Adorning girls

[Kazzo]

My girls can pick whatever they want to wear, I just sometimes have to add something or take something else with me depending on the weather. I don't care how their choice works. While I do like to have a certian neatness about myself, I don't put a lot of energy into it. I don't wear makeup and on the few occasions I have put a bit on, DD1 has not noticed or shown any interest.

I love fashion. Not as in dressing in the same outfit as everyone else and trying to keep up with the latest 'style' but the costume aspect of it. Being able to be ghetto today and prissy princess tomorrow kinda thing.
So I love to dress my boys but as they get older they don't always play along and that's ok. DS2 likes to wear his wizard clothes to the shops and has been known to demand to wear a tie to school so I think he likes clothes too.

I like dressing DH too but thus far he has resisted my attempts to get him into a pale suit....

I love buying girly clothes for my girls, I enjoy it. Maybe it is superficial but meh I dont think Im hurting anyone, they need clothes and I like buying pretyy things when I get them clothes.

My girls have a mix of trackies and daggy cheapo tshirts and nice jeans/ tops/skirts that match. I will not buy my girls something that is pretty if I think it is going to be uncomfertable or that is going to limit what activities they can do (I dont get long dressesfor thid reason). Most days my girls pick their own clothes and while their idea of what goes well together generally does not match mine I let them go or it unless it is inappropriate to the weather. I also dont like them wearing their best clothes outside if they are painting or playing in the mud as they have plenty of other clothes to chose from.

I dont like kids wearing jewelery as I think a lot of the time therer are safety issues with necklaces etc getting caught or being a choking hazard but I do buy sparkly hair ties and my girls like these (possibly because I am setting an example of things that I Find nice)

I really dont spend much time on the girls hair though. I brush it and pull it back in a pony tail. I look at the hair styles on other children and I know there would be tears and tantrums from all of us if I tried to do anything like it!
