"It's a Fashion Statement"

As I begin this project, It makes sense to ask the most honest and fashion-forward person I know, my five-year old daughter Ginny, for advice.  How do I find clothes that will make me happy?  I asked Ginny which of her outfits made her the happiest.  She said, "My green leaf outfit," which surprised me since she's been Lady In Pink since she was old enough to talk.  I asked why, and she said, "Because it's a fashion statement."

Oh, ok.  
​What does that mean?  "It's different," she explained, which made me feel bad about all those times I've gone wild stocking up on shades of pink teeshirts at Children's Place sales.  I got that leaf outfit rather by accident. I joined Fab Kids last Black Friday to get these amazing $9 pink sparkle boots, and I kept forgetting to skip my subscription.  I ended up needing to spend a lot of money at Fab Kids, and in an effort to clear out my account so I could cancel the subscription, I bought a bunch of stuff on a whim.  That leaf outfit was part of that order. 

My lesson of the day from Ginny?  Think outside the box.  Explore new places to find things that will make me happy.  Experiment.  Get excited about making a statement.  Hopefully, this project (and sharing it and getting suggestions-- hint, hint) will help me to do that. 

You can go anywhere in Ginny's leaf outfit!
