Little sister fashionistas

I totally forgot about zipper jeans! That picture is really cute and I'd definitely wear them now. (You'll have to fight me for my skinny jeans even though kids think they are uncool.)

I don't remember buttcrack jeans. They seem really uncomfortable to sit on, like the worst kind of thong.

Karen’s Telephone Trouble. Andrew got some sweet new sneakers. “He was wearing brand-new sneakers with green trim. There were lights on the sides that blinked whenever he walked.” Light-up shoes make me laugh.

Karen’s Two Families. Ok. I was staring at Karen’s shirt on the cover trying to figure out what was on them. I thought they were band-aids, but I finally realized that they are just random crayons. However, there is the tip of a yellow crayon coming out of her waistband that looks vaguely like it could be a male sex organ emerging. Lol. It’s like those random dirty things on Disney VHS covers.


I don't know if you can see it clearly.

Nancy had the cutest clothes in the illustrations in Karen's Baby.  There was a cute grandpa-looking sweater, a kind of busy fancy dress, and a fabulous winter coat.  Karen looked like a snowman next to her.

It's too bad these illustrations aren't in color. The sweater and coat could be wildly colored and extravagant and we wouldn't know. (You can just tell the dress is black and white.)

I get the feeling that Nancy is the most fashionable of three musketeers, that winter coat is super cute.

I really enjoy Karen’s purple pants on this. I like the little check pattern on them. I like the purple/green combination. Not the big white tennies, although I would probably wear the same thing. Andrew looks like a teenager sitting there in his flannel and jeans.

ETA: I don't know why the picture is sideways, but if you click on it then it is normal.

Karen’s Wedding. Karen and company were flower girl dress shopping. They went to a store called Tiger Lily’s, where she tried on a “gorgeous purple and orange dress with layers of lace and ruffles.” Again, this is where I want illustrations to be. Not of the kids fanning themselves over a tin cup.

I liked the dress that they actually picked. It is supposed to be a light blue but looks almost lavender on my cover. The waist bow kinda looks upside down? I hate the rest of the styling with the hat and gloves and thick grandma tights.

I also never noticed that Andrew was wearing his little toolbelt or that it was strapped over one side of his jacket but under the other side.

That orange and purple dress sounds like it was designed by Claudia!
