Oops. So it's a few days late. But this was too cute not to share.

Toddler Fashion Friday: Mommy's clothes

 So the other day Alivia decided she was going to wear some of my clothes. She found one of my shirts I hadn't put away yet and attempted putting it on. ... Over her own sweater hoodie. She has her head through the arm sleeve and her arm through the head opening. :-)

We were making fall decorations. Target has these for only $5.00! And it was super easy for Alivia and I to do together.

Toddler Fashion Friday: Mommy Picks

And sometimes I get to choose the outfit. Or rather...sometimes I insist on choosing one.

I love this sweater. I bought it last year at H&M. It's really light weight, actually we have to put a shirt under it because it's really breezy. The cute leggings have pink hearts on the knees and came from The Children's Place. 

Grandma Green bought the boots last year. I think they're from Sears?

Toddler Fashion Friday: Preparing for Fall...

Apparently she's already ready for Autumn...It's 88* out and she's dressing like it's 50*
Cute shorts/skirt are from grandma Green and the shirts actually from last year and it's getting too small.

Deep in thought

Toddler Fashion Friday: Undie Hats

And then there are some days where we can't let her leave the house...

Toddler Fashion: Rainbow Broncos

Today she was sporting her love for the Denver Broncos...though we don't really watch football in our house ha. My mother bought her this shirt last season and she loves it. The leggings I got from a Birth Without Fear conference last weekend. And she chose a diaper cover for undies...that we did change before we left the house :)

I promise that's a baby DOLL with the bag on it's head!

Toddler Fashion: Christmas in July

I thought this was cute. Alivia likes choosing her own clothes. Actually, she's two...so that means she likes choosing EVERYTHING. And we feel it's important to let her decide certain things when it's appropriate. We'll give her options for food at times; "Do you want avocado or carrots for a snack?" "Which jammies do you want to wear tonight?" "Do you want to go to the library or the park this afternoon?" It lets her feel more in control, helps her with decision making and honestly helps stop tantrums. Besides, who wants to be told what to do all day every day without being asked for their input? No one.

Usually we choose her clothes together though it's not uncommon for her to want to pick it all on her own. And really why not? As long as it's weather appropriate and the clothes are clean and fit her I don't see any reason that I should stop her from picking her own clothes. Can it be embarrassing? Probably, but should that be the reason I impede her own style? I don't think so. :-) And I really don't care what other people think. I'd rather help instill a healthy sense of self in my daughter than a fear of what someone else might think of her.

So that being said (and hopping off my soap box) I thought it would be fun to record some of these outfits she's picked. Because frankly I find it adorable!
