The actress, who is mom to 7-year-old daughter Birdie Leigh and 2-year-old daughter Cricket Pearl, is happy to let her girls take the lead when it comes to figuring out their own style.
“We go to Target, we go to Gap Kids, they wear sneakers. I don’t subscribe to that belief at all,” the Cougar Town star told reporters at a recent event when asked about expensive kid clothes.
“I let [Birdie] dress herself. She should be making her own choices. She should get up in the morning and get herself dressed. Sorry, not sorry.”
"The time for magical dressing is when I think they’re in preschool, like 4 or 5 years old … they get really specific ideas," Busy Philipps went on to share. "Both my girls love putting on my high heels and walking around. It’s really cute."
I have to agree, and have a few great photos of my kids wearing all of their favorites at once as evidence. Who says a magician hat, superhero cape and fuzzy slippers don't go together? No one we're listening to, that's for sure.
We also took the approach of letting our kids choose their clothes (as well as buying them on the cheap), but now that my kids are big they wear school uniforms most days. They're not very fond of the plain polo shirts and slacks, and often complain about having their choices taken away. On the one hand I can appreciate what they're saying, but on the other I can't deny there's also something about the simplicity of uniforms that's very easy for a parent to love.
Do your kids get to choose their own clothes? How do you feel about them possibly wearing school uniforms some day? Share with us by leaving a comment below!
