Saw a little girl this morning in grocery store.

Kiddo made my day as she was maybe four or five yet she was wearing a princess outfit with tiara with her wand .
And also she had on galoshes and rain coat kids got style. Once again I’m feeling inadequate as i could never pull that look off wearing princess outfit in wet weather gear.

ever take their princess dresses off. I remember loving to wear skirts with piles of stiff petticoats. We didn't have princess dresses but we had some really fun skirts and dresses.

My Grandma bought me before I came home from summer at her house had 9 yards in the skirt,halfway down my calves.
Everyone made fun of me. Within a month those who could afford it were wearing the same thing!👋👍

Perhaps step one for you is only wearing tiara on a sunny day. Let me clarify, I mean street clothes plus a tiara, not just a tiara. 😬😂

Have you tried? If not, I think you should get a princess dress (wand and tiara too) and try them on! Then take several pix and let us be the judges 😜😂

You are definitely from Pennsylvania. My grandparents used that all the time.🐕

Thank you for that memory.

I remember 4 pairs neatly lined up on the back porch in the snowy winters. In Decatur, Illinois.

I loved playing princess with my nieces and great nieces, (the nephews were invited but not interested.) We especially liked the tiaras that had flashing lights. We were too cool!
