What not to wear.
I discovered a very disturbing thing recently.
The girls seem to be wanting to dress and look like me.
It started with the mommy pony tail that Miranda requested. I though the label of mommy was a more generic mommy rather than Rachel mommy.
Then I noticed Elizabeth wanted to wear sunglasses on top of her head even when it wasn't sunny outside. Again I didn't really think much of it.
Then I remembered that they both despise skirts and dresses. I figured this was some genetic thing, but didn't actually realize that the girls have probably never seen me in either.
And then today, after Miranda requested "wearing clothes" to bed (for the 4th time in a row), I asked her, "Why do you like wearing clothes to bed?" She said, "I want to be like a mommy. You wear clothes, so I want to wear clothes."
I don't mind the fact that they want to be like me. I just worry about my complete lack of fashion sense, taste, style, awareness of trends or anything else that has to do with looks. Poor girls.
Thank god they have Susan in their lives otherwise, they would be wearing a short black cocktail dress at their wedding.

My style is pretty much like your style but their is some gene in my girls that make them want to dress all girlie...lately Sam wants to wear the twins clothes because they are tight and show her belly... no way is she stepping foot out the door looking all trashy like that! I would give anything if my kids would wear shorts and t's but all they want to wear are dresses...
