Michelle My Belle

 We love our Michelle.  I've been meaning to write a post about her here for a while.  For the past year she has been a cat.  As you can tell, the cat costume (that is a 2T) is getting a little small.  She actually had two that were the same size.  She loves that costume and has worn it all over, to preschool, to the grocery store, to the library.  However, it's time to say goodbye.  I actually tried to make a pillow pet out of one of the costumes for her birthday ( I wanted to save the other one for Kate) but maybe it's just time to get rid of them both. 
 Fierce Michelle the king of the cats. 
 Michelle also loves to wear all sorts of non traditional outfits.  Here she is on the first day of preschool sporting pink cowboy boots and shorts.  She called herself "pink cowboy/black shorts cat".  Her other favorite was a pair of rainbow striped pants.  Mistakely last week I decided to take her shopping to find some new clothes that both of us could agree on that 1. matched and 2. looked nice.  We came back with a pink zebra shirt and black and white zebra pants, and a cheetah shirt with black pants.  Wow, that was kind of a backfire, at least the 2nd outfit matches.  Those outfits were a compromise, For some reason she is really drawn to bright colors, rainbows, and animal prints.  And of course, never a dress.

Despite her crazy dress choices, we sure love Michelle.  She's a lot of fun and has lots of good friends.

Girls and their opinions! I have a cousin - model, gorgeous, total city girl, she will walk around san Fran dressed in what could only be described as a leotard - leapord print, with tights/leggings, a furry coat and a tiara. She was not in costume. Best of luck in Michelle's future...

Kelly that is not encouraging! Good luck with your girls! So far they seem to be bowing to your fashion wishes..
