Toddler Girls Red Shoes

I bought my toddler this holiday dress for professional pictures. I was thinking white stockings and black shoes? But I am not sure. Or should I go with red shoes? or what do you think? Thanks for the input!

Google the dress as Ashley Ann Toddler Girl's Plaid Taffeta Dress with Shrug

red shoes and striped red and white stockings.

My sister watches twin 2 1/2 year old girls, they come in so dirty with clothes that dont fit. They are wearing 6 to 9 month dresses for shirts, all of their pants are too short sometimes they dont even wear shoes(the only "shoes" they have worn over are slippers that are about 4 sizes too big). My sister feels so bad she has already bought them a few outfits to wear when they are there so she can wash the clothes they came in. She already cut her rate almost in half, so she can't keep buying them things.
Does anyone know charities that give free clothing,used or not,I was thinking I could pass them off to the Mom as something a friend offered me? Yesterday one of the girls had on a full on "Santa" dress 6-9 mth as a shirt,red velvet, fur around neck,sleves and,bottom. We live in florida.
Any ideas would be helpful. These are beautiful little girls and they deserve more.
I have not seen the mom, but my sister says she is not any better. I belive that the uncle actually pays my sister, he is the one that contacted her.
The only thing I worry about with craigslist is that's where the uncle found my sister's daycare and I just worry that they may stumble across it and realize it is about them and be offended.
Their mother is 20 single, and has a job, I don't think she just dosen't care I think she is just overwhelemed and dosen't know what to do. I am 28 married with 1 child, I can't even imagine what she is going through.
!@#$%^&*()

Start calling local church charities. That's a place to start. Otherwise, you could always hit some of the thrift shops. Garage sales are a great way to get nice clothing for cheap as well. Try craigslist.com too.

This is something that needs to be addressed with the parents though. Inform them that the children need to be dressed appropriately everyday. Let them know that you understand about "hard times", but there are lots of people willing to help and they need to take advantage of that rather than allowing their children to not have the basic necessities..... like clothes that fit.

**I wouldn't worry about "offending" anyone. Since the uncle pays for the childcare, perhaps you should ask him if he's willing able to provide decent clothing. If not, then just inform him that you guys are willing to offer as much help as possible, but that includes using any and all sources.

I got myself a short bob cut with blunt line bangs for my old boyfriend from 2 and a half years ago and it will never grow back due to permanent hair loss according to my doctor. Any way despite how devastated I am about the hairstyle that I will be stuck with for the rest of my life I am constantly being mistaken for an 11 year old girl and I'm 21. One day I went to a conference at my university and I wore a thigh length dress, some toe shoes and a pretty red bow on my hair. And elderly man came to me with a Disney princess coloring book with crayons and asked me if I was with my mom. Its bad enough that I'm only 5 feet tall. Now I have to deal with this toddler haircut! I don't know what to do.
I just don't like the fact of having to put on a wig for the rest of my life.
Back when I was dating him he always told me I would look pretty with short hair so I got it cut. I realize now that it was a total mistake. Now I'll never have it long again.

Okay, i'm thirteen, but here's my book anyway! Please take a moment to review it!!! Here's a basic summary:
Charlotte had a feeling, but she ignored it. That was mistake number one. Oasis thought she could trust Maddy. That was mistake number two. These two twin sisters, along with their four best friends, are plunged into something they never even bargained for when their world spirals out of control. The world has heard of wars, and dreamt of supernaturals. But they never even considered the possibility of a shadow stealer. A soul stealer. Oh, how wrong they were.

Chapter one:
I’ve decided to write a diary. Or, more like a journal, I suppose. A record of everything that’s happened in the last two months, but I’ll tell you now, it hasn’t been a good experience.
So I guess I’ll start with introducing my friends – the people who’ve been with me from the start. Well, except for Luna, who came half way through all of this.
So, I’ll start with Oasis. She’s been my best friend forever, cos she’s my identical twin sister. She shares all of my features. My pale skin, my straight, fiery red hair, even my shoe size. The only difference is our eyes. While hers a both light green, I have different coloured eyes. One is the same green, but the other one’s blue.
Our parents own a small café down the road from where we lived – or, used to live. When we were born, our parents named us after relatives. Oasis got her name from our great grandmother, whereas I got my name, Charlotte, from our aunty-in-law, Charley.
Anyway, then there’s Lexi. She moved to our small town last year from somewhere in America. She’s really nice, but is mainly Oasis’s friend. She has long, dark, curly auburn hair that falls in ringlets down her back. Her mum and dad run a news agency in the middle of town.
Next is Mikala, Mikki for short. Her mum is great friends with my mum, and have been since they were both in school, so Mikki and I (and Oasis) have known each other since we were toddlers, when our mums re-united at one of those ‘Class of 1990 Reunion” things. Mikki has short curly blonde hair down to her shoulders. She had tanned skin, and a few freckles on her face.
Then there’s Scarlet, nicknamed Scar. She has dyed black hair, that falls to her waist. She always has it pulled up into a high pony tail. Her Mum works at the local real estate shop, while her Dad has a job as a family lawyer.
Last is Luna. She has dead straight blonde hair that falls down to her elbows. Pale skin brings out her many freckles, as well as her odd fashion sense. We only met her about a month ago, but it feels like we’ve known her all our lives. Luna’s Mum doesn’t work, but her Dad is a carpenter.
Okay, now I’ll tell our story. It all started when Oasis, Lexi and I went to the War Memorial just outside of town for a school excursion. We had just been looking around when we found a display that intrigued all of us. The mannequins looked so life like I felt I had to avoid looking into their stained glass eyes.
Our school, White Grove College, is an all girls’ school, and has frequent outings to ‘educational venues,’ such as the National Museum and Art Gallery. That day, however, the War Memorial had been chosen. So there we were, (Scarlet was home sick and Mikala had a singing eisteddfod) just gazing at all of the displays. The one that interested us, though, was one where five men were crouched behind a helicopter, aiming their rifles right at the middle of the room they were in.
“Those are seriously creepy!” Jennifer, a girl in my class from Thailand, with long black hair and glasses snickered.
“I’d have to agree there!” Oasis cringed.
“I think it’s really creative!” Lexi defended, and I murmured an agreement.
“Ah, I see you are interested in the Vietnam War display. Do you know how they made the people?” A voice from behind us questioned. I spun around, shocked, to find a middle aged lady with grey hair and freckles standing behind us. She was dressed in a black work suit: Black pencil skirt, high heels, white blouse and a nametag. So, naturally, we knew immediately that she worked there.
Oasis spoke first, “yes, actually, we are! What are they made of?” Her eyes narrowed on the lady’s nametag, “Sophia!” Then she smiled again.
“Yes, well, firstly, welcome to the War Memorial! I suppose you’re here with your school?” We nodded grimly. “Well then, let me tell you a bit about our displays!”
Sophia started walking towards a small television screen on the far wall, so we followed, standing around it where we could all see. On the screen flashed a black-and-white image of Vietnam during the war. All you could see was a seemingly endless battlefield, with camouflaged men placed at different places, once again aiming rifles and peering through holes in shrub and from behind trees.
One man, in particular, rang a bell in my mind. His facial features, the expression he wore, I knew I’d seen it before. Then it came to me, after I had racked

I don't usually like to comment on age, but you've done a good job here for someone so young. Usually the excerpts posted by young teens are riddled with grammatical errors, but this was pretty well written. I'll point out the mistakes a little later, but there weren't many.

So first of all I'll comment on the writing itself. I really liked the summary; it was attention grabbing, well written and sounded very interesting. My only worry concerns the number of characters. With the twins and their four friends, that makes six characters, plus any other minor parts you want to throw in. That's a lot of characters for a reader to take in, especially at the beginning of a story. If you're going to bring in a lot of characters, you need to make sure that each has her own mannerisms and characteristics (and not simply her appearance) that makes her stand out from all the others.

Okay, so that's my opinion on the summary. Now for the actual excerpt. I liked the informal style to your writing -- it did sound like it was written in a diary -- but I wasn't sure about the physical descriptions of all the characters at the beginning. It felt a lot like a character profile, where the author lists the information about the characters so that they don't have to do it later. But that's too easy. There's no satisfaction in being TOLD things about a character; the fun is in being SHOWN them. And that's where show, don't tell comes in, which I'll get to in a bit.

The description of the twins was well placed since they're, presumably, the main characters, and you're highlighting the fact that they're very similar, apart from the eye colour. That's fine. It's just their friends. We, the reader, don't know them yet so we're not that interested in how they look. Also, by commenting on the appearances of four girls, you overload the reader with information. I can't remember who's who yet, because it felt like the information was almost shoved down my throat. My advice would be to cut out the physical descriptions of their four friends and leave that part until later. If Luna doesn't come into the story until later, don't talk about her yet either; leave her a mystery.

So, 'show, don't tell'. What is it? I'll explain using an example:
Telling: She had curly, chocolate brown hair.
Showing: As she tucked a stray curl behind her ear, sunlight reflected off her hair, making its usual chocolate brown lustre seem auburn.
All right, that's not a very good example, but it's the only thing my caffeine deprived brain can come up with at the moment. Note the difference between the two. The first simply states to the reader the type of hair the character has, taking the reader's attention away from the narrative, whereas the second integrates the description into the narrative, so that it's tied up with the character's actions. See more about 'show, not tell' here: http://foremostpress.com/authors/article s/show_not_tell.html

As I've said, the description of the twins is fine; it's just the description of their friends that I think needs to be changed. If you integrate the description of the friends into the narrative when they appear then it's easier for the reader to take in. Also, if you describe the character while they're there, speaking or being active in some way, the reader can associate the description with the character, instead of the two being detached, as they are at the moment.

So that's the appearances out of the way. Now for surplus details. Is every single bit of information you gave about the characters at the start vital to the storyline? Is it essential that the reader knows that Oasis and Charlotte were named after family members? And if it is, is it essential for them to know that right at the start? Is it crucial to the development of the story that the reader know that Lexi's mum and dad run a news agency in the middle of town?

The first few paragraphs must hook a reader. If you simply reel off details then they get bored. Therefore, my advice is to dispense with the character-profile-like descriptions of the four friends at the start and integrate only the most important details into the story later.

Proofread/sentence review:
~'But they never even considered the possibility of a shadow stealer. A soul stealer. Oh, how wrong they were.' << While this isn't grammatically incorrect, I think it could do with some rephrasing. You say that the world hadn't considered the possibility of a shadow stealer and then that they were wrong, which implies they were wrong about the shadow stealer... and yet they've never even considered it? How can they be wrong about something they've never even thought of? Maybe they were wrong not to consider it? If so, the sentences should be: 'But they never even considered the possibility of a shadow stealer. A soul stealer. Oh, how wrong they were not to.' Or maybe you meant: 'But they never believed in the existence of a shadow stealer. A soul stealer. Oh, how wrong they were.'
~'While hers a both light green, I have different coloured eyes.' << This should be: 'While hers ARE both light green, I have different coloured eyes.'
~'Her mum is great friends with my mum, and have been since they were both in school, so Mikki and I (and Oasis) have known each other since we were toddlers, when our mums re-united at one of those ‘Class of 1990 Reunion” things.' << You have an apostrophe at the start of 'Class of 1990 Reunion' and a speech mark at the end. Have either two apostrophes or two speech marks; not one of each.
~'She had tanned skin, and a few freckles on her face.' << Beware: tense change! All your other descriptions are in present tense, but this is in past tense. It should be: 'She HAS tanned skin, and a few freckles on her face.' if you want it in present tense.
~'Oasis spoke first, “yes, actually, we are! What are they made of?” Her eyes narrowed on the lady’s nametag, “Sophia!”' << This should be: 'Oasis spoke first. (full stop) “Yes, (capital letter) actually, we are! What are they made of?” Her eyes narrowed on the lady’s nametag. (full stop) “Sophia!”'
~'All you could see was a seemingly endless battlefield, with camouflaged men placed at different places, once again aiming rifles and peering through holes in shrub and from behind trees.' << I'm a stickler for repetition. You say: 'placed at different places', so I'd suggest: 'positioned at different places' instead to avoid repeating 'place'.

Well, that's all I spotted. I hope this helps you! Good luck with your writing :)
