Hello!  I'm Jessi from Sweetie Pie Bakery.  I'm sharing with you this twirly butterfly skirt today, but make sure to stop by my blog tomorrow to see the rest of Aeris's fourth birthday festivities!

I love Halloween, but more importantly, I love easy comfy costumes.  I think elaborate ones have a time and place in competitions and such, but for running around trick or treating, warmth and comfort is the way to go!  Plus, this costume can be worn year round!

Aeris turned four last month.  I can hardly believe it.  She still seems like a two year old to me…two going on 14 maybe…

For as long as I can remember, Aeris has loved butterflies.  So when it came time to plan her birthday, the theme was simple, a butterfly garden party.

I originally planned on making her an entire dress inspired by the monarch butterfly, but with the August temperatures soaring, and my time dwindling, I went with a skirt only.  Plus, a skirt is much more practical for a little girl to romp around the back yard in.

I think this skirt is also great for Halloween.  I love costumes like this for school especially.  With a black shirt and leggings, add some wings, you have a costume that your little one can put on themselves and be warm in for outdoor festivities.
