Truly Outrageous

When I picked up an outfit for Zoie to open and wear on her 5th birthday, I really just wanted something cheap (so I could justify buying her yet another gift) and something that my opinionated daughter would LOVE. When I saw this outfit, I begrudgingly knew that it was THE ONE.

It is pink.
It is Princess and the Frog.
To Zoie, that is like the perfect storm in fashion.

I was happy that it was so cheap, but a tunic? Leggings? And some other thing (scarf, belt, bandanna?) ??? It even has rhinestones across the neckline. It looked like something right out of my childhood in the 80's. I nearly died when I saw this thing:

Seriously? It reminds me of GEM! (The Barbie doll/ Rockstar, for those of you not in the know).

I realize that I am far from being on the cutting edge of fashion, but I am not about to send my daughter to school in a ROMPER.

As a side note: Zoie managed to make that funky little Princess and the Frog outfit stunning. (And I was secretly very relieved when she lost the accessory [scarf, belt, bandanna?]).

Another Post Script: I just re-read this post and I am noticing that I am basing my view of fashion on what is currently being carried by our local Walmart. :(
