January Girl. Here Muñequita is a big girl of one year, and she still fits this coat which you saw her wearing in her February 2015 calendar when she was eight months old.
Muñequita lives in Tallahassee, Florida. 2015-16 has been her first year here so she wants to share her view of a North Florida winter from a sartorial perspective. Therefore, we present a fashion montage of Muñequita’s seasonal outfits worn about town (both riding in her Snoozer Car Seat and on walks) from January through March, 2016.
January saw Muñequita expanding her collection of warm coats and hoodies.
Muñequita got this coat new for the 2016 season, even though she wasn’t sure a Tallahassee winter would be cold enough to need it… but tiny puppies get chilly very easily and turns out it was a good thing because there are brisk January days even in North Florida. She found plenty of use for her new red coat.
January Bunny. Muñequita purchased this new hoodie along with the red coat.
Whoops, paparazzi busted the Queen of Air and Darkness riding around in a blue bunny hoodie… heads are going to roll for letting this one out!
As February rolled in, you can see Muñequita testing the warmer weather with more springlike outfits like a swimmer tapping her toes into the water, then hopping backward into bundled warmth at an unexpected chill.
Bunny Patrol – out with the boys in her pink bunny hoodie-skirt. When Kit bundles her up for her morning bathroom run, he often chooses this one so she ends up wearing it for the day.
Still February. Different day, different harness, same skirted bunny hoodie picked out by Kit. The boys are bundled up as well in their fleece harness-jackets.
Valentines Day saw Muñequita’s road trip to Cassadaga, Florida. During the day, the sun was pleasantly warm though the air held a slight chill. The nights got quite cold. Although Muñequita’s breath puffed into dragon clouds on the rare evening, she never did see frost.
Getting ready for an outdoor evening photo shoot for PETS Creations. Both she and the boys wanted a jacket. The fountain is full of water but didn’t seem to be running for the winter months. Could the city actually be worried about pipes freezing or was there some other reason?
Muñequita wore her jeans jacket home over her outfit after the shoot too. This picture was actually taken for the blossoms you can see in the background, clustering on the branches and strewn upon the lush green February grass. According to statesymbolsusa.org “Florida was named Pascua Florida by explorer Ponce de Leon on Easter in 1513. Translation: means ‘Flowery Easter’ or ‘Flowering Easter’ (after Spain’s ‘Feast of the Flowers’ Easter celebration).” One can see why. There is always something blooming, even in December.
Told you the skirted bunny hoodie was Kit’s favorite! Yet another harness, yet another day.
It’s finally starting to warm up a little.
Sunny, warm February day and Muñequita is out and about in that aforementioned PETS Creations outfit.
Wrapping up February with a sleeveless little red frock by Max’s Closet. Preferring to order online, she seldom buys clothes off the rack but this one was on sale after Valentine’s Day for about $3 at Pet Supermarket.
March came ’round like a lamb, being Florida and all. You can see at the start of the month, she had a jacket but wore a summery sundress underneath and it just got warmer.
Muñequita has the same fleece harness jacket as the boys. It’s a Size 1 hand-me-down from Quixote’s puppy wardrobe, but at least he only went through two of the black-and-white harnesses… he wears a Size 3 and with his similarly-styled sailor harness he counted all the way up.
This is from the day of Muñequita’s Opposites photo shoot whilst waiting for Bella to arrive at the Dorothy B. Oven Park. This was actually a hot March day in Tallahassee reminiscent of early July in Ontario, Canada. Note that this fountain is merrily streaming.
This is Muñequita’s Saint Patrick’s Day dress, a summery Mr Michael confection all ruffles topped with a butterfly.
March ended rainy, in like a lamb and out like a lion as they say. Muñequita met the grey day with a vibrant splash of red.
Now it’s April and what is she wearing? You can always see her latest outfits in her blog! If you liked her seasonal montage, let her know in comments and Muñequita will post a Spring collage at the end of June, though she can tell you right now it’ll be a parade of summer dresses not much different weather-wise than she’ll wear through July and into September.
