Preppy Friday

finally!  my daughter lets me dress her without pink for today!  ive always wanted to dress her classy.  but being the kikay girl since birth, she wouldnt let up on going out of the house without atleast one pink item in her outfit.


and today, she didnt whimper or pout as i was dressing her in white and blue and grey.  so i just had to document this day when she goes to school being a Cutie Preppy!
