This! Post! Omg I loved it so much. We are very much in a Peppa state of mind in this household as well. Also! Did you know that the green Margo comes in a short dress version, too?! I’ve had it in my cart for so long and you’re making me want to order.

YAY! That makes me so happy! And omg yes, I discovered the dress version when I was putting this together and almost impulsively bought it 😂 Please order it and let me know how you like it! Consider it an act of service. 💚

I am HOWLING at this post; it came straight out of a mom brain but will certainly land well among the masses because it made me smile! Did my daughter go through a phase of calling me "mummy" because of the Peppa we had watched? Yes. Do I miss that very much now? Actually yes. I am VERY much in my color-era and this was lovely inspiration for that.

LOL, mom brain for sure! When I was midway through the first draft I paused to ask myself if I had lost my mind with this one but just kept going 😂 I’m so glad it made you smile and brought good memories from the “mummy” days 🥹❤️ and yay for being in our color era!!!

What a fun, demented concept for a post! I loved this and have definitely found myself dressing in brighter hues since welcoming my baby (more so inspired by her wardrobe than our tv show choices I hope).

Btw my daughter also loves Peppa Pig. I think it’s a cute, funny show (I sing that “Fruits and Vegetables” song to her all the time). Surprised muddy puddle brown didn’t make the palette!

Fun and demented, that’s me!!! Thanks for reading, Lan 🫶🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼 I have the “fruits and vegetables” song playing in my head now — those Peppa bops are too catchy. And oh! Muddy puddle brown would be so fun to shop for — maybe there’s a part two here if I really go off the deep end. (A definite possibility.)

I do not have kids, I do not know the Peppa theme song, but I do know that I love bright, nostalgic colors. Such a cute post!

Well this makes me feel like I must have done something right. Thank you for not running away when I started talking about animated pigs (honestly, it would have been understandable) and staying through to the end. I'm so happy you enjoyed this! xo

i am OBSESSED on all fronts. Laughing out loud at Peppa and how you put together the colors so beautifully can only be called wizardry. And then your picks were too good. The blue pants! the bikini tee! such a good read

Jordyn, thank you!!!! Getting an "obsessed" from someone whose style I'm frankly obsessed with means a heckuva lot. <3

Elin this post is perfect. I love the connections you make between the things you love and the everyday things in your kid’s lives. You see inspiration anywhere!! Also, I just bought my son his first magnatiles set yesterday and we are in full chucking mode lol

I'm smiling ear to ear reading your comment, Brittany, thank you!!! Means A LOT.

And good luck with dodging Magnatiles!!! My daughter built several towers today and then smashed them all (for fun?) which caused several to go airborne. I feel like I'm an extra in an action (or horror?) movie and am considering wearing a helmet in the house. When those squares hit, they hit hard.

This post is GENIUS. I've found myself gravitating more towards brighter colors after my son became a toddler. I dressed him (and myself) in mostly neutral colors when he was a baby, but toddler personalities are so fun, vibrant, and loud 😂 so I updated his wardrobe to reflect that more and it's been making me want to add more color to my own wardrobe as well!

Thank you so much, Christine! I can definitely relate to all that. We’re often wearing every color of the rainbow at the same time, mixing prints and ofc incorporating glitter. Toddlerhood!!!
