Today was the first day of school! The girls were so excited. Last night, they planned everything out. First Priority-WHAT TO WEAR?.... Typical girls. So Rachel came downstairs in a purple and black checkered LONG sleeve shirt with PURPLE and Black checkered leggings. She wore bracelets, necklaces and anklets all made from colorful paperclips. To match- BLACK converse shoes with colorful shoestrings! Unfortunately, my daughter will not be on the next Vogue cover. It was hard to not say anything but she wore it with confidence. She loved it and that's all that matters. This reminded me of when I was little and I wanted to buy jeans with holes in them or faded jeans. I can remember my parents saying "I'll put holes in your jeans if you like" or "just wash the jeans a few times and they'll be faded". Megan wore something more acceptable. Jean shorts and a cute top. PHEW!!! I knew the night before her plans to wear the Barney attire so I prepared myself for the stares that we would receive when going to the convocation this morning. But would you believe when we got to school today, there were other little girls dressed in converse shoes with paint splatterd on them and other girls wearing (not the barney get up) but just as hideous.
So it made me smile and almost laugh to myself to understand that I had no sense of fashion. At least not to my 8yr old. This story ends with a happy ending. When Rachel got in the car this afternoon, she said "everyone loved my outfit, they wouldn't stop telling me how cute I looked!!"
Sorry Friends, I didn't take any pics this morning. I'm trying to block it out of my memory.
