She's got her own special style.

About a week ago The Lil Miss came downstairs dressed in her usual shortish dress over pedal pusher style pants - this is pretty much what she would choose every day (or a long dress) if I did not subtly influence her into the more ordinary shorts and T's. And often the colours and patterns do not match in the traditional way  is slightly in the more bohemian style. Something like this:
Me: You look cute this morning.
She: Yeah, don't you know it's my own style.
Me: Really - you are so lucky to know what's your style. (wish I had that one sorted out in my  life)
She: Yes, I really feel lekker (great) in clothes that only I like.
Yesterday morning she was wearing pretty standard green cycling pants and top. I went upstairs to dress and as soon as I was came down, she went up again. It seems she felt the need to add to her ensemble. (a pink polka dot skirt with a net petticoat.)
I wonder where she gets her ideas from?
(I was wearing dark jeans with a green satin dress and chiffon wrap over.)

  1. I think that is fabulous. To be so young and knowing exactly how you want to dress. Fabulous. She sounds like my littlest - loves the dress over pants thing and the more tulle & fluff the better!

    Love your dress btw - where is it from?

  4. @Shayne, the dress is from Big blue but about 2 years ago. It's still my favorite shop.

    @Fairy girl - last year I had a post about her one morning in atypical outfit - everybody commented on her being a fashion designer - so who knows?

  6. She has a beautiful sense of what goes together and what works. That is amazing at her age. She will always feel totally comfortable in her own skin.
