Hope you have a wonderful day

What M Wore

So there are tons of blogs out there that do a regular WIW ("What I Wore") post. I won't be modeling any of my outfits anytime soon but Little Miss M has taken to assembling her own outfits as of late. While I'm not brave enough to send her to school in some of her ensembles, I do enjoy snapping a pic of some of her more, er, interesting outfits. Here are some from the archives. Most people include the brands of clothing they wear and/or where they bought said items. Perhaps this will be a regular feature here at PCP (great, the initials of my blog are also a drug).

I asked M to describe each outfit and her quotes are below each photo.

"Fancy. Beautiful. Because I think it's so great and beautiful."

shirt - Old Navy (garage sale)

leopard print skirt - The Children's Place (thrifted)

knee high socks - Target

slouchy boots - Ross

"She's so Fancy Nancy and lovely and pretty and beautiful, like a sunshine."

striped cardigan - Cherokee (thrifted)

tank top - Mossimo (thrifted)

red polka dot skirt - gift from her grandparents

red Dorothy shoes - Target

"I love these shoes and skirt."

pink cardigan - Circo (thrifted)

froggie tank top - Sonoma (thrifted)

skirt - Janie and Jack (JBF consignment sale)

knee socks - Target

red shoes - Target

"I would wear this to church."

embroidered hoodie - Old Navy (thrifted)

gray/pink leggings - Faded Glory (thrifted)

rainbow knee socks - (thrifted)

deck shoes - Faded Glory (thrifted)

It seems kind of silly for me to write where I bought her clothes since about 85% of her wardrobe is obtained at thrift stores and garage sales. I rarely pay more than $3 for any particular piece of clothing unless it is super stinking cute (not to be confused with super stinky!) and usually keep it to less than $1.50 an item. The sad thing is that because I feel like I'm getting such a great bargain I tend to buy too much stuff. The other day I counted the clothing hanging in her closet and there were 104 items. And there's still all the stuff in her dresser! I know I need to pare down. The whole 80/20 rule applies to 5-year-olds too. She has her favorite pieces of clothing that she would wear every week if they were clean. I guess that's one good thing about the abundance of clothing in our house...we can stretch laundry day waaaaay out.
