Cardigan / Chelsea Boots / Newer Socks / Skirt / T-Shirt

I talked about this on Instagram, but recently my six-year-old daughter Emma recently informed me that she only wants to wear “black clothing from Zara.”

I need to admit that briefly, my heart broke a bit. My baby girl—who wore things like nostalgic smocked dresses and ditsy floral prints for most of her life—wasn’t a baby anymore. Heck, I’m not even sure I could call her a “little girl.” She was a kid.
