Dress Your Best?

Today is "Dress Your Best Day" at M's school. Everyday this week has a theme: Monday was "Mismatch Day"; Tuesday was "Hat and Shades Day"; and today, "Dress Your Best".

M selected her outfit herself and - I hate to say this - but it's more mismatched than what she wore Monday for "Mismatch Day". Granted she is wearing a skirt and tights, but the tights have a very busy pattern, the skirt has a different pattern, and her shirt has an even different pattern. Her clothing selection prompted this e-mail exchange between Mom and Dad.

Dad: I get a kick out of her choice of clothes. If she can wear that outfit proudly on "dress your best" day - more power to her. Perhaps it's a sign she will grow up to be a brave, independent thinker - unafraid of her peers' opinions of her. Either that or she will grow up a fashion nerd.

Mom: she's more mismatched today than she was on mismatch day, but more power to her! I think dress your best meant primarily a skirt....
