(I hope I haven't created a monster.......albeit a cute one!)
We came home after school today and I was feeling a little lazy. (I've developed this new cough after kicking pnemonia recently and yesterday I put my "good" knee out so I was feeling a bit bummed out and thought maybe we'll skip this week's fashion challenge.) Well, Dahlia had other plans. As soon as we got in the door she asked "is tomorrow Friday?", I said "yes" and she took off upstairs saying "I know what I want to wear, I know what I want to wear" (Huh?!!)
I have spent days cleaning out her closet (and packing away hoardes of clothes for Milana) so everything was organized for the choosing. Dahlia was in a Chinese mood and whipped out an outfit she hasn't even worn yet. (Actually, she tried on several different ones - even one with a red feather boa but honestly - I'm a bit embarrassed to show them 'cause someone might think I've been giving this child stripping lessons (where is she picking this up? - we still only watch treehouse - we don't even watch the Disney channel and no, it's not from me ;0....really!).
Anyhoo, it's going to be 90 degrees here this week-end, so after the 'chinese parade' I suggested something she could go out in on Saturday and she choose this little number.
(Hmmm......just realized her bangs are crooked. Note to self - get out the sissors!)So, here's a peek into Dahlia's closets (side by side with sliding mirrored doors). I only keep her undies, socks and odd thing in drawers. I like to see everything otherswise I forget what I have. Do you suppose it's because I have too much? Nah!
(Lets see how long it looks like this.)

(oops.....is she thinking 'come hither' ?)
Ahh.....that's the look I love so well!

Hi, I'm Wanda. I am a happy woman, wife to Danny for...oh....lots a years and finally Mom to THE most adorable little girl from Hunan, China - Dahlia. And now we have been blessed again with another daughter, Milana, from Zhejiang, China. (The 2 best things I've ever done!)
We live in the Montreal area. After a loooonnngg wait for Dahlia's little sister Milana (pronounced - Mee-lana, like banana), we finally brought her home in August 2009. Dahlia came to us in Nov 2004 (at 20 months of age)and a year later we began the application for another baby - at the time the waiting period was around 8 months. Almost 4 years later (say what!?!)we, at last, brought Milana home.
This began as the story of our journey to bring Milana home and life with her big sister, Dahlia. It now continues as we live as a family of four!

I love how she hams it up for the camera. Gwen is just starting to do that and I love taking pics of her. Maddy just sticks out her chin and throws me a really cheezy fake smile.
C'mon, we know how you REALLY threw out your good knee. You were giving Dahlia stripping lessons, huh. Hee hee...
But seriously, you did a great job on that closet!

Awh......you caught me!! LOL
Gotta love the poses and the outfits are cute too.
Yes, we may very well be creating monsters, well fashion monsters anyway! I get a little flash back 70's from the first outfit and love her poses and expressions! My question is - does she have the dance moves to back up the outfits? I swear that Rylee must have watched a Chinese version of MTV while she was in China (do they have such a thing?), because the girl has dance moves that make can make me blush!
Great outfit -- that girl has style (and a nice closet!).
Dahlia is adorable in all her outfits.
Oh Dahlia, I'm so honoured...I remember that little outfit (wink wink).
