you may have seen on instagram (@meglets) that i cleaned my closets out last week. i can't stop looking at my clean, color-coordinated closet now, and am so proud and happy that i actually got rid of enough stuff that i can move hangers around without wanting to punch someone in the face. we'll see how long that lasts (because the first thing i thought of was, "oh, now i have more room to shop!"), but for now, i am loving it.

as i was deciding what to keep, i was relying on the family to help me choose. eva and chris were in her room reading, and i would walk in wearing a dress i was unsure of....they each would give me a thumbs up, down, or the shaky hand if they were unsure. henry was the tie breaker if chris and eva disagreed.

anyhow, i realized that night that i really trust eva's opinion on fashion. she is only six, but she has a really good eye. she was honest about what she liked or disliked, and was even able to articulate why ("mama, i don't like the pattern of that dress, and it's too bunchy on top, so it looks too big on you.") one dress i tried on, she gave me an immediate thumbs down and just said, "you look fat". that one i did not appreciate and had to school her on how to be tactful. regardless of that little snafu, i was kind of a proud mama that night when i realized that i trust my six-year old daughter when it comes to my own fashion decisions. i know...it sounds superficial...but moms can be proud!!

happy monday!

two birds
