I would never proclaim to be particularly fashionable. Vogue magazine bores me to tears, Project Runway doesn’t appeal to me at all and despite never actually doing yoga, I pretty much live in black yoga pants and t-shirts. So, I realize I am not one to judge someone else’s fashion sense. However…
Lily has developed quite a sense of style lately, and despite not following the latest trends, I can at least appreciate a decent sense of style. And hers? It just ain’t a good one.
In theory, I love the idea of letting children pick out their own outfits and develop their own unique look. It’s so adorable to see kids marching around in quirky little ensembles like these:
Unfortunately, Lily’s outfits look nothing like that. They are always mismatched, usually ill-fitting and never seasonably appropriate. And she is adamant about wearing them.
Worst of all? I actually let her leave the house like that. At least on the days when I take her to school in what I slept in the night before. It’s only fair.

Ohmigod, if that is bad, you should see Miss D.–I think your daughter looks completely wonderful? MY kid tries to wear mini-skirts in November and has no understanding WHY a Superman T shirt+ Pink Tutu does not = outfit for school….

Definitely a pick-your-battles (or don’t) situation. She looks kinda fabulous, anyway.
I’m way lazy. My kid doesn’t care what he wears, and I still barely get him out the door in something presentable each day.

Oh my gosh, I could have written this post. My daughter is 5 and is quite the fashionista too. Unfortunately, for her, I’m not anywhere as cool as you and make her where my choices when she goes to school. But, I am nice enough to let her choose when we are locked in the house!!

I see the art behind her choice – a flowing pink theme, like spring breaking through winter. It’s amazing! She’ll be the next Stella McCartney! hehe

Hee Hee Hee… My daughter loves to color coordinate her outfits. And by color coordinate, I mean, wear a turquoise skirt, turquoise shirt, and turquoise socks. And turquoise barrettes. And if we’re not going for photographs or to church, I usually just let it go. I like to save my arguing for when I REALLY need her to look decent.
Makes me wonder about some of my OWN clothing choices as a kid.
