her life.   She then proceeded to take Katie out of the “purse” to show me the cute dog clothes that Katie was wearing.  And cute they were.   I had seen fancy collars and bows tied on the top of dogs ears after they had been groomed before but I don’t think I was prepared to see a full blown outfit on a dog.
                Katie, I had to admit looked adorable.  Where in the world would you get such a tiny outfit to fit this small of a dog?  As a little girl I used to, as I am sure all little girls do, to “dress up” the family dog.   I just used the doll clothes I had for my big baby doll.  I thought our dog was really cute but that it seems was nothing compared to what Katie had on.  Katie also had on a beautiful collar with all the “bling” that she would ever want.  I guess dogs want “bling”.   Then before I knew what was happening she pulled out a photo album from the side pocket of the purse and proceeded to show me all the “photo shoots” that she had done of Katie in her various outfits.  It was like asking a grandma about her grandchildren. 

                There really were some cute dog outfits.   Katie it seemed had more clothes than I did.  And they were way cuter too.  This woman told me she had obtained these clothes from http://www.doggiefashiontrends.com/clothing.  So when my daughter got her precious Sawyer I went to this site and got Sawyer  the cutest raincoat ever.  I don’t think I will be like this woman in the mall but I do think that Sawyer will be seeing cuter clothes and accessories than my family dog ever saw.

a Celebrity Dress of my own.....

From the time I was a little girl I couldn't get enough magazines showing all the beautiful dresses that the famous celebrities wore.   I had an older sister and so whenever there was a formal dance at her high school from the time she stepped out of the shower until the time her date would come by and pick her up I would be right behind her.  I think she really like having me there and didn't think I was a pest.  She would always answer questions and I am sure there were many about what type of material was in her dress to just how she felt wearing such a beautiful dress.  I remember once when the formal dress she wore had a big skirt that when she twirled around it looked just like a beautiful merry-go-round with all the beautiful painted horses.
 Then came the time she got married and I know money was tight and so for me to be in the wedding party my mother had to cut down one of her formal dresses to be made into a dress for me.  Now some might think this would not be a fair thing or even something that I would be happy about but it was like a dream come true for me to have one a dress made just like the ones I had seen my sister wear.  As I grew I still could not obtain too many magazines with pictures of the beautiful people in their beautiful clothing.  As I approached the time when I would be needing formal wear the people who were wearing these Celebrity Dresses became the ones I now would associate with great movie roles.  These people and their clothing took on a different meaning than just having beautiful clothes.   Their personalities and the way they presented themselves completed the overall look.  A formal dress could have all the qualities of a top designer’s idea but if the wearer was rude or out of sync with the people the dress would not have the drawing power of one worn by a nice truly kind celebrity would have for me.
 As senior prom approached I spent hours and hours going through all the magazines to find the perfect formal gown.  There were long dresses, short dresses, strapless dresses and even some dresses with sleeves.  Dresses that have sleeves now days are a novelty.  But my hard work paid off as I found the perfect dresses that are until I checked out the price tag.  So now my searching took me in a different direction.  A direction of finding my “perfect” dress at a price I could afford.  Once again my hard work at research produced a site that had the dress that looked just like the one in the magazine.  It was beautiful and I was in heaven.

 When it arrived it could not have fit more perfect than if it had been made just for me.  Let my hard work and diligence be a benefit to you and check out dresses at http://www.fiestaformals.com/all-dresses/by-length/evening-gowns.htmlThere will only be one problem…the problem of choosing just one!
