The Bumpy Fashionista.
Many, many moons ago I wrote a blog post (the last blog post, actually, before the whole world changed for good) confessing my anti–fashionista status. Complete with embarrassing photo.
Not an awful lot has changed, really. I’m still a massive dag. I’m getting slighter better as I get older.
Kind of.
The Bump, however, has taken to dressing up with a totally different attitude to her mum. I’m not sure where she get hers fashion sense from… but it rocks.
Given the ‘choose your battles’ mentality that I employ most days, the Bump is now her own stylist, and picks her own clothes. Which leads to some absolutely glorious outfits. Friday’s choice, for school drop and daycare, was this stunning bridal ensemble.
Veil, party dress, gummies. As you do.
The Bump taken to raiding my wardrobe as well, of course. To her frustration there’s only two or three dresses that “spin properly, Mumma!!”. And she’s not allowed to wear my dresses out of the house, which causes many teary tantrums. (My pretty girl throws herself dramatically only the floor, only to bump her head in her melodrama. “Mummy!!” she screams, rubbing the rising swell of her eyebrow, “I have hurt my frown and I neeeeeeed it!!!”)
The Bump’s personal favorite.
This dress courtesy of one of the Bump’s many stylists, Tegan.
I’m not sure if she gets her fluffy, frilly pink girlishness as a result of having so few male influences, or if she’d inherently be this way anyway. I find myself encouraging it without really meaning to… feminism aside, she is just so damn cute.
But some days are better than others. Some days she’s beautiful, even color coordinated.
Some days she’s even color coordinated.
Other days… well. Other days, I guess she just takes more after me.
And other days… she takes after me.

So glad that she loves the dress. I saw a beautiful fluffy dress in my travels while finding your gifts and am kicking myself now that I didn’t get it. She would have adored it!
Yay! Glad you saw this Tegan
She adores it

So adorable! And I’m living this too. Something tells me our girls would get along fantastically. Or fight all the time over the princess clothes…
I can imagine all kinds of shrieking…

My mother in law made my daughter wonderfully twirly circle skirts, which have been worn to death. I’m working on making her some more, because every girl should have a skirt she can twirl.
“…because every girl should have a skirt she can twirl.”
Indeed
