Have you ever bought an article of clothing or accessory for yourself because your toddler LOVED you in it? Perhaps the item was not entirely you, but the sparkle in your child's eyes or sweet song in her voice just melted away your own preference.
Well, I just purchased a top at a bargain that I thought looked great on me in the store. After trying it on again at home, I realized it did not flatter me as much as I'd thought. (How many times have we all experienced that strange phenomenon?!) I stood in the bathroom inspecting the less-than-ideal fit for my figure with my daughter watching nearby. I decided I should return it but then noticed my daughter's expression. Kind of like, "Wow, cool!" I asked if she liked it, to which she softly replied, "Uh-huh" and gently reached up to touch the ruffling along the neckline. It then occurred to me that it came in her two favorite colors, pink and purple. I don't think I have a pink and purple top, so she must enjoy seeing me in the colors. So... I guess I will be keeping it.
Here I am in my new pink and purple top. Flattering or not, I guess I'll be hanging it up in my closet.
