Mismatched outfits . . .Oh my!

Sunday, September 21st, 2008

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?
