I have absolutely nothing to wear…
Now here’s something that caught me as I was trying to get to sleep. Why don’t you get black baby clothes? When I asked a few people what their thoughts were, their thoughts were mostly something like this:
“You want a ninja baby?” - very popular that one
“A goth baby?” “An emo baby?”
Come to think of it, what do goths and emos who have babies do? Dress them in mint and lemon?
I’m not even going to think about ninja babies.
Anyway, why does it follow that black is only worn by those sectors of society? I wear a lot of black and I certainly don’t fit into those categories. And what about the ubiquitous little black number? Shouldn’t every fashion-conscious baby have a little chic & sophisticated something they can whip out for society soirees? I mean, if it’s become acceptable to wear black to a wedding, I don’t see why you can’t put your baby in black every now and again.
When I suggested buying some plain white baby-grows (jumpsuits/onesies/creepers/whatever they might be called down your way) and dyeing them….
“Well, I guess there’s always that approach. If you’re desperate.”
Thanks.
