God blessed me with two beautiful, amazing, funny daughters who couldn’t be any more different. Sydney who is now 11 hasn’t allowed me to dress her in anything “girlie” since the age of 5. She simply stomped her food down in the sand one day and hasn’t looked back. I applaud her sense of commitment…and am certain she would make a fantastic debater one day. Chelsea is now 9 and came out of the womb drawn to things that glitter. This girl loves accessories, bright colours and a bit of shine on her clothing.
Two children from the same parents…each with their own #SuperStyle! If there’s one thing I have learned it’s to embrace their individuality and get over it if my opinions don’t match theirs. They are learning who they are much faster than I ever did and I’m proud to be along for the ride to support them.

I let my daughter dress herself
My youngest would wear the weirdest combinations of clothes to school. Mismatched socks, plaids with dots, etc. I would just tell her what a great idea she had to wear what she had chosen. I never told her what she picked was a bad idea.
i try and let my daughter make decisions on her own
My granddaughter picks out what she want to wear daily. As long as it is purple or pink she is happy.
my niece dresses herself and everything has to match
Encourage their imagination!
I pull out some clothes for her and let her decide what outfit she wants to wear/put together for that day
my niece dresses herself
I let her choose and don’t battle over the little things.

I try to lead by example thinking outside the box and hope it fosters creativity in them.
One of my twin girls loves to wear pink and the other purple. I let them fly!
I let them pick their own clothes
Since they’ve been really little my daughters dress and make clothes for their dolls. I usually let them. :P
