If you let your 3-year-old son dress you up… you might wind up looking pretty fabulous, actually. Summer Bellessa, an actress and blogger at babble.com, decided to let Rockwell, her 3-year-old son, choose her outfits every day for a week. There are hits and there are misses, but you can’t deny that the kid has a good eye sometimes.
“A lot of being a mom is telling people what to do,” Bellessa writes. “It was therapeutic for both of us to change roles, if even in this small way. He enjoyed having his opinions heard…“

Day 1
“The first few items were great: my Bob Dylan tee, with a gray skirt, and tights. I think I’ll put this in my rotation… But then before I could finish, he pointed to my nude heels”
Day 2
“This was probably my favorite day. These polka dotted Lula Roe leggings look great with my Mickey T-shirt… It’s almost like an homage to Minnie”
Day 3
“I was a little self-conscious running my errands that day, but again, to my surprise I didn’t get one double-take or stare of curiosity. Instead, I got a woman who stopped me to tell me she liked my socks!”
Day 4
“This outfit was a little more of a challenge. He picked out three shirts for me … and that’s it. ‘Mommy can’t go outside without any pants on,’ I explained to my 3-year-old. ‘How about we switch one of these shirts for a pair of pants?'”
“He also pulled out two pairs of shoes from a pile in my closet. I don’t think he realized that they were two different shoes”
Day 5
“This shirt was picked out because it has arrows on it, and Rockwell loves arrows. He looked for pants that also have arrows, but had to settle on a pair of jeans”
“He also pulled out two boots, a rain boot and a brown cropped boot. He looked at them and asked, ‘Are these close enough?'”

Share on FacebookThis kid has potential, and a very brave mum! - Would she agree to repeat this exercise in 10 years time - I wonder :-)
Having two matching shoes is overrated anyway. Your kid has a great sense of fashion! I thought all of his choices were pretty great!
Some of these are super cute! The shoes are cute too actually, I mean matching is tough! LOL
This is the cutest thing ever. And for 3 he did a great job. I'd rock some of those outfits.
Great job, mom - this kid will have so much self confidence and belief in himself!
What a brave loving thing to do. I wish I had thought to do that when my sons were younger.
They are ALL rad outfits and those mismatched leopard shoes really should be marketed that way!
LOVE this and mom's too! I may have to steal her courage and try this with my son. Such a creative experience for both... and what fun!!!
Really lovely, different shoes a bit ... well .... different but still they matched. Really well done! X
Adorable, you go Mom. More st of the outfits were pretty cute too. For a 3 yr old he did GREAT!!! :-)
Wow this is awesome! He did a great job. I bet it made him feel so grown up and like a big boy. I think I'm going tdress to try this. ♡
I also want to add this Mom is adorable. She would look cute in anything. Even two different boots
I like the idea of putting the t-shirt over the stripey top. I might just do that.
I think he is pretty good, maybe the next Chanel? Who knows? Anyway, for a 3 years old he rocked, and mommy too!
Can I get this kid to pick out my clothes?? He does a better job than I do :D
awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww... well thats what it's like being dressed everyday by your mom and dad i guess
aaw that so cute and wow very nice mom just like mine<3<3<3 lots of love to all the world's tru mom
Finally we know, how old (at least intellectually) hipsters are... :-D :-D :-D
think she'd look great in a sack!!! But it's a fab idea and I might try it myself!
I love it...it shows that she appreciates her sons opinions and values his dicisions...I love it...kudos for mommy!!!!
This is a fun experiment. There are so many days, when I don't want to look for clothes to wear!
How fun! Would be kind of nice to blame my mismatched wardrobe on a 3 yr old for a change ha ha
So sweet this. She doesn't look bad at all in his selection.
Thanks Bellesa for sharing the special love you and Rockwell have for each other.
I think your clothes are cool. It's imposible to dress badly even if it's your son who choose them.
if youre hot doesnt matter who dresses you up, youll always look good LOL
I'm confused, it's a post to have your child dress you for a week, but there is only 5 days posted .
Every day I dress like a 3 year old has dressed me. Achievement unlocked.
It is wonderful you had that interaction. Wonderful for both of you! Good job, mommy.
She would have been ecstatic if I had let her dress me! I'm sorry now I didn't give her that little bit of joy. This mom is exceptional!!!
I wasn't asbrave as this mom, but I did let my daughter dress herself when she was 4 and in kindergarten. It was quite an eye opener!
I love it. I used to let my son pick things out and wore them proud because my baby chose it. He's older now and I still ask his opinion
My daughter was adopted by a gay male couple and I just posted this to her wall that if her dads won't, I will.
Your face is like every damn hipster in America.
