For the love of Home Ownership

Easy to say and yes I am happy, actually I am ecstatic that I finally entered the home owner elite. Well it seems that way at the moment even though I know we are no more elite than anyone else. In actual fact nothing has really changed. I have to pay money to someone else every month for the privileged of staying in a house. I do not like where I am going with this. I love my new house, all mine now I need to make it my own. The mortgage and insurance are taken care of and I have my new carpets arriving next week so all is well.

Kids Clothing Fashion and Trends

By Jennifer Hess

Kids today are not as simple in terms of clothing as they were years ago. Today, they seek to express themselves in various styles and designs that can also showcase their individuality. In modern times, fashionable clothing has grown beyond just men and women; the kids too have their way and get it. In the bygone era, kids clothing was similar to clothing for their parents but in a smaller size.

They would neither be able to express the sensuality in that because they are at a very tender age and nor would the dress look as good on them as their parents. Hence, designers in kids clothing brought about a revolutionary change and children clothing today not only makes a style statement but also brings out the innocence of the kids coupled with their individuality.

While designing kids clothing, designers have to give utmost priority to comfort and safety. In terms of their clothing, style occupies only a secondary place. Kids run around, play, hop and jump around a lot. Hence, the designers have to design clothing in which the kid not only looks good but can also go about their activities without any fear and inhibitions of tripping over and having a fall.

There are certain points that kids clothing designers need to keep in mind while designing dresses for these tiny tots. The patterns and designs have to be created not only keeping style in mind, but also comfort and safety. It is definitely a bad idea to have long tailcoats for small boys and trailing dresses for small girls. This is definitely a breach of the safety point while creating the design since it increases the chances of the kids tripping and falling over.

Using the right kind of fabric is also very important while designing as well as buying clothes for your children. There are a variety of fabrics available ranging from the traditional cotton to modern day satin, tulle and wool for winters. However, not all fabrics are suitable for all kids. They type of fabric also keeps changing from one season to the other to make the kid feel comfortable.

The skin of the child is very soft, tender and sensitive and needs good protection. Using cotton clothing for winters is as bad as using woollen clothes for summers. Also using clothes made of tulle just because they look good can be bad for your child because this fabric can cause irritation at times when it rubs against the skin of the child especially if worn for a long period of time.

Last but not the least; don't buy clothing that outgrows your child in a matter of days. Even the designers need to make provisions for alterations in kids clothing because at their age, kids grow fast very soon. Hence, clothing with long helms and cuffs are preferred over the others.

There are many dresses available for kids today, that they are totally spoilt for choice. So, go ahead and pick the best of the lot for your precious one and help them bring out their individuality with style.
