We Whimsies enjoyed our Halloween costumes so much that we did not want to take them off for several days after Halloween. But we soon found it was difficult to sleep—me, with my torso stuffed fat with plastic bags, Tessie with wings, and Trixie with that eye patch that kept falling down over her eye and making her all “cockeyed.” So finally we decided it was time to get back to reality, and get back into some nice comfortable clothes.
When we changed clothes, we realized that a number of items we put on were new from The Thrift Store Boutique. So we all looked at each other and exclaimed, “Fashion Show!” We love showing off our many beautiful and comfortable outfits, and sharing them here with you.
I’ll go first, since Fred the Dinosaur is also anxious to make another appearance on the blog. As you can see here, I am wearing a one piece snap-up pajammie in gray with red collar and cuffs, but if you take a really close look, you can see that the theme is…DINOSAURS!! This is probably an outfit that was meant for little boys to wear, but I don’t care. I like it, it feels good, and Fred has been exceptionally affectionate towards me every since I put on these pajammies. In fact, I would say lately he’s been acting a little “clingy.” I hope there’s nothing wrong with him, I hope it is only that he enjoys the softness and the images on my new gray dinosaur pajammies.
Next, Trixie looks simply lovely in her pink and violet ensemble. You’ve seen these sweatpants before (they were part of the outfit she wore when she watched Twilight and fell in love with Edward Cullen), but the top is new, and doesn’t it just fit her perfectly! What pretty details, with the little bows nestled between the front snaps!
You’ll notice that we are now all opting for long sleeves. That is because the weather is finally beginning to get colder here in Whimsieville, and short sleeves are no longer appropriate. Even as I write this, the Household Heat has kicked on in our bedroom, and so we are all feeling quite cosy with our long sleeves, long pants and cuddling on the comfortable blankets. 
I think, however, after this photo shoot, we should all go and put on some of our nice comfy socks! Our feet are still feeling cold, with our little toes hanging out in the air like that!
Finally, here is Tessie, and she is wearing a new pair of pants in a pretty perriwinkle, paired with an old familiar shirt you may have seen before. This is a shirt that Miss Chrissy’s children wore when they were little, so it is old, though not as old as us. It is extremely soft, from many many trips through the washing machine and dryer, which makes it a simply delightful piece to wear. The fact that it is steeped in history makes it even more delightful! Miss Chrissy’s children live far away now, so we have not met them yet, though we are hoping to meet them some day. In the meantime, Miss Chrissy frequently sends them pictures of us, whenever she feels we look exceptionally pretty or adorable. (Which is very often!!)
Here’s one picture she will be sending for sure, since both Miss Chrissy’s children are well-acquainted with Mr. Squee and will surely enjoy seeing how he is choosing to keep himself warm and comfortable by cuddling close with us Whimsies. Mr. Squee told us he thought he heard a dog on the perimeters of Whimsieville, so he felt he ought to stay exceptionally close, all the better to guard us. We are certain we did not hear any dogs, but did not say so to Mr. Squee. We think perhaps he got jealous when he saw how Fred the Dinosaur was cuddling with me, and wanted his chance to cuddle as well. Or perhaps he is feeling the cold as much as we are. Mr. Squee, of course, is always wearing his beautiful black fur coat, but he does not care to put on clothes with long sleeves, so cuddling is one easy way to help keep warm. No matter what his motivations, we are always happy to hang out with Mr. Squee.
