Mini Style | She Loves Band Tees

I should probably just change this to Teen Style the week's I feature Mackenzie.

One thing for sure, my girl is an old soul. Some of her favorite celebrities are men that could easily be her Dad, including Johnny Depp and Robert Downy Jr. She has liked Johnny Depp since she was in 2nd grade. On the first day of school that year she wrote that she was going to marry him. WHAAAAT?

She also loves old music such as The Ramones, Aerosmith, Guns and Roses, David Bowie, Nirvana, and Alice Cooper. Of course she does love other stuff too, her favorite being the band FUN. but her favorite era is probably the 90's. And her favorite way to express it is in all these shirts she gets. I can't even tell you how many she has, but this is her latest one.

Flower crown: gifted

Gorillaz Shirt: Flashback (local store), $20

Skirt: gifted
Glasses: Firmoo

Ear gauge, nose ring, necklaces, rings, and bracelets: random stores or handmade by Mackenzie.

Mini Style | Oh Hey, It's Kenzie!

Last week, I talked about letting my children have their own unique style. I really only have a couple of rules when it comes to clothes, and those are, nothing revealing and nothing that degrades them in any way (example: a shirt that says something like "talk into my microphones" across the breasts.) Luckily, nothing like either of those have ever been an issue, but there was a time when Mackenzie used to love to wear socks with tights with sandals and jean skirts that drove me crazy. The girl is a toothpick, so it wasn't her best look. But I have always chosen to pick my battles, and in doing so, I have really been able to see each of  my kids' personalities shine.

Although I don't always love what Mackenzie wears, there's not a place we go that she isn't stopped by someone who compliments her on her hair or her style. So, I know it's nothing more than the mom side of me who has outgrown some of those young people stores (but, hey, I did let her pierce her nose last year, so that should win me some kind of cool mom award, right?).

Mackenzie has definitely grown into a beautiful young lady, and although she's hardly "mini" anymore, I like to think that allowing her to make her own choices in so many areas, including her sense of style, has made her the confident, creative, trend setter (as opposed to a follower), that she is today. Girl knows just what she wants!

On a side note: Look at that snow! We almost always have the most pathetic snow falls, which result in the shutting down of EV-ER-Y-THING... including school! So, today is a snow day for us! Did I mention that the kids were already out last Friday, Monday (MLK holiday), and Tuesday too? Yep, after already being out for 2 weeks, less than a month ago, for Christmas! That's how we roll here in NC!

 

                    

She's the Mack!

 

Just recently, I was able to do a mini session with my oldest daughter, Mackenzie. It's so hard to get all of my kiddos to cooperate when taking group photos, so I have opted for individual sessions every now and then. We will be trying for a family Christmas card photo here really soon and I hope they turn out.

Mackenzie is certainly growing up to be such an amazing young woman. She is such a free spirit and passionate about so many things. I love that she always knows just what she wants and goes for it! It's so hard to believe she is 15 and we are already beginning to talk about college and what her plans for the future are. I look forward to being part of it all when the time comes.

 

10 Things About Mackenzie

She likes Nirvana, Alice Cooper, and One Direction, but her favorite is FUN.

She loves reading and wants to be a writer... and is actually in the process of writing her first book. 

She also loves acting and culinary arts, and is currently in classes for both. 

She is a talented artist...she can draw and sculpt some pretty awesome stuff!

She has an amazing singing voice. 

She has some tomboy in her and enjoys skateboarding, long boarding, rip sticking, and surfing.

You will not win an argument with her. You just won't. The girl has some amazing comebacks too.

She is a true comedian. I have peed my pants on more than one occasion. The girl is hilarious.

She is a tad bit lazy though. I am sure it's the teenager in her.

I am pretty convinced she will marry an older man. She is head over heels about Johnny Depp and Robert Downy Jr. the most, but on many occasions has pointed out the "hotness" of many older actors.
