Spring has arrived, fashion lovers! I have such a cute collection to share with you, a great giveaway fashion package, and I can’t wait to dish! OK, Sophie, Jasper, Anabelle and Albie just got a big boost to their spring wardrobe and guess where it came from? Petco! They are stylin’ with new spring fashion for your pup, and this fashionista is impressed. Who doesn’t love saving some dollars when you don’t have to settle? Read on for details on my great fashion wardrobe giveaway!
Take notes ladies and gents, because Petco has created looks for just about every occasion and they were very generous with Bark & Swagger, so there’s lots to share. And, I went a bit cuckoo with the camera, my babies looked so cute. There’s no time to waste, so here we go!
Spring’s pastel colors and floral blooms
The color palette for the floral dresses Sophie and Ani received were beautiful. Baby pinks and raspberries, azure and pale blues and soft yellow, all tied up with a pale blue, satin ribbon at the waist. I mixed Sophie’s with a pastel patchwork sun dress on Ani and I like the way this came out. What do you think?
Albie was very busy playing to the ladies in his light blue with white skulls button down short sleeve. The navy bowtie is attached and gives this piece a very debonair flair, made even more so by the straw topper he so nattily wore. I could swear I heard him mutter under his breath, “Who’s your daddy?” Funny thing is, he IS Ani’s daddy!
The label says spot clean the dresses and hand wash the light blue shirt, inside out.
Is your baby Bad to the Bone?
I don’t know about you, but I have at least one bad boy in the house. By bad, I mean mischievous and Jasper, my terrier terror, would definitely fall into that category. As Albie is getting more and more comfortable in a home environment, he has become the explorer. Albie is a man on a mission, ignoring all calls to action from his mom.
Jasper wore his Born To Be Bad black fleece like it was made for him. I love the gold studs on the lettering and the raw edges and exposed seams. Albie showed off in his grey waffle textured Skull and Bones muscle tee, also with gold studding across the neck and on some shirt detailing. The boy’s tee’s are hand wash, inside out, and lay flat to dry, but they’re a poly cotton and a 100% cotton, respectively, so if you’re comfortable machine washing in cold water and laying flat to dry, then do that.
Ani is a sweetie, but she went through a phase of being a mean girl. Get too close to mommy or her toy and watch out! She’s calming down as she, too, is acclimating to life in a household, and she looks so cute in Petco’s dramatic black, white and pink dress. I love the pairing of the striped bodice with the floral skirt. Very fashion forward!
Ani’s sharp outfit is a hand wash garment.
New Spring fashion for Fido take him from the playground to a lunch outing!
With the weather getting warmer, dining outdoors with our pups will once again become very attractive. I like to make sure my kids look nice when we go out, and these spring tee’s and polos are a great choice for the boys. They effortlessly take them from the playground to a lunch date. And, the sayings are a cute conversation piece: Mom’s Super Dude, Little Boss, Small But Mighty (I loved this one on Albie!), and the Bad To The Bone tee, mentioned above.
The 80’s are back and neon is in
Last year, it was the late 60’s/early 70’s which, with some looks, are still in style. This year, it’s the 80’s and neon is a big part. So, I was really excited that Petco had neon in their arsenal. Sophie got a precious neon peach dress that featured a tulle skirt, accented by glitter polka dots. A tiered flower feature on the shoulder with a chunky crystal center brought even more pizazz to this little number, which Sophie wore beautifully. This garment is a hand wash; lay flat to dry. We’re giving one away, with matching barrettes, so read on!
Ani weighed in with a matching peach neon hoodie with Seriously Cute on the back. Rocking that was a piece of cake for this little girl. A polka dot bow with crystal heart center adorned the back and I loved the matching trim. A harness hole makes this an easy choice on a nippy day, when going out for a walk. This is a spot clean only garment, but with its poly cotton blend, you could gently wet and clean the soiled part; just don’t get the ribbon wet.
While we’re on dots, this bright pink sun dress charms, and Sophie and Ani looked so sweet in their matching ones, don’t you think? It’s made from a soft and stretchy 95%/5% cotton spandex, just like your favorite tanks and tee’s. That means it will wear well, won’t lose its shape and is machine wash and dry.
Other garments in Petco’s spring selection we received but didn’t include here are, also, super cute. A collegiate, striped spring sweater in red/grey or navy/white; a rich red with white polka dots sundress; a sweet baby pink tee with crystals and tulle trim and a mint green sweatshirt with a madras collar and accents. But, what could you win? Read on!
Sometimes you have to go almost naked
For pooches who say, Heck, no! to clothes, this is a really cute look that says, “I’m stylish, too!” It’s easy peasy to put on and your baby will hardly know they’re wearing anything at all.
Where to get these adorable fashions?
