The shirt with a bow

On Sunday, we pick out clothes for the entire week for the big kids. We have these cool cubbies in their closest that holds their outfits- socks and all. While we were doing this for this week, Isla announced that she would not be wearing any skirts or dresses this week. Coming from the girl who has worn 2, even 3 dresses/skirts at the same time, this is a big deal. Part of me was afraid that she was growing up and moving away from her extravagant style that we’ve all come to love (not to mention the unfortunate funeral we would have to have for 95% of her clothes) but it’s her choice so I sucked up my tears and said ok.

Well... that lasted one day (thank God!). On Tuesday morning, she decided that she wanted a shirt with a bow. It took awhile to figure out what she meant but we finally got there by taking her biggest shirt (this awful T from her school’s summer program), tying it in a knot and adding a headband. She didn’t think she had enough color so she went on a search for her most colorful bottoms which happens to be this skirt I just bought her and would not be thrilled to toss quite yet. She also picked out a huge bright bow which I took the liberty of adding to a side pony that I didn’t tell her about ;). Sorry, it’s blocked in the pic below by the fluff balls (?) on her head.

We got downstairs and she asked for a picture with her “headbones” and iPad- so weird but where do you draw the line with an outfit like this?!
