A while ago I wrote about the overpriced Phillip Lim kids clothing line. Elizabeth, a So Fash’on reader, commented on the fact that kids don’t dress like kids anymore. Even here, in the city where I live, I see baby girls dressed up by their mom’s like little dolls. “I remember wearing blue shorts and a white short sleeve t-shirt with some cartoon character on the front and matching blue trim to climb trees and come home from the park all scratched up, dirty and rosy cheeked from running around for five hours“. I used to do that too, until I got a Barbie doll and started to create clothing/a living space out of card-boards, basically, a life for it. And Karen Elson in this editorial from Vogue UK April 2008 looks exactly like the Barbie I would love to have now. Wait, I’d actually love to have those dresses for myself.
Some things get so easily mixed up. Kids dressing like little adults, adults behaving like kids.. Life, right?
