I was prepared to dress Rahel in her original Ethiopian dress after Lizette borrowed her school fashion earlier today. Before I could get Rahel dressed, Lizette indicated she wanted to try on Rahel's Ethiopian dress, "just for size," she said. After rolling my eyes at her and sighing, I permitted her to try it on.
Rahel's school fashion was indeed temporary for Lizette. She prefers the Ethiopian dress (which is actually a yellow body suit and crimson woven wrap skirt). Rahel was very sweet about sharing and said, "I don't mind. I like my school uniform better anyway."
I added a pair of tiny gold hoop earrings to complete Lizette's new, more permanent look.
Essentially Lizette is redressed in Heart 4 Hearts Rahel's original Ethiopian fashion (and loves it, too)! |

You can tell she feels a lot more comfortable in this outfit. It could be just getting out of those tight fitting shoes.
ReplyDeleteYes... nothing better than kicking off shoes, especially ill-fitted ones, and getting comfortable.

Like many girls, Lizette probably feels that her fashion sense is constrained when she has to wear a school uniform. We used to do all kinds of things to personalize our uniforms when I was in high school. I always wore a ribbon tie with my blouses. Other girls collected distinctive pins and wore them on their blazer lapels. Glad Lizette got a chance to express her true style!
ReplyDeleteLimbe Dolls - Children/people do love expressing their individuality, especially creative ones. I imagine Lizette (who appears to be an introverted thinker) enjoys being her own non-conforming self, which includes her unique earthy dress style.
