Between my husband and my kids, I am amazed that I even go out in public with them.    My husband has no idea what matches.  Some days he comes home from work, and I cringe when I see what he was wearing.  Unfortunately, Madison (my 4 year old) takes after him.  If you don’t believe me, look at the picture to the left.  Granted, I have seen worse (I just don’t have any pictures.  LOL)  I am not sure when yellow matched with purple.  You can’t tell, but her socks are pulled up as high as they go.  She also put dress shoes on!  Needless to say, I did not take her out in public that day.  I never make her change when she mismatches her clothes — we just don’t go anywhere that day.

I’ll be honest — I am afraid of her getting Barbies or one of those Polly Pocket sets just because of her fashion sense.  If she dresses herself like this, how is she going to dress her dolls or would she just leave them naked all the time?  Then again, it may be pretty humorous.  Do you have any pictures of your children with mismatched outfits?  Do you let them wear them or do you make them change?  Any advice for me?

Got this in an email. These Barbies would be best sellers. My personal favorite is #9.

1. Bifocals Barbie. Comes with her own set of blended lens fashion frames in six wild colors (half-frames too!), neck chain, and large-print editions of Vogue and Martha Stewart Living.

2. Hot Flash Barbie. Press Barbie’s bellybutton and watch her face turn beet red while tiny drops of perspiration appear on her forehead. Comes with handheld fan and tiny tissues.

3. Facial Hair Barbie. As Barbie’s hormone levels shift, see her whiskers grow. Available with teensy tweezers and magnifying mirror.

4. Flabby Arms Barbie. Hide Barbie’s droopy triceps with these new,roomier-sleeved gowns. Good news on the tummy front, two MuMus with tummy-support panels are included.

5. Bunion Barbie. Years of disco dancing in stiletto heels have definitely taken their toll on Barbie’s dainty arched feet. Soothe her sores with the pumice stone and plasters, then slip on soft terry mules.

6. No-More-Wrinkles Barbie. Erase those pesky crow’s-feet and lip lines with a tube of Skin Sparkle-Spackle, from Barbie’s own line of exclusive age-blasting cosmetics.

7. Soccer Mom Barbie. All that experience as a cheerleader is really paying off as Barbie dusts off her old high school megaphone to root for Babs and Ken, Jr.. Comes with minivan in robin-egg blue or white and cooler filled with doughnut holes and fruit punch.

8. Mid-life Crisis Barbie. It’s time to ditch Ken. Barbie needs a change, and Alonzo (her personal trainer) is just what the doctor ordered, along with Prozac. They’re hopping in her new red Miata and heading for the Napa Valley to! open a B&B. Includes a real tape of “Breaking Up Is Hard to Do.”

9. Divorced Barbie. Sells for$ 199.99. Comes with Ken’s house, Ken’s car, and Ken’s boat.

10. Recovery Barbie. Too many parties have finally caught up with the ultimate party girl. Now she does Twelve Steps instead of dance steps. Clean and sober, she’s going to meetings religiously.. Comes with a little copy of The Big Book and a six-pack of Diet Coke.

11. Post-Menopausal Barbie. This Barbie wets her pants when she sneezes, forgets where she puts things, and cries a lot. She is sick and tired of Ken sitting on the couch watching the tube, clicking through the channels. Comes with Depends and Kleenex. As a bonus this year, the book “Getting
In Touch with Your Inner Self” is included.
