old navy fashion show : spring 2010

when i run into friends & acquaintances in town, they jokingly tell me 'we always see y'all here!'

usually they are refering to a. target. b. hobby lobby. or c. old navy.

i don't necessarily buy a lot of clothes, but i do go in there quite frequently to see what has been marked down to $1.47. because that's usually they only way i'll pay for it - dirt. cheap.

when ava was first born, we lived 2.5 seconds from the local shopping area & we would just go up there to pass a little time & get out of the house.

who knew friendships would be born out of our little random trips?!

we visited most with ms. tina {the manager at old navy} & became fast friends ;)

this spring, she invited ava to participate in a fashion show to launch their spring line!

ms. tina picked out ava's first outfit!

here she is prepping in the dressing room :)

she was pretty excited to get out there in front of everyone.

she was doing one of her signature 'pose's' in the above pic.

don't try to replicate peeps - it's already been patented.

like zoolander.

see?! here's her signature pose!

the fabulous ms. billie overstreet took the professional pics of ava & I AM SO GLAD SHE DID!!!!

they are fabulous!!!

love this one!!

haha - she caught ms. billie taking her pic ;)

when ms. tina asked us to participate, she let me come in the store & pick out an outfit for ava - from head to toe.

here's they outfit i put together for her to wear...

AAAAAAADDDDDDOOOOORRRRRAAAAABBBBBLLLLLLLEEEEEEE!!!!!!!

she's about to twirl in this one.

because that's what twirly skirts are for.

i love, love, LOOOVVEEE this pic of ava!

it is one of my favorites EVER!!

thank you so much, billie!!

and here's the rest of the fab models!

{ms. billie's kiddo's are on the right - pretty FAB huh?!?! their momma raised them right.}

i honestly think they all had a fun time! no meltdowns at all!!

ava was pretty excited that ashes came up to watch her walk ;)

the three of us - post catwalk.

here is ava with the wonderful ms. tina!!

after the show, us girls took a little trip downtown to see what fun we could stir up in ava's fab new outfit ;)

did i mention she REFUSED to take off her outfit & we literally had to rip the tags off of it to pay for it?!

she obviously has some serious s.t.y.l.e.

love this pic of the three of them ;)

we made our way to the local coffee shop & while we were waiting for our drinks, tutu tickled the ivories.

and of course, she had to get her fix, too ;)

don't worry - it was just hot cocoa.

but she loved having a cup like the rest of us & prancing around with it!!
