Little Madam - Fashionista On A Budget

As a little girl, I love playing dress up (or at least the idea of it). I grew up watching  Lizzie McGuire, That's So Raven, and Parent Trap, and I always tell myself that I want to dress like them. I also like watching slumber party shows etc, but since I have no sister, and my cousins live far from where I grew up, I barely made it happen. I am also the only daughter, so most of the time, the toys and games at home are for boys.

When Klongski came, I promised myself that I will buy the cutest, trendiest clothes for her. I am not a fan of cartoon characters on Klong's clothes, and buying "pang dalaga" clothes are really expensive, because babies grow so fast they easily outgrow your last month's purchase.

But being the cheapskate that I am, I looked for affordable baby/toddler clothes for Klong's daily OOTDs. Most of Klong's outfits are from SM department store, tiangges, and our favorite - Taytay Market.

On paydays (or days when we feel like spending a little more on her outfits), we either have custom-made outfits for her from trusted IG shops, or we go to Old Navy and Uniqlo.
I am not too picky when it comes to the brand, so long as my daughter is comfortable in it, plus she looks cute. hahaha. :D

Here are some of my most favorite little madam outfits.

There are still a lot of photos I wish I could add, but this is getting too lengthy. I am really happy that my daughter loves dressing up as much as I do. Klong is growing up so fast and I know it won't be long before she would refuse to wear the clothes that I pick for her. So for the meantime, I would just enjoy these dressing up moments with my little fashionista on a budget.
