Sofia's style

Putting Sofia's clothes away after doing laundry today I realized, dang this girl has got a lot of clothes. I don't feel like I've purchased that much stuff for her to wear, but I must be wrong because she sure has a lot to choose from. Actually I've probably curbed my clothing purchases for her quite a bit because I've learned the hard way if she don't like it, she's not wearing it. But I can't pass up a great deal so if a see a bargain, I'll get it. 

Most days, Sofia picks out her own outfit. Even if she asks me to pick out her outfit, inevitably she's going to change at least one article from my selection. Those days are usually fine. But the days Sofia has 100% control are very hit or miss. Sometimes she picks a real winner. Sometimes, not so much. Although Dad and I have ultimate veto power (no you can not wear a tank top and shorts when it's 40 degrees outside, even if you are wearing snow boots) we don't want to stifle her creativity and put a bunch of pressure on "looking good" so we usually let her go with what she wants. Maybe me more than Dad.... 

So I thought it would be fun to occasionally highlight some of Sofia's outfits. I'd say her style is part bohemian, part fairy, part color-blind. This season's staples have been leggings and long sleeved tees with the occasional skirt thrown on top. We started out with a lot of blue, white, and red, but now it's morphed into teals and purples lately. 

Here's today's outfit, 100% picked out by Sofia. (And I'd log this one as a winner)




Dress: Hilo Hattie's (Hawaiian aloha-wear) 
Cardigan: Target
Shoes: Michael Kohrs (from Nordstrom Rack)
Tiara and Fairy Wand: model's own - but probably from the dollar section at Target



I hope you'll enjoy following along as I share some of Sofia's great fashion sense.
