I should have known better than to think a child of mine would have any instinct at all for fashion. I am very picky about what I will wear, choosing mostly solid or muted colors to avoid clashing, and avoiding anything too trendy. I usually love what people give me, but I don't like buying anything that might look foolish or be too risky, or that I might inadvertently pair with something inappropriate. This means I tend not to replace my favorites too much. I will wear the same four t-shirts and same three pairs of pants until they wear out, and then it will take me months to find a suitable replacement.I have a closet full of clothes, I just can't seem to ever wear them.
My boys have definitely ideas about what they would like to wear. PJ's with boots. Shorts with sweaters. I tend to let them wear whatever they want, thinking that I really don't know much more about fashion than they do. And it makes getting dressed a lot easier, most of the time. Now that I have switched to summer clothes in the drawers, they insist on wearing shorts and flip flops even when it's barely fifty degrees out. And when it's eighty, I have to convince them that they do not need to wear the heavy winter coats I have yet to wash and put away.

Doesn't matter what they wear. And that includes the monkey suit with the feet cut off. They are (all three) totally adorable. Nicholas looks like such a big boy in this picture. Love the boots.
I have no clothes that fit, or almost none. Three pairs of trousers and a few tops. I guess i'm going for the minimalistic approach to clothes during my pregnancy.
(don't worry, i don't plan to stop wearing them altogether!)
