We should really take fashion lessons from kids

I was looking at my 6 year old daughter the other day and pondering her outfit. She was wearing pink, purple, and black striped leggings,  hot pink tutu, an UGA shirt,  bunny slippers, and a red sequined headband.  Somehow, she looked so effortlessly pulled together. Is this what we call kindergarten chic? Imagine the looks you would get if you wore that out in public. That's right, Stacy and Clinton and the entire TLC crew would be trailing behind you  asking you if you were ready to go before the 360 mirror.

Or my 8 year old son who had on khaki shorts, frog rain boots, and his peace shirt in the yard . Why is it cute to wear ducks or frogs when you are a kid but people think you need medication if you wear them as an adult? I mean Hugh Hefner built an empire based on a "bunny" so if I feel like wearing a "Beary Happy" shirt, why shouldn't that be socially acceptable? Maybe you like ducks (and I don't mean a University of Oregon shirt) and feel quacky? I bet if Jennifer Aniston or someone from the Twilight series was photographed wearing frog boots the inventory would be depleted in under 24 hours.

We spend so much time deciding what makes us look taller, thinner, younger, curvier (I don't have that worry) or hip. But kids know they look cool wearing footed pajamas, cowboy boots, and a fireman's hat at Publix. Are they so much more confident? Or are we just soooooo worried what everyone else will think? I mean Baby Woo Woo looks very cute in his t-shirt that says "Mothers Lock Up Your Daughters" but he is 13 months old. Woo Woo also looked cute in his "Hello, My Name is Mr, Adorable" shirt. Guys try that when you are 25. Women would say your shirt should say "Hello, My Name is Mr. A.. followed by the double s.

And kids look cute with words written across the seat of their pants. Sadly, too many adults missed this memo because people frequently have "juicy" or 'VS" on their butt. I mean if you are going to have words on your butt, go for the gusto and have something like "booty" or "junk in the trunk" written on your seat. Run with it!

Until next time...
