I don't even have anything to brag aboutXD All my youth I dressed as I wanted, and now I don't feel embarrassed when I look at my photos from school and uni. Only...my makeup was a little too much.The most ridiculous clothes I had was in my early childhood, when it was decided for me what I should wear, it was in the early 90s. Now when I look through my childhood photos I get sick of the stupid pink dresses and stupid hats. I was well mocked! Lol. So for my daughter I choose adequate clothes at a cool kids clothing store that are as similar to adult casual style as possible.
When I was very young (4-5) I had a rat tail at some point. Then in early elementary years a lot of bowl cuts before settling for a standard part in the hair. In high school I was finally allowed to have long hair and it was glorious until my mother tricked me into a hair appointment where she had made arrangements behind my back to have my hair cut too short to hold itself down so I just had a poofy bob on top and looked like a dickhead. Right before senior pictures. I couldnt even bear to own my senior yearbook and can hardly ever forgive her for that. Then back to a few more brief years of decent looking long hair until I started balding and said fuck it, shaved it off by mid 20s.
Remind her in every Christmas card.
