When it comes to fashion and style for my little guy, I have been pretty blessed to have worked with some wonderful designers and clothing companies. Since B was just a tiny little babe, I have enjoyed picking out adorable outfits for him, and many of them have been handmade and personalized. Personalized children's clothing has been all the rage through the past few years, and I don't see the trend disappearing anytime soon. From appliqued designs to embroidered names and monograms, we've enjoyed being able to personalized many of B's shirts with adorable designs, and best of all- adding his name, which is slightly uncommon, helps others pronounce it correctly and learn how to spell it!

I knew that B would be way to tall to fit into much of anything that we had left over from late summer/fall of 2013. As I began to look around for some new clothing options for him, for this spring and summer, I ran across an adorable boutique- Adorable Designs Custom Children's Boutique Clothing. I was drawn in by the bright, cheery website, which was so welcoming! I began looking through the designs for boys clothing, and loved what I saw- adorable spring and summer t-shirts and shorts for boys. I connected with Bettina, owner of Adorable Designs, and she offered to send us an outfit of my choosing for B!

I had a hard time narrowing down my choices, but really thought about what would be special to B, and correspond with his likes. We have really been into pirates lately- from playing pretend, to watching Disney Junior's Jake and the Neverland Pirates, so I thought a pirate ship shirt and pair of matching shorts would be a great choice!

Our package from Bettina of Adorable Designs...

I couldn't wait to take B's new outfit out of the plastic protective packaging that it arrived in, so I could get a better look at it. From what I could tell, the design looked wonderful!

Here's the outfit, with an Adorable Designs business card, and a coupon for 15% off my next order!

Black and white gingham shorts, which match the ship on B's new shirt.

Here's a closer look at the actual design on the t-shirt...

What I love about the t-shirt by Adorable Designs, is that it's simple, but so, so cute! You can tell by looking at it, what it is, and I love the way B's monogram is incorporated into the sail! The t-shirt is 100% cotton, and super soft. We went with a size 4T for B, and it's a tad roomy on him, which is great, because that means that he'll be able to wear this shirt through the summer months. 

I knew the true test for this shirt, and the whole outfit, really, would be B's willingness and want to wear it. When I presented B with his new outfit, a huge smile swept across his face. 'Is that my pirate ship shirt?' He was so excited for this new shirt, and asked to wear it right away. We did try it right on to make sure it fit, and then we saved it for later in the week, so he could wear it to the Pirate and Princess Adventures Live Show we'd be attending.

Here we are at the Pirate and Princess Adventures Live Show. B was wearing the shirt, only, because it was still too chilly to wear the shorts just yet.

B felt very special wearning his personalized pirate ship shirt to the pirate show! It fit him so well, and lots of other moms were asking us where his shirt came from while we sat in the arena, during the show's breaks. Once the weather warmed up a couple of weeks later, we were finally able to wear the entire outfit together!

Let's go, matey!

'We're off to find some gold deblouns!'

Both the shirt and shorts look incredibly adorable together! My little buckaneer really loved wearing this outfit. The shorts have an elastic waist, which I love, because they makes for easy on/easy off for potty breaks, etc. They're also super comfortable, and are lightweight- perfect for keeping this little dude nice and cool on a hot spring or summer day. The length is another plus about the shorts. B is really quite tall for being three years old (most people think he's four, going on five and are astonished to hear us say, 'He's three and a half.' I am so happy that these shorts fit him well in the front and back, in the lenth and are comfy in the waist. I know that he'll be asking to wear them again soon!

Sweet little pirate boy in his sweet little outfit from Adorable Designs!

The whole outfit held up well for all-day wear!

...and afternoon snack...

B's outfit really impressed when he wore it to our Weekday Church School program, as well. There are always lots of adorable outfits being worn by the other children, and he was very proud to show everyone his special new shirt!

After a day of playing at home, at the playground and after three meals and a couple of snacks in the pirate ship outfit from Adorable Designs, I knew it would need a good washing! Since the t-shirt is white, I knew it would wind up with a few dirty spots, but they were nothing that our spray and wash stain remover couldn't handle. I washed both pieces of this outfit in the washing maching, and turned the shirt inside out before placing it in the dryer, on low. They both came out of the dryer looking beautifully clean, and they're ready to be worn again!
