Fashionista

Last Saturday I took Sarah shopping for some new school clothes. She was so excited, this girl loves shopping! She likes to call herself a "Fashionista". I was excited because Brayden stayed home with Daddy, which makes it so much easier to focus on shopping. Cayla, her BFF, joined us for the day and even picked up a few things.

We had a GREAT day! I said a little prayer before the day started, patience and good deals, which we had both of. The first store we found 2 pairs of shoes for $10 each. I knew it was the start of a good day. Five stores and 5 hours later we had some cute outfits and were all exhausted.

I am learning to be patient in the shopping process. My little girl is no longer a little girl anymore and at 10 years old she has her own taste and style and wants to make some of her own choices. Here is where the learning comes in for me, learning when to let her make her own choices and learning when to say no. I know the learning and letting go is only at the beginning stages with my kids, but this particular day I think I did great.

These are some of the pictures from our day and some of the outfits my Fashionista picked out.
