We have always been very basic with the talent to do much with a little, so I don’t personally go out of my way to over design (name brands), spend ($$), or outsource my child with clothes that are clearly not age appropriate…
Once in and out of several stores I was EXTREMLY disheartened by what our society, community or someone else saw fit for our children as “Appropriate”!
Walls and walls of micro-shorts, fitted tank tops and EXTRA SKINNY jeans?!
I know you may be thinking...
“Well YOU can just overlook these things… you don’t have to purchase them?!”
My answer to that is...
“I choose not to!” –
* I choose not to allow such images into my daughter’s psyche – Her mental is worth too much!
* I choose to allow my daughter to be a product of my design and to be a child during the window the cycle of life has provided
* I choose to be a mother, sister, mentor to all young girls and daughters – and there is nothing wrong with PRIDE and being RIGHT(eous) and upholding yourself as such
* I choose to display that beauty is a state of mind that cannot be reflected by a tag or how much you pay for it!
They say ones society can be reflected by the laws, music, clothes and culture of its community…
It put me in a state that made me ponder how many people realize the state they are in and continue to follow behind blindly, with no say just constantly digesting what is given-
To all my mothers/fathers and guardians be aware of who your child is meant to be in this future
Break the cycle; if not for you then for the GIRL IN THE MACHINE!
