Emerson gets dressed

One of my favorite things about small children is the day they develop an interest in dressing themselves. It's one of our earliest forms of expression, and oh, so precious—sometimes hilarious, sometimes shocking, but always interesting! I never thought Emerson would develop a love of clothing or her own signature style until she was a bit older, but she has been into the clothes for a few months now. And she has recently begun walking around the house in my clothes. She comes up with a way to "wear" each article and then stops every few minutes to adjust the way she's wearing it. Her creations are so creative! And tell me you don't agree that she is flat out posing in each "look!" She seems to think she's on the runway without even knowing what one is….

Pajama pants as a shawl...

Or a scarf and bonnet duo...

Camisole necklace...

Camisole wig or headscarf...

I also like to accessorize with mommy's sunglasses...

 I can't wait to see what kind of getups she wants to wear to school someday...
