Fashion and Frugality

So, in a moment of insane brilliance, one of Samantha's teachers decided to drop a bombshell on me.  Not the typical sort of bombshell where someone gives you some incredibly good or incredibly bad news, not the kind of bombshell that makes you think, "Good for/too bad for them..."  It was just an idea, one that slipped right out of her mouth and made the already-overworked cogs in my mind pick up some doublespeed. 

"You should write a blog about creating great children's fashion looks on a dime." 

My mantra.  My love.  My passion.  Fashion and frugality.  Hey, I hear a blog title in the works already...

Yep, I love to dress my daughter.  And yep, I'm super-cheap frugal.  I mean, after 20-something years in retail, I learned that everything goes on sale eventually.  And if you are patient and don't need this year's fashions this year, you can wait until the end of the season for even better sale prices. 

I could go on and on about what I've learned, what I do, how I do it.  But the key word was BLOG.  Dare I even consider it?  Too crazy for words?  Hmmmm...tempting...  Actually, beyond tempting.  I could hear Blogger calling, started to formulate posts in my mind, readying my mental image of the fun it would be!   Another blog.

I guess I should strike while the iron is hot, so to speak.  While Samantha still couldn't care less what I dress her in.

I'll just do the please-gimme-more-hours-in-the-day dance to the gods of time and voila!  No problemo. 

What are your thoughts on this?  Would you read it?  Would you share it?  Would you think I'm totally off my rocker?  I understand that fashion is certainly a very subjective thing, and what floats one's boat won't necessarily float another's.  But I'm determined that kids should dress like kids, and that's my inspiration.

Stay tuned...
