Outfit Extraordinaire, Not Expensive

If there's one more thing I'd like my little girl to know when she grows up (because I have tons to tell her, actually), that is, to be brand-unconscious when dressing up. I do not have anything against those who could spend a thousand bucks or more for a simple shirt; when in fact, you could buy one with the same quality at a more affordable price --- they could afford, they can't help it because they're rich. Well, if I have the means too, I'd love to see my very hyper preschooler donning her Gap leggings everyday at home so her legs are covered; that when she goes out, she can have Guess shorts for grocery-shopping. But mother, those leggings and shorts are enough for her month's food allowance. Gotta be wise. Or else, my husband's eyes would pop out from insanity.


Her outfit in the photo is special not because it's above her regular outfits for school, but because of how she got it. And doesn't she look so girly and pretty? ♥

  4. She's so cute. I agree with you sis, we need to be practical. At 5 years old, Henry now chooses his own clothes. One time, we were inside The Gap store, window shopping. Henry hurriedly went to the the kids section and picked out clothes to create an outfit. My golly gee! The whole ensemble that he picked out was already P3000. Buti na lang I convinced him na meron naman sa department store. So we went and found similar clothes which we bought for less that half the price from what he originally wanted.
