First world problem of the day
I have a nearly 3yo DD, and a lovely posh Christmas party to go to in a few weeks time. There's even a professional photographer there, so it would be nice to try and make her look less like she's been dragged through a hedge backwards than usual (she just has that sort of hair!)
Anyway, our personal taste isn't for dresses on a day to day basis. In fact, considering she's 3 and permanently mucky her clothes are all just leggings/jumpers/boots sort of thing. So I thought, maybe I'll buy her a really nice dress for the party. But then I remember that we don't have tights, any kind of appropriate cardigan (or any cardigan bar hoodies...) or particularly any shoes other than wellies, stompy dark boots or sporty trainers.
At which point my natural tightness has cut in and while I know I can get loads of nice things from eBay and supermarkets and charity shops, I'm quite loathe to buy a new dress, tights, shoes and cardigan that she's unlikely to wear again for one afternoon party.
Yes, yes, completely ridiculous problem I know - but has anyone seen anything nice out there? Can I still make her look "party", as I know she's starting to enjoy dressing up, without buying loads of things she'll never wear again?
