This is my granddaughter...
She is 3 and I'm sure, judging by this outfit & her personality in general, that she will have her own unique style. And I wouldn't have it any other way.
When her mom was a tween she had pink hair before pink was in style. She wanted her belly button pierced at 14. She was, and still is, a unique individual.
So, Princess Wild Thing will be a force to be reckoned with probably.
The Princess will be going to part-time Pre-school this year and I hope to make some of her dresses, altho' I may check out some thrift stores too for her. Right now her style consists of anything that twirls, preferably in pink or purple and extra points if it has a princess or fairy on it. I do try to stay away from character prints for her but that's just a personal preference - and her mom and dad don't mind such prints. But as a general rule, if it doesn't twirl she won't wear it. And she's not much for separate pieces - like skirts and tops. She'd rather have a full-fledged dress. And this is funny, but she also likes the little undies that I make her - sometimes the unders even match the dress. :) Best of all they don't give wedgies. lol. Luckily she will wear jeans or tights under a dress in winter.
She is also quite the girly-girl and loves to have her nails done.
I just hope that in the future her mommy will remember what she herself wanted as a kid and remember that hair regrows in it's normal color, and that even piercings can heal over. {We did make her wait until she was 18 for a tattoo tho'. lol}
While her clothing choices have been pretty consistent over her first 3 years her hairstyle hasn't. As soon as she had long enough hair to do so I put her in two piggy tails. So cute!! Am I the only one that waiting impatiently for their child or grandchild's hair to be long enough for piggies?? lol. Now she doesn't really want me to style her hair that way - but she pulls the hair clips out and as she is growing out her bang... well, we have to do something!
Either way she is just beyond fun and I look forward to more styling as she grows older and even more opinionated.
