Now I'm 22 and have been known to wear my petticoat from my wedding with a long pink and red striped glittery skirt, combat boots, and a corset. Sometimes I spray glitter in my hair too. I rarely wear make up though. This is a lot more outrageous than anything I ever wore as a kid, except maybe on Halloween.

When my 11 year old was 4 and younger he would not wear clothes unless we were going someplace.
