Barrette Diva

Barrette Diva, also titled WHO IS THIS KID?!?

Yesterday it was blue jeans, today it's a barrette. I have no clue who this kid is. The Diva's hair is kept short for a reason. She HATES it to be messed with. No piggy tails, no ponies and for the love of all that is chocolate chip cookies, NO BARRETTES. You don't mess with the Diva's hair. She even gets pissy if you try to tuck her hair behind her ear. This morning she woke up with all her hair in her face and brushing it didn't help. I told her we would have to wet her hair down to fix it or (pause, wait for it) wear a barrette. SHE HAPPILY CHOSE THE BARRETTE. (Obviously I have issues with the caps lock button. SO SORRY.) It was still in her hair when I dropped her off at daycare. I'm all "Where did MAH BABY go?!"

(Wimper)

Shirt: Princess shirt from JcPenney

Shorts: I think JcPenney, but I bought it on clearance years ago and stashed it away. I think it had a matching shirt.

Shoes: The Target Dora wonders

Barrette: Plastic Green Butterfly, from CVS. I think. 

(MAH BABY!!!!!!)

A Momentous Diva Moment

I didn't think it was possible.

Behold!

The Diva is wearing BLUE JEANS. PANTS THAT TOUCH HER FEET! Sorry, couldn't control myself. The excitement kinda got to me. YOU KNOW HOW IT GOES.

Shirt: The infamous "Soccer shirt"

Pants: Mudd Jeans, hand me downs

Shoes: Dora, Target

Not pictured: In the pocket are 2 bracelets and a penny. Sing with me "I have a penny in my pocket (boom, boom, boom)"!

From earlier in the week:

Jacket: The favorite Arizona Jean Jacket

Shirt: Circo - it has some sweet lacing detail you can't see

Shorts: Circo, biker chick style

Socks: Animal the Muppet socks from the dollar bin at Target

Shoes: Those Dora favorites, from Target

Where the Diva Tries to Match

I was quite shocked when the Diva actually tried to match her clothes over the weekend, and for the most part, she was rather successful.

Saturday:

Dress: I think this is Kohl's Jumping Bean brand. My MIL then went and knitted/crocheted the bottom rainbow part and around the sleeves/neck. She is one talented lady. Knitting/crocheting is against my religious beliefs, and by against my religious beliefs, I mean I can't do it to save my soul. 

Shorts: Not pictured are black biker style shorts from JcPenney. 

Sunday:

My husband has dubbed this look "a barrage of geometry". Only slightly painful on the eyes, yet all the colors somehow match.

Shirt: Circo brand from Target

Leggings: Also Circo brand I believe, but I bought them on clearance a year or so ago.

Shoes: The Dora wonders from Target

Attitude: Helped by the cold she has. 

Today:

This morning didn't go too well. Someone (note: not me) was full of three year old attitude.

Shirt: Circo brand again, I believe. It's been enhanced by the MIL.

Shorts: Rocking the biker-Donna-from-90210 look again. They are another Circo item.

Socks: Elmo rainbow striped goodness from the dollar bin at Target. 

Not pictured: Huge bruise on knee from running into a bedroom door. Grace, she has it. 

The Diva Returns

(Sorry for the bad picture, it was sunny as all get out and Diva was too busy dancing and jumping to get a clear, solid picture.)

Shirt: "Not my first rodeo" shirt was a gift. I have no clue where it was purchased from.

Leggings: Baby Gap, clearance

Shoes: Dora slip-ons. It's what all the three year olds are wearing these days.

Jacket: Clearance Arizona Brand from JcPenney. "No snapping my jacket, Mommy." I assume it's because if I snapped the jacket she wouldn't be able to wear it like a cape. 

Not pictured: Animal (the Muppet. Ok, the BEST Muppet if you ask me.) socks from the Target dollar bin. 

Diva acting too much like a Diva

Alas, today I do not have a Diva of the day picture. I know, I know heartbreaking. Why, you ask? Because the Diva decided that she was not going to sleep last night. I finally gave up at 11pm and went to bed myself, informing her to stay in her own bed and please just be quiet. No more talking to your hands or having a party with your stuffed animals. Even teddy bear needed to go to effing sleep. Apparently all the stuffed animals had a major conference early this morning and needed their rest. They were all up in arms about poor turtle who busted open a seam and lost half of his stuffing. It was like an OSHA meeting, but for stuffed animals. I think the seminar was going to cover things like, "Quick, Hide From The Cat" and "Washing Machine Survival Techniques". Anyways, the Diva was quite grumpy this morning. I didn't want to risk the ultimate melt down by asking her to stand still for a picture. I think if she would have stood still she just might have fallen asleep. Oh well. Hopefully tomorrow is much more successful.

Diva Day Whatever Day It Is

I do believe that this is my favorite look so far. I don't know what her statement is, but whatever it is, she's rocking it like nobody's business. 

Shirt: This strawberry beauty is from Walmart that matches the pink and white striped shorts she wore last week. But if you haven't figured out by now, she is not a child who believes in "outfits that go together". It totally ruins her style mojo.

Leggings: From the ever stylish Old Navy.

Jacket: This jean jacket special was a clearance at JcPenney's

Shoes: Dora shoes from Target.

Sunglasses: The free 3D pair of glasses that the husband and son got from the Avengers movie on Sunday.

(Not pictured was a pink rubber "Silly Bandz" bracelet and striped purple socks. That fit her when she was a baby.)

Diva Weekend Recap

Saturday:

It was too cold to wear shorts. So, the Diva threw a major fit. I compromised and told her she could wear shorts if she wore leg warmers. And OBVIOUSLY she chose legwarmers that didn't match.

Shirt and shorts: Both from Walmart. (Might I add that my child is such a peanut that none of her pants stay up. 2 hours into the day and my kid looks like she's a pimp daddy mac hanging her pants down low.)

Legwarmers: From Etsy, bought years ago. LOVE them.

Attitude: All her own

Sunday:

Shirt: This whale of a beauty (snort, whale, get it?!) is Carter's from JcPenney's.

Leggings: Old Navy clearance special.

Shoes: Dora special from Target. Get them fast if you like them. They are selling like crazy. 

Rubber Blue bracelet: From her brother.

Today:

Shirt: Butterfly special from Walmart.

Leggings: Baby Gap.

Shoes: Dora Target Special. (Seriously, I had to go to 2 Targets to find her size.)
