Fashion Friday: My Imaginary Well-Dressed Toddler Daughter

FREE IMAGES

Freelance writer Tiffany Beveridge is a mother of three -- two real-life sons and an imaginary daughter named Quinoa. This little lady may imaginary, but she's ever so stylish. In fact, the young fashionista inspired My Imaginary Well-Dressed Toddler Daughter, a Pinterest board where Beveridge catalogs her "daughter's" keen fashion sense and favorite looks, along with clever captions (the one above: "I sent Quinoa to a sleepover one night and she returned the next day wearing her pillowcase as a modern frock. Silly girl!")...

"Quinoa and her little English friend Jasper have been raising a pair of turtle doves to release upon the birth of the royal baby as an act of goodwill between our nations."

"Sure, Quinoa has poise, but she's also got fire. Don't think you can sneak her organic carob cookies while she's balancing books on her head."

"Sometimes I walk into her room to find Quinoa and her friends playing Modern Art Installation."

"Don't be late to pick up Quinoa for a play date. Just don't."

"Sometimes, when she's feeling out of balance, Quinoa does a textile cleanse: one week of white cotton dresses with the labels cut out."

Way to go, Quinoa! Now I'm wondering how my imaginary kids would dress. What about yours, friends? xoxo

Aren't these tiny matchboxes adorable? Such a clever and creative touch for an ordinary, everyday object. xoxo

Prism tattoo

Whew! I'm so sorry for the late start today, friends. I was up until almost midnight last night working on a freelance newsletter -- isn't it funny how time just gets away from you sometimes?

 

Anyway, I've got a Love Lounge coming up, but first: It's no secret that I'm pretty addicted to Pinterest, as is much of the Internets. There are so many inspiring things out there, and I love absorbing all that creativity. How mesmerizing is this prism tattoo? Its feminine, soft tone reminds me of spring. And the pastel touch? Perfection! xoxo

 

P.S. More amazing tattoos.
