My Little Fashionista

Addie definitely has her own unique sense of style. She's been getting dressed all by herself since she was about 18 months old, and for the last year she's been very passionate about picking out her own outfits every day. This passion soared to new heights this school year. When she started the morning preschool class (which starts at 7:45am), I started encouraging her to set out her clothes the night before for school days. Now it's something she does every single night. She lays out the pants, shirts (usually two, a long sleeve under a short sleeve), undies and socks right alongside her bed.

When she's feeling extra ambitious, she'll pick out an outfit for Emily, too.

On this particular night she was feeling extra extra ambitious and accessorized her outfit with a scarf, bracelet, and ring.

She's started doing her own hair, too. Not often, but when she does, it's so cute to watch her focusing in the mirror.

This was a super cute outfit day, accessorized with a tutu skirt. Please ignore the spaced out zombie looks on my big girls' faces. These are their tv-watching faces. Luckily, Elizabeth hasn't gotten glued yet, and here she's happily coloring while her sisters sit zombified.

At the end of November, I started taking Addie's picture daily to document all the cute styles she was putting together. I was planning to do it for a month and then do a collage of the pictures. It only lasted three days.

For Saint Nick's Day, all three girls got boots, and Addie fell in love with her cowboy boots and began wearing them every single day. She's been asking for "clompin'" boots since the summer, so I knew they'd be a hit.

Addie has been carrying her backpack around with her these days, as it's easier than the grocery cart for toting her stuff around. This is a frequent scene...the two items always on her side by side.

Here she is in her "teacher" pose. She's talking to her kids, Emily and Elizabeth. Note the cowboy boots with pajamas...another popular look these days.

The girls were showing off the chocolate that JoJo had left out for them this morning. On most mornings, this is how the girls look...Addie all dressed for the day (it's the FIRST thing she does when she gets out of bed) and Emily still in her pjs.

And finally, a Santa hat to top off the outfits. :)
