Fashion do's

This is the only jacket Lyla will wear, so therefore we need a new jacket since really it's more of a sweatshirt. The problem is that she's becoming very particular about clothing, not unlike her mother.

The number one fashion must in any jacket is pockets. Perhaps Julie feels the same way; you'd have to ask her. But now that Lyla has discovered the existence of pockets, her one pocketless jacket is as offensive as spitting in public or the Yankees.

And a zipper. She has a lovely vest with buttons, and her last vest-related interaction was this: "No vest! Dat-et! Zip-up!" Then she threw herself on the ground.

So we're on the lookout for a winter coat with pockets and a zipper. And probably it will need to be pink. And have a cookie in one of the pockets. And a monkey in the other one.
