Until first grade I also refused to wear pants and had quite the selection of dresses. My mother had a much similar rule in the fact that I could dress myself as long as it was sensible for the weather. I went to town with it. All sorts of crazy combinations, including a decision at four years old to stop matching my socks in the conventional way. The mismatched socks would, however, match the greater outfit. This is actually something I continue today it is often subtle but there. <br /><br />But the point I was getting to is the fact that my mother let me be an individual with my clothing choices which cultivated my originality and self confidence. My outfits were a point of pride and I eventually learned to match and found a unique sense of style that is my own. I gained a lot of confidence from the fact that my mother had enough confidence in me to let me choose. So keep it up! The outfits may be crazy but she will thank you for it later.Eriginalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17156322121562708724noreply@blogger.com
