dora: the fashion "explora".


This morning while I was lounging in bed watching Dora the Explorer, I noticed something quite profound. (Incidentally, Dora is what you watch when your three year old believes that 5:46 AM is a perfectly acceptable time to wake on a daily basis.) Dora was/is ahead of her time when it comes to fashion.  Just check out her keen color blocking skills.  She's been rockin' this look for years.  Is it a coincidence that all these gorgeous & fabulous fashionista bloggers have adopted her look?  You be the judge. ;o)

P.S. Do you color block?  I'd like to know.  We're quite fond of it in our little house.

  2. Wow. Look @ Dora go.

    And all this time, I thought she was just here to teach us Spanish!

    Boy, was I wrong ;).

    Seriously- I love the orange/red/yellow favorite color combination. It's one of my favorites... And yes- I do color block? You know who taught me a few years ago? Hailey! She can color-block like no other. One day, she walked down the hall in little bright pink shorts and a green (a perfect shade of primary green)... striking. I never would have paired those two items together, and it's now another favorite combo. I realized not long after- If she can do it, why can't I?? =)

    (happy to see your post... did you miss my 'novel-length comments??)

  7. i absolutely love the fact that you can get inspiration from Dora at 5:46 in the morning!!!! Sounds like the wake up time in our house....but we are usually on Curious George, who doesn't happen to have much fashion sense. Now, the Man with the Yellow Hat, that's another story.
