Letting My Daughter Find Her Style

03/15/17 | Fashion & Beauty

Disclosure: “This post is sponsored by Kohl’s. I was paid for this post and received the included Carter’s clothing as compensation.”

Some days I wonder how it is that this kid can grow so fast. One minute, I am shopping for clothes in December and the next it’s February and it seems like she has nothing to wear. NO.THING.

The Frog Princess has been fairly easy when it comes to clothing, though. I’ve never been one to give her too many choices. Couple that with her easy-going personality and we have ZERO issues getting dressed.

As she grows, she is showing more of her taste and comforts. When I shopped Kohl’s last spring, I was lamenting the thought of her soon being out of Carter’s clothing. Of course, that was before I realized that…HELLOOOO! Look at these bigger sizes AND these adorable alphets (Carter’s if you’re reading this, can we talk about creating a few of these pieces in Mami sizes?! Kthxbai).

Because she considers herself an artist, you can imagine that the Frog Princess has been developing certain tastes.

Look at my lil artist, y’all!!!! #ThugTears P.S. she’s never painted for “dase” at a time but Kudos to her for her confidence, eh?

She’s all about color! With trepidation in my heart, we shopped both online and in the store and…I let her pick her clothes!

She was excited to select her clothing. Also, is she lecturing me about the color yellow? I think so!

We want to be comfortable. And we want to be age appropriate. Can I say that again?! Age. Appropriate! Lounging at home, doing crafts, painting, watching a movie or out and about in the city playing to our heart’s content.

But seriously, can I get this alphet?! See also: I don’t know where she gets that sass from!

I think that not only did we find clothes that I love to put her in but she is finding her very own style and comfort which is super important to me.

Busting a move at the park. I cannot imagine where she gets these shenanigans from. Halp!

Oh yeah, that’s right. Shenanigans is part of the family business.

I love the Carter’s PJ’s!

For me, I like the options. I love that I can purchase a brand that we’ve loved since birth and that I can do it from the Kohl’s website or run over to the store for a shopping trip. This we love to do as part of a girl’s day where we have brunch at one of our favorite spots and hit up a park or two.

It’s a time for us to bond, for her to develop a sense of self and, with Carter’s, it means that I can rest easy knowing that she is selecting clothes that will fit beautifully and comfortably. Even if it’s just til her next growth spurt! (side note: when do they stop growing?!)

Oh and don’t miss this sale: from 3/17 through 4/2 get $10 off a $40 purchase with promo code KIDSALE10. I may or may not need to head back there. Don’t ask!

      Right? We got so fed up trying to find shorts. Shorts! Sheesh. I don’t have to worry about that when I grab some Carter’s shorts, though. Thank, GAWD.

  • When I learned about @openbookfoundation I was in awe! Their mission? To bridge the literacy gap amongst low-income elementary schools. To date, 200,000 books have been donated to elementary schools. 
When they pinged me about a giveaway of @michelleobama's book, I wasn't sure what I would do. Then, all of a sudden it hit me! Who is my favoritest teacher that continually amazes me?! So today, I'd like to say a great big thanks to the foundation for providing me with a gift card to be able to provide 5 copies of Becoming to the student library of @hustlesway. Kymberli, thank you for all you do. Your student library is just what the kids need and exactly what we need to see out in this world. You are changing lives and the impact on our future is apparent! Happy reading to your students! #BecauseofHer #MamiReads #TeachersRock #letsreads
  • Running around today taking care of errands and commitments. Of course, these days I go nowhere without my shawl (I think I forgot to mention that in the post that's up on the blog). Had to get some shades because this Florida sun was not playing well with my retinas. Sheesh!

Hope you're having a fabulous Saturday, friends! #IyawoChronicles #Mamihood #Whites
  • Celebratory ice cream for a long awaited dream come true. The gifts keep coming as does the gratitude. She gave me a fake smile because she was eyeballing my cone 😏. I love sharing my wins with her. She asks "how does it feel?" And some days I have no words but I keep talking about how unreal it seems, how smoothly everything has been, how grateful I am. Sharing in Black excellence, man. It's a beautiful thing. #staytuned #Mamihood #Disrupt #BlackGirlMagic
  • Here are some of the ecoutrements you might see me in these days. My manillas (bangles), my elekes & ide (religious beads - courtesy of the fabu beader @sainzcorey). I'm answering some questions on the blog about this topic today. #linkinbio #IyawoChronicles
  • There are intense negotiations currently taking place as someone attempts to regain control of her homework while someone else is refusing to move out of the way. I'm not sure how this will end, folks. I just heard the cat took control of the pencil too. #CatsofInstagram #ChichiMinervaRosario
  • These pets should have their own reality TV show. They are both old and set in their ways. And they make me giggle. #ChicoAlbusMendes #ChichiMinervaRosario #Puggle #InstaPets
