They grow up so quickly

Look at her; denim shorts and a denim jacket. 

Last week I took Rachel clothes shopping and had her trying on outfit in the changing room for the first time ever.  It was so much fun.  We browsed the rails and laughed at some of the outfits and Rachel tried loads of different things on.

My highlight of the experience was her declaration that baggy trousers are "not my style mum".  

When I asked her what her style was she said "leggings or tight trousers and floatey tops".  I love that she has a sense of her own style.

I adore the outfit she picked in the end, it's cool and trendy but not too flashy or fleshy.  She looks adorable but she also looks soooo grown up.
