Last night before bathtime, Her Madness & I were discussing this outfit, and she told me it needed a shirt underneath it, because the bra straps were visible. I told her that was okay, she insisted it was most definitely not and the conversation quickly devolved into a three-year-old's dream of IS NOT, IS TOO, NUH-UH, YUH-HUH.
I told her that while I very much trust her eye most of the time ("Trust me," she said), sometimes we're going to disagree, and that's okay -- the most important thing is to let people wear what they want to wear (for the most part, obv if the child wants to go out in a blizzard wearing a tutu and bare legs, I'll nix that) and appreciate them for their creativity and willingness to have fun with their wardrobe.
This outfit looks a little shapeless in the pic; I wore a royal purple three-quarter-length sleeve light wrap all day in the office but it was just too warm on the train home for that accessory. 'Twas comfy the entire day and decent enough to fulfill my "office professional" needs.
