Coordinate patterns instead of colours

July 10, 2013 By Emily 15 Comments

Oh, wow. I never thought I’d enter the world of fashion blogging.

I ain’t no fashionista. Nuh-huh, no way. As long as things don’t clash, don’t look absolutely hideous, and are comfortable, they get my tick of approval.

But Ashleigh loves clothes. She chooses her outfit every day, a process that will often take as long as twenty hours minutes as she assesses all of the options and makes sure she has the right accessories in place.

She likes to match. Everything has to match. But it’s not the colours that have to match.

It’s the patterns.

If she wears something with stripes, then EVERYTHING has to have stripes.

Same goes for polka dots.

And same goes for anything displaying the logo of her favourite football team. She can’t just wear one or two items.

She has to wear them all. At once.

There’s even a Blues t-shirt under everything else Blues.


My little fashionista. I don’t know where you get it from, but man oh man, I love ya guts.


Does your child have a fashionistic streak? (And do you like the word fashionistic?)

Linking up with My Little Drummer Boys for Wordless Wednesday.

    My son insists on shorts even in winter and has done so since he could speak.

    What a little cutie! My eldest daughter had quite a dramatic flair and insisted on wearing a purple feather boa and fairy wings with every single outfit, while her younger sister favoured a combination of pink tutu and red gumboots. We got plenty of strange looks whenever we went out anywhere!

      Oh dear. I’m glad my little one can’t read yet or I’m sure she’d be asking for a purple feather boa and fairy wings!

    She is too cute! I have a fashionistic 😉 daughter too. She doesn’t worry about the fashion though. It’s colour for her. The pinker the better!

    So cute! One of my girls is obsessed with block colours. You can just wear a purple shirt, it has to be purple girt , shirts, shoes knickers and hair ties. We have lots of purple. And pink. And blue. And….

      She’s doing that too now! The patterns sometimes get a rest in favour of head to toe . It’s exhausting!
