"But Mom," she said, "they both have pink on them."
I tried to tell her that the patterns didn't match.
"No, look," she said. "The pants have flowers. The shirt haves flowers. They totally do match."
I tried to tell her that her outfit looked "busy."
Blank stare.
I told her that if you have a lot of decoration on your shirt, it's good to have plain pants. Or if you have a lot of decoration on your pants, it's good to have a plain shirt.
She rolled her eyes and sighed, obviously weary of explaining things to me.
"Mom," she said. "This is fashion. You just don't know it."
So we clipped an orange and yellow and pink curly bow in her hair, rounded up her red plastic Lightning McQueen shoes, and off we went to school.

What a little fashion diva! C'mon sis, that is fashion you just don't know it. :-D
Love it, love her, love you!!
Yeah, you totally don't get fashion. Hahahaha! She is pulling that outfit OFF. (Beautiful photo, btw.)
She is right. Just like a super model, when you are that beautiful anything works. She is that beautiful.
Dont you just love kids? Mackenzee does this all the time. I love that you allowed her to school in her choice of clothing. I think it is tougher on the mom then the kids. You never know she may be a trend setter. You will have to keep your eye out at school
You know what? I bet that outfit (or one like it) is totally going to show up on Project Runway. Totally. I heart it so much. ;)
