All three of my girls have style.
When my oldest was 2 years old she felt compelled to wear shorts all the time. This was in spite of the fact that it was the middle of winter and we had a foot of snow on the ground. I will admit that the battle that developed became one of epic proportions until I realized that letting her wear short in the house while we were at home was no big deal. She agreed to wear pants when we left the house.
A few years later she banned all dresses from her wardrobe and this lasted until about 3 years ago. I knew she was head over heels in love when she wore a dress on a date not to long ago. I guess these things come around in their own time.
My daughter Emily took things to a whole new level. Fairy wings and a mermaid costume were her daily choice for fashion. Once in a while she even added a tutu that she wore on her head to make herself look like a flower. Since I happen to be a person that doesn't like to attract a lot of attention, this was definitely a challenge for me in the grocery store.
These days Emily is making almost all of her clothes by hand and her sense of style is just amazing. You will find her wearing a tutu occasionally, but not on her head. Now she wears them under skirts, where they belong.
Aubry is kind of a mix between my two older girls. Princess dresses one day, chucks and a skirt the next. She is lucky in the sense that I don't really care anymore about how she dresses. If a snow storm calls for shorts, why not simply add tights underneath? Mismatched clothes? You bet!
You only live once.
My style is less noticeable, but I do wear pink shoes on most days. It's called "girl style".
I learned it from my girls.
