The Parent Bloggers Network

Our kids have drawers full of adorable matching outfits, and yet when we send them out the door to school, they look as if they picked out their clothes with the lights off. We want to encourage their creativity, but sometimes we can’t help wishing their outfit choices weren’t quite so crazy.

Tell us about the mismatched clothing combos your kids have come up with. How about a pink shirt paired with red shorts? Or rain boots and legwarmers on a scorching August day? Which outfits made you bite your tongue, and which ones made you say, “Go back upstairs and change your clothes!”

Below are the posts from a special week-long Blog Blast with Polly Pocket Pop ‘N Swap to encourage girls to express themselves in how they dress and how they play. With Polly Pocket Pop N’ Swap, girls can mix-and-match outfits for Polly and friends as they Pop ‘N Swap heads, torsos and bottoms to create a variety of unique fashion combinations…all without creating a single load of laundry!

Even if your little fashionista still insists on some outrageous choices, you can cash in on her creativity at MomLogic. Upload a photo of her wackiest outfit, and you’ll get a Pop ‘n Swap sample just for entering!

Here’s how to participate:

Write a post on your blog telling us about those mismatched outfits that were creative at best, crazy at worst, and how you help your kids express themselves in positive ways. Post by tonight at midnight and include links to http://www.toysrus.com/product/index.jsp?productId=3136638 and http://blog.parentbloggers.com.

Make sure to send your blog post link to parentbloggers@gmail.com and we’ll round them up right here - so give your post a creative title!

And if you upload a photo at MomLogic, be sure to do the same on Flickr and add it to our PBN Flickr Pool!

What can you win?

Two randomly chosen bloggers will each win a $250 VISA gift card, plus a Polly Pocket Pop ‘n Swap Fashion Frenzy set.

Thanks to all the participants in last week’s Yoplait Kids Blog Blast who told us what they couldn’t live without! Looks like we love our vacuums and our microwaves, our disposable diapers and our wonderful friends. Congratulations to our winner - Mayberry Mom - with her post, Corndog with Cheese!
