We're TubaDad (laid-back taco-eating tuba-player from Texas) and M3 (excitable, artsy chocoholic from California). We adopted our beautiful twin girls from Hubei, China in Oct 2006 and this blog is about our lives with the twinados, Ro and Ree. Cheers!
It's Fashion Friday, time to see the fancy and fanciful outfits that the kiddos put together this week.
For the first outfit, Miss Ree was somewhat obsessed with multiple colors (as you'll hear several times on this video), and Miss Ro once again grabbed her favorite pink ruffly polka dot skirt (and then tried to claim that her head-to-toe-pink ensemble was also multicolored. Ahem.). Doesn't Ro's cool nonchalance—the little shrug with "Dass just a neckliss"—kill you?!
This second one I like to call "The Evolution of an Outfit." These three pictures took place over about 5 minutes, and are pretty typical of how the girls steadily modify their outfits as the day goes on. The changes continue all day long, and by the end of the day it's pretty rare for them to have on anything at all that they were wearing at the beginning of the day. (Do I even need to mention how pissy I get about the insane amount of laundry these two mites generate?)
All of Ro and Ree's past Fashion Friday outfits can be seen here.
Now it's your turn!
Share the grins and give us a link to an outfit that your kiddo put together! Fashion Friday is now a regular weekly feature, so grab your camera, turn those kids loose in the closet at least once a week, and show us what happened.

Heh! Oh, Das just a necklace! Your girlies are so very, very cute!! This is still such fun for us to watch but not for mamma and wela when it comes to laundry! Ugh!!
Hi! I just started reading your blog and I love it. Your girls are beautiful! And I love the idea of "Fashion Friday" - I can't wait until my little one is old enough to join in!
I say hang it up and wear it again. To heck with laundering things that have been worn for just a few hours (unless of course they are stained, sticky, or stinky).
Love the outfits! I ran across some photos of my twins when they were little in some "choice" outfits. I'll have to put them into one of my Flashback Friday posts one of these days and then I'll have you check it out. My favorite is how my one daughter always loved wearing fun hats.
I'm lovin the fashion show videos - really gives us a clearer picture of their adorable personalities. So cute, the 2 color choice of Ree's hair bows. Again, love the ruffled skirt Ro chose. (Dahlia would love it - I must show her when she gets home from school.)
But it's their adorable way of showing what they're wearing that gives me a big grin all day!
And about that laundry. It's the folding I can't stand. I'd rather scrub toilets.......almost!
Pamster I am totally with you on not washing something unless it's visibly dirty. Unfortunately not much that the girls wear stays clean... those two are just hell on clothes. ;-)
If I say it once, I say it 100x times per week, "No more laundry! You are not changing clothes one more time today!" I look down and my filthy clothes after finishing dinner dishes and wonder if maybe I could have used a few fashion changes myself!
Lori, I'm so glad I'm not the only one who says that!!! I swear these girls could go through the entire closet in one day if I'd let them. The other thing I say over and over and over is "Only one cup a day! Please reuse your cup!" because they like to get a new cup every single dang time they take a drink, and if I let them we'd end up running an entire dishwasher load of cups twice a day. Crazy isn't it?! The things I never thought I'd hear myself say...
Longtime lurker, since before referral day, but first-time commenter...Might a new rule be something like this? They can only choose new outfit pieces until the closet doors close. Once the doors are closed (by the laundry police), they are done adding flair, maybe an hour or two after dressing the first time?
They look downright adorable as usual, and those little voices...seriously cute. They're not babies anymore. ::sniff::
I feel your pain on the laundry! I had to limit Maddy to two wardrobe changes (not counting PJ's) per day.
But what do you do if only one of your Princesses wants to make a fashion statement while her sister just wants to layer on the accessories and role-play? Does that count as "fashion" too? I hope so because that's what I'm sharing this week on my blog!
As cute as always!!! The video totally made me smile. When I check your posts my husband always says "What are you smiling about?" My standard answer - Salsa Girls!!!!
Always love the girls' fashion choices. Know what you mean about the laundry. It's hard to keep up with the 6 of us. When my older daughter started the layering thing I about came unglued and threatened to make her do all her own laundry. Glad Maimie doesn't do too much layering yet. PS Everytime I grab the laptop Maimie wants to "watch movies of Ro and Ree with mommy". So cute!
Want to make a big difference in the world? Give one small child the benefit of Foster Care. Ro and Ree were in foster care and it changed their lives. Read more about it or read about other charities that help children.

ReplyDeleteI love their outfits, especially the Ro's pink ruffle skirt and Ree's pink and yellow bows. :)
ReplyDeleteNot participating this Friday...as we didn't really get to pick outfits. :(
(Do drop by my blog for an award -- for all your posts that have made me smile.)
Better and better every week! Good grief, they are cuties alright!
ReplyDeleteLaundry...oh yes, it is my nemesis as well.
Have a nice weekend.

The laundry in my daughter's room always drives me crazy. I never know what's dirty and what's clean. They look adorable, as usual.

ReplyDeleteSooo cute! I love the video and them describing their outfits :-)
ReplyDeleteVERY VERY CUTE!
