When my daughter was a toddler, she only wanted to wear her older brother's clothes. We tried to "trick" her by buying her a pink flannel shirt, thinking it looked sort of tomboyish. She saw it and hollered "me hate pink".
I realized that it wasn't that she wanted to wear boy clothes, she just didn't want to wear her clothes because they were mostly pink!! She's 13 and still hates pink, flowers, and sparkles. But she loves girl clothes, thankfully.
Dawn, that gives me hope! I just have to get a clue and stop spending the money and then I won't be disappointed! With Elle, the more colorful, the better. Pink is fine, as long as there is green, red, navy and purple to go with it and complete the outfit. : )
Well, I agree with you, except I say put the pink on her while you can! She will soon enough develop her own ways.
My daughter's favorite colors when she was 3 were orange and yellow! And as a 12 year old girl, she hates glitter! What girl hates glitter? Well, my wonderfully unique girl, that's who.
As Popeye says, "I am what I am" Aren't we all...
BTW, your daughter sounds like my kind of girl!!
What aggravates me more than the clothes is that my daughter doesn't like any of the books I want her to like. Or any of the movies. She has her own ideas there, too.
My daughter does have a penchant for Mr. Darcy and swoons accordingly, so all is not lost.
Kristin, my niece was worse than you as a child. We have a picture of her not yet three years old when she got into her makeup bag. She already had the mascara in the general direction of her eyes and lipstick on her mouth, sort of. My sister seldom wears makeup, so we don't know where she got it from. My beautiful Mary Elizabeth is now 20 years old and never leaves the house without a full face of mineral make up and regularly scolds me for not keeping my eyebrows under better control. The pink did not turn her away, it just fed the beauty monster.
Like I said earlier, Kristin is the one called to witness to the fashion world.
I never wore pink. Ever. I am 19 and still have an aversion to it, although I will wear it once in a while. At first it was because I didn't think I had the right to act feminine because I was ugly. Then I just realized I could be feminine without wearing pink.
ROFLOL!! Poor Kristin! The irony of it, huh?
I bought four outfits for the princess today and only ONE of them was pink. Our favorite was a red and black lady bug type outfit with a matching black hat. LOL ADORABLE!!
I LOVE your picture, lol! That is SO cute! I just knew there was a little Ashley Stockingdale in you!
Sounds like you've got your hands full with your daughter, lol.
Great post Kristin! :) I had to chuckle at your daughter's choice of Payless over the other shoes (see how much I know about shoes, I can't even remember the name of the more expensive ones?) :) lol
Colleeen, if your granddaughter is anything like me, she'll detest anything her mother buys her to wear especially if it's frilly, pink and girlie. BUT!!! If GRANDMA buys it, now that's a different story! I wore anything my darling sweet gramma gave me and STILL DO! :)
Oh, How cute! I love this pic of you Kris.
I just think it's so funny how kids come out of the womb like they're going to be. You think, as a parent, you have some control in this, but more and more, I think, maybe not.
