Most of the time getting Caitlin dressed is the biggest fight of the day. Girlfriend has her own style. At a week shy of 5 years old, she could in fact be the next Rachel Zoe. I say that because she mixes prints like you see pinned on Pinterest. She wears the oddest color combos, and yet pulls them off gloriously. It's not uncommon to see her in a tutu and halter top, which by the way, why are we making halter tops in 5T?
Anyway, Father's Day was no exception. Let me start by saying that it was 109 degrees on Sunday. One. Oh. Nine. So right off the bat, I was pushing for a nice sundress, one of four hanging in her closet. I was also pushing for it to be a fairly new one, since lately she wants to wear the ratty one, since the other nice ones are for "later". "Later" is used quite loosely. Since we were going to be swimming most of the day anyway, I just nodded in agreement to her fashion choices. Here is what she picked out.
B&W Stripped Leggings - Target (part of a set)
Zebra Tank - Forever 21 (I'm in awe of the kids dept)
Red Butterfly Hat - Vendor at the Fresno Home & Garden Show
Purple Flippies - Old Navy (and too small)
Capri Sun - Vons
I've been told by a dearest Mommy friend, who has a 5 year old fashionista that this is normal behavior for a 5 year old. However, we've been having this convo since the girls were 4. I'm still adjusting to this kid, my kid, who is a super fashionista since I could not pay the girl to wear a dress the first 3 years of her life. Sandals either. Girlie wore Vans and leggings to pretty much everything. Yet, now she tells me that when she grows up she wants to be the "Fashion outfit picker". I told her that's called a "stylist", and so she now says she wants to be a "stylish".
