Haley is starting to get into picking out her own clothes and telling me what she wants to wear. She will be six in February and really is becoming a big girl. As you can tell from the picture, she loves to look just right. Her hair can not be out of place. She loves having her hair braided or put up in a pony tail. She loves anything that is pink and with puffy sleeves. She calls puffy sleeves "Feathers." She is becoming more and more aware of what she likes and don't like. Let me tell you, she will let you know if she does not like something!
I have noticed that Haley is into the brighter colors. She wants to be noticed. The outfits have to have something girly. For instance, a butterfly or a flower. Haley also has to match. If she has blue on her shirt, she HAS to have blue on her pants. She also loves it when her finger nails and toe nails match her outfits.
I have also been letting her shop for herself. We have began the process of school shopping. She will be starting Kindergarten this year. This is a huge year for her! So, for this big occasion I have decided to let her pick out her own clothes for school...with my supervision.
So far she has picked pink sparkly shoes, blue, pink & green shirts. She has picked out shirts that have the big puffy sleeves. She wants to dress like a princess. It is really cute to see her personality start to show in her clothes. One of her favorite characters is Aeriel from the Little Mermaid. Anything that has to do with a mermaid she is down for. She also loves short pants and wearing sandals. Her shoes have to have color on them. If they are just a plain color, then she will not wear them. Haley loves it when I paint her toe nails a bright pink color. She is such a girly girl!
Her outfits have show that she is growing up and wanting to become independent. It has been hard on me as a mother to see my daughter grow and wanting to pick out her own clothes and develop her own sense of style. I am also excited to see how her style is going to change over the years. What will she like when she is 10? 13? 16? Having two little girls, I am in for it with clothes!
