The makeover you’ve all been waiting for– the day ZOEY styled ME and I styled HER (you could win a $200 giveaway from thredUP!!!!!!)

So the other day I’m getting dressed and Zoey’s staring at me and I’m about to slam the closet door shut before she says anything about my butt or my boobs or fur, when suddenly she asks…

ZOEY: Mom, can I pick out what you wear today?

ME: Ummmm–

I mean sometimes I can’t decide whether Zoey’s going to grow up to be a big time fashion designer or the person to avoid on the subway because she’s dressed like Raggedy Ann on acid. But hey, I’m trying to instill a crapload of self-confidence in her so let’s see where this goes.

ME: What were you thinking?

She starts looking through my clothing.

ZOEY: No, no, noooo, ewwww, no. THIS ONE!!

ME: Zoey, I cannot wear a floor-length sparkly gown to go food shopping.

ZOEY: But this is the only one that’s pretty.

ME: (shakes head)

ZOEY: But Mommmm, there is nothing else.

So you guessed it, I went shopping that day in my evening gown. NOT. I mean yeah I’ll wear full-on pajamas to the grocery store, but apparently I draw the line at black-tie attire. Anyways, I suddenly had a better idea.

ME: Hey Zoey, I’m doing a sponsored post for thredUP. Do you want to help pick my clothing for it?

ZOEY: Yes! But I don’t want to help you. I want to do it all.

ME: Whatta you mean?

ZOEY: I mean I get to pick out everything myself and you can’t see.

ME: Ummmmm, hmmmm, interesting. Okay, but on one condition. Only if I can do the same thing for you.

ZOEY: No way, you’re going to pick out pink stuff and princessy stuff for me.

ME: No I won’t. I swear. The deal is we have to pick stuff we think the other person will like. Deal?

ZOEY: Deal!

ME: Muhahahahaha, I get to style Zoey.

ZOEY: Muhahahahaha, I get to style Mom.

So I opened the thredUP website (they are the largest online thrift store with up to 90% off your favorite brands!!) for her and set it so it would only show her my size and I gave her a budget and then I stepped away (and chewed my fingernails down to the nubs) and waited for her to be done (insert Jaws music here).

(fifteen minutes later)

ZOEY: I’m done!

ME: Why do you have such an evil grin on your face?

ZOEY: (rubs hands together wickedly)

ME: Zoey, I hope you took this seriously.

ZOEY: You’ll see.

Ruh-rohhh.

Now it was my turn to shop for her. Holy crap did it take a lot of willpower not to look at what she put in the cart for me. But I picked out a bunch of cute clothes for Zoey and I did not peek at her stuff.

And then a few evenings later I pulled into the driveway and look what was on my porch!! Woohooo!!!

Okay are you ready to see what she picked? FYI, I let Zoey TOTALLY style me, so please do NOT judge my hairdos or my poses. She was in complete control. And don’t forget to keep reading because A. You DEFINITELY want to see the adorable outfits I picked out for her, and B. I’m giving away a $200 shopping spree to thredUP at the end of this!!

ME: Hey, Zoey, I have one more thing for you. It’s very YOU. Do you want to style it yourself? Like you do your own hair and accessories?

ZOEY: Yes!!! Finally.

She disappeared for a while and then all of the sudden she strutted back through the kitchen, looking like this.
