This girl may be the spitting image of Chris, but she's mini me. Her love for crafting, art, music and fashion are definitely me. I love that. When it comes to school work, she's also a mini-me: a free spirited day-dreamer.
I had just enough fabric left over from my
color-blocked shift dress that I thought I would make her a matching skirt. Then she suddenly grew too tall for the black shirt you see above.
Instead of giving it away or saving it for June, I repurposed it as the top of her new color-blocked dress. Now we really can be twins! Also, I don't have to keep nagging for her to pull up her skirt and down her shirt so that the two ends meet. The below-the-knee length on the dress will give her a lot of versatility. She's growing like a weed.
As it stands, this is her go-to Sunday dress along with a sea-foam sequin number I bought for my sister's wedding. Proud mama moment right there when I don't have to nag her to wear the things I've made for her. It certainly makes me want to do more (and more to come, her halloween costume this year is epic).
This girl cracks me up. She styled herself, put on the lipstick and mascara herself and begged me for the photo shoot. She got a bit sheepish when her friends were near the playground, she didn't want them to see her lipstick. It breaks my heart when I see the self-consciousness come to play. I hope she can hold off just a little longer before she cares what people think.
