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.
My name is Courtney and I'm a shopaholic.

That last one is just way toooooo classic: "I would wear this to church." Ha! You go, Miss M! Personally, my fave, of course, is the one with the red and pink (with the Dorothy slippers). I love her pose especially in that one...;)
What's the 80/20 rule?
80/20 rule says that you wear only 20% of your clothes 80% of the time. It's definitely true as far as my wardrobe is concerned.
Glad to see you posted again!! I've been missing updates!!!!
