She is only 2 and she is already picking out her clothes, telling me that she doesn’t wear a specific dress because it is not pretty. These days, she picks her own bags and shoes too.
I know that I should let her develop her own dressing although i must say that the combinations are alittle ‘off’ sometimes. I get a little concern when she tells me she rather wears her brother’s clothes and that she prefers to wear pants.
So, i wonder if i go crazy if she picks something i don’t like. Will I let her step out the door wearing something I totally disapprove? These days, i try to influence her by telling her that the combo is not nice. Like how can you wear Bob the Builder socks with crocs and a pretty spaghetti strap floral dress? and no, you should not mix yellow with purple. and honey, yellow is not your colour.
Maybe I think that her dressing reflects on my own taste as well. I will only be deceiving myself to say i will let go and let her do her own thing. I will try to exert my influence or at least until she stops listening to me.
So now, to satisfy my little fashionista, i give her options. but i make sure that they are all approved options in the first place.
