When I send my mother photos of Mio in her various dresses and outfits, she often comments on how Mio must be like a “living doll” (生ãã¦ã‚‹äººå½¢, ikiteru ningyou in Japanese) that I can play dress-up with. I admit that I have way too much fun picking out what Mio will wear every day, and I probably enjoy it far more than Mio herself does. I’m relishing it while I can, since before I know it, Mio is going to be rejecting my outfit choices for her and wanting to pick her clothes out herself. (And I can already tell you that I will most likely cry when that day comes, just as my mom did when I rejected the K-mart clothing she bought me in favor of Limited Too.)
Mio has a bunch of cute jinbei clothes that she received as gifts as well as hand-me-downs (all in the same size!), so I decided to take advantage of the hot weather we’ve been having this past week and have her wear them while she still can! Welcome to the fashion show of my little Japanese doll, summer edition:
Love the frilled sleeves and the goldfish design…
Bunnies and cherry blossoms… so very appropriate for Mio.
She has recently discovered her toes… 😛
