‘Right, I’m off to the supermarket – who’s coming with me?’ I asked. ‘Meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!’ cried Lil Sis. ‘Me too!’ chimed Big Sis.
‘Well you’d better change out of your PJs, and get dressed then,’ I told Big Sis. ‘OK Mummy,’ she replied, rushing off.
This is how she came back.

Is it wrong that I’m thinking that the tape measure necklace is actually a bit of couture GENIUS?!
Also, if it makes you feel better, I took my little girl to Waitrose yesterday after she chose her own outfit and it consisted of a Liverpool FC t-shirt, a red and white striped Hello Kitty skirt, grey leggings, red Huggalugs with white spots and a pair of lambskin boots.
Love the accessorising going on here. Especially the ears. Very fashion forward!
Love the tape measure necklace.
That girl will go far. There’s a girl we pass on the way to nursery every morning who is always dressed as a fairy princess. Why not?
My daughter is about 3 months older than this and this photo is SO familiar! Except mine would be in wild and clashing shades of pink and purple (spots, stripes, flowers and sparkly bits. Possibly with an extra tutu on top, too.) But if you can’t dress like a fruit salad at age 4, then when can you?
I love her outfit. I think she could walk down a catwalk dressed like that with her head held high. 🙂
She has good taste – it’s not pink.
fab! x
Ha ha! Well my OH would approve – he’s a LFC fan!!! 😉
I thought the ears were a great touch too!! x
It’s very Spring/Summer 2012 😉
There’s a BOY at Big Sis’s playgroup who is always dressed as a fairy princess too! And he makes the group leader wear a wedding veil every day. It’s brilliant!! x
That is SO true. She might as well make the most of it while she can! x
She actually has a pair of plastic princess heels that would go perfectly on the catwalk… 😉
See, you’re looking on the bright side!!!! 😉
It is pretty impressive, even by her usual standards! x
mummy should have had an outfit to match!!
Aw bless she is so cute she could wear almost anything and get away with it. And you know, could be worse, she is appropriately covered for going out 🙂
LMAO this is brilliant – girl after my own heart! x
Not sure I see the problem. Been watching Trinny & Suzanna maybe?
I just love the facial expression! Oh and the tape measure, for randomness 🙂 Hope you had a fun trip!
Reminds me, my 3yo is obsessed with a stripy fleece onesey he outgrew a while back, he calls it his catsuit. He wanted to wear that the supermarket but I couldn’t let him…
Ha ha doncha just love em! This was like my daughter (who’s only 19 months old) a couple of weeks ago when we had to walk around with her wearing her swim nappy over the top of her leggings.
Lol! That is hilarious! x
