Dressing children is usually not the man's domain, but it does happen on occasion. Now, my husband can dress himself with no problem and usually look very nice. There was that "lack-of-belt" occasion last year along with the "black-socks-instead-of-brown" incident. But those are mistakes anyone can make when getting dressed in the dark. That being said, Reed looks very nice when Wes dresses him, but his clothes are generally the same, just smaller and with silly characters on them. Mommy, on the other hand, has many more chances to make despicable fashion choices.

So, in an attempt to teach my dear husband the art of dressing a little girl, I came up with a challenge. He was given 1 item of clothing and was asked to put an outfit together around it.
Points system:
Points will be awarded as follows:
3 points - Wow! She looks awesome!
2 points - She looks pretty good
1 points - Can we change something here?
Not concerned
My prediction is a 28 with all 6 bonus points.
So here we go!
Challenge #1: Khaki dress
My choice: light pink onesie and off white bow
 |
| My choice |
SCORE: 3 points!
Challenge #2: orange bow
My choice: purple and orange jumper
 |
| My choice |
Daddy's choice:
SCORE: 2 points
Challenge #3: Navy babydoll shirt
My choice: white leggings and a hot pink bow
 |
| My choice |
SCORE: 2 points - not a dress, so it needs something more than just bloomers
Challenge #4: floral skirt
My choice: light purple onesie and dark purple bow
 |
| My choice |
SCORE: 3 points!
Challenge #5: Light blue onesie with neon orange and yellow print
My choice: neon orange pants and neon yellow headband with white bow that matches the small flower on the onesie
 |
| My choice |
Daddy's choice:
SCORE: 2 points - I would switch out the bow.
Challenge #6: these cute ruffled bloomers (this is the back to show the cuteness)
My choice: White onesie with hot pink flower and black bow
 |
| My choice |
SCORE: 3 points!
Challenge #7: teal bow
My choice: teal jumper
 |
| My choice |
SCORE: 1 point - his defiant choice
Challenge #8: light blue shorts
My choice: pink shirt and light blue bow
 |
| My choice |
SCORE: 2 points - These shades are just a little too off. But he did great matching the bow!
Challenge #9: light green babydoll shirt
My choice: floral pants (came with shirt) and yellow bow
 |
| My choice |
SCORE: 1 point - Yes, they are both floral, but the patterns are just too different. He got a great bow, though.
Challenge #10: kite onesie
My choice: teal pants and pink bow
Daddy's choice:
SCORE: 3 points!
Challenge SCORE: 22 points!
BONUS!
Sort the jammies!
1 point per successful match.
BONUS points: 6
Final SCORE: 28! Just as I predicted!
I think he half-enjoyed this challenge. In any case, he learned a few things (and so did I; he is pretty good at picking out clothes!). Does this mean he is going to be in charge of dressing Melanie?
What do you think?
Enjoy!
