The patterns didn’t match. It was a long tunic shirt with a Mexican-style big flower print and a skirt made up of part blue jeans and part burgundy velvet. With red socks that she had to squish in between the piggy that went to market and the one that stayed home because she wore thong sandals. And that kind of “bag-lady” chic is pretty typical around here.

It is such a struggle on so many levels- aesthetics being one. I always feel pressure to have Kayli look cute since she stands out so anyway and it is one of her strengths. But self respect is important too isn’t it. I’ve been trying to do more like this for awhile- you’re right- it comes and goes.
