Another toddler birthday party

I remember shopping with my sister-in-law four or five years ago, and she was looking for "kid's birthday party" clothes and shoes.  I didn't quite understand at the time why special clothes were required for kids' birthday parties.  Now I understand.  At least once a month, and often more frequently than that, we all attend a toddler's birthday party as a family.  I need to wear clothes that allow me to sit on the floor, climb, run and play, but at the same time that show that I do think of the birthday party as a special event (i.e., I didn't just wear what I'd wear sitting around the house or going to the park).  This is one of the outfits I came up with, worn to a b-day party at "Pretend City" this weekend.

Remember when puff-sleeves were in a few years ago?  I got rid of most of the tops I bought during that trend, but this one was a bit more subtle on the "puff," and super cute otherwise, so I kept it.

(crop pants: White house black market - I liked these so much that I bought 2 pairs of black and 1 pair of navy as soon as I found them - they work well with flats for casual wear or with heels for evening, sweater: Kensie, from a few years ago (a "Young Contemporary" brand, it's often available in nicer juniors sections, like Macy's or Nordstrom's), shoes: Nicole Miller.  And of course, I carried my 5-zip, since I can wear it cross-body and thus hands-free when chasing after a child)
