Both DH and DD have a loud sense of fashion. On Sunday mornings, its not too uncommon for DH to don a Hawaiian shirt for church. DD, meanwhile, went through a phase of wearing plaid, polka dots, and floral print, all together, on Sunday mornings.
I used to cringe. But now, I've mellowed. I even bought DH a Hawaiian shirt for our anniversary one year. After all, it is only clothes, and if people at church judge you by your clothes, you're in the wrong church, in my opinion.
What made me change my mind? Well, to be honest, it was our therapist, who pointed out that kids shouldn't be made to have anxiety attacks over whether their clothes match or not. She wasn't pointing the finger, because when this occurred, DD was much to young to choose her own clothes anyway. But it just made me realize that as long as they are decent and appropriate to the weather, clothes are not worth fighting over. Don't call it loud. Call it BOLD, DARING, and BEAUTIFUL.
