because pants are for boyzez


Ada announced as she was getting dressed the other morning before Kinder that she will no longer wear pants because as she puts it 'pants are for boyzez'. The wee thing has never expressed the slightest interest in what she wears unless it's a costume (junior nerdburger). I've loved being able to dress her however I please and for the last four years there has not been so much as a murmur of mutiny, apparently the honeymoon is over.

So, given that pants are out of the equation and skirts and tights are in, I've been using it as an excuse to get in a bit of sewing time. Three skirts down and four more cut out and in various stages of completion. I've also started a couple of pinafores and a vest, very industrious yes? This should keep a particular pickle happy...I hope.

    Way too cute. I only wish they made those tights in all manner of colours and patterns for grown ups too!

    Pretty skirts.
    I was the opposite when I was little - I refused to wear skirts. I had to wear them all day at school (we had a uniform), so why should I have to wear them at home too? I didn't wear a skirt again until I was about 19!

    The 2 year old here keeps pulling summer elasticised skirts over anything. She is looking a little like a Bosnian orphan today but at least she is keeping the clothes on!You have inspired me to dig out some fabric and get skirty with it.

    and luckily skirts are the easiest thing ever! I've been mass producing those for Miss Two in my house.
