Ever since her 4th birthday, Miss Jane is all about picking out her own outfits.  If it’s a day when she has preschool, she insists on wearing her uniform all day.  Otherwise, she wants to put the outfit together all by herself.  Lately, she asks, “May I have privacy, please?” for the outfit selection process.  When she emerges fully dressed and coiffed, she likes to ask me to take a picture of the finished product.  Little brother Walt likes to join the photo shoot, too.  Here are a few of the wardrobe choices from last week:

I love the poses.

“It’s all blue, Mama!”  I think the Sofia the First Halloween costume amulet and Hello Kitty socks pull the look together.

Did you know this season is all about monochromatic looks?  “It’s all black, Mama!  Walt, I’m wearing your Thomas hat!”

So, the rest of you parents, I have some questions for you just because I’m curious.  I’d love to know what limits you place on your kiddos’ wardrobe choices at this age.  Are your rules dependent on whether or not you’re leaving the house or have company that day?  Do you try to correct fashion faux pas?  When do you insist on a wardrobe change?  Are the kids allowed to go to the grocery store dressed as a fairy?  

We had a “leggings are not pants” lesson last week.  This raising girls stuff is going to be tricky in the clothing department, huh?  I loved school uniforms as a student, and I think I’ll love them even more as a parent.
