School Days: Fashion Edition

On days she's home all day there's less...style. If she wants to wear dress-up clothes or run around with food on her face for a bit, ah well. School days are different. Friday's ensemble consisted of her Star Wars shirt, a blue ruffle skirt and strappy brown sandals. If I went out the door even half as put together as she does I'd be doing well for myself. It's really important to her that things match and look feminine. She likes to think of anything with ruffles As a tu-tu. She's so concerned about clothes I have to get her settled with her breakfast (aka distracted) go into her room and pick out two choices of outfit and then let her choose from those. Otherwise, she changes her mind 10 times, there's fits and everyone's late. No good.

For hair I usually offer two choices within my hair abilities and go from there. Generally it's pony tail or braids or some variant of those. I call this look the "lazy Leia buns." I experiment when she's good and distracted, thank you Jake and the Neverland Pirates. She approved of it and I knew when they came loose she'd still have cute pigtails. Plus, note the hair bands and barrette match her outfit and each other.

As for today's look, see for yourself.

Ready for school! Even cute from the back. Rocking a regular high pony tail and a little pink bow.

Modeling on my mat. A little 70's in pattern, but very modern with a girlie ruffle. Colorful Dora sandals complete the look.

Sometimes accessories don't cooperate...

That's more like it! Have your people call my people.

High fashion is effortless for some people.

Ok, seriously mom let's roll!
