My little fashionista

Vivian loves to tell people that she is "fashiony" and she does, indeed, have pretty great style. She definitely has a passion for it and favors fashion over comfort. Exhibit A would be last Halloween when, despite freezing temperatures, she refused to put on a jacket or sweater because it would ruin her costume. We trick or treated until her lips turned blue and then went home. All the while I carried around her coat and sweater.

Since she was around 3 1/2, she has longed for glasses, braces and brown curly hair. Two out of three of those are hard to come by. But for about two months in the Red Room she frequently wore glasses everyday. The teachers let her keep them on all day because they said they really did not get in her way. However, when she decided to wear them to Trinity recently, I told her I did not think she would be allowed to keep them on. Imagine my surprise as I was conducting a tour and walked into the gym and saw her running around with the glasses still on. Apparently I was wrong. 

Leather skirt

Vivian and Stella just came down from the roof where they were playing for a bit. Viv was wearing a new leather skirt and cat sweater she bought with Grandma Helaine yesterday.

Vivian told me that Stella was playing with the hose but she told her she didn't want to get wet because "water doesn't go well with leather." I'm not sure how she knows these things. When I asked her how she knew that she told me that she just knows and it also doesn't go well with wool.
