I got this irresistible swim cover-up for baby girl a while back but she has been resisting all efforts to put it on with a dismissive “It’s not nice, I don’t like it!”
All this time, it’s been sitting at the bottom of her drawer because I knew better than to argue fashion with someone whose idea of very nice involved as many Hello Kitties as possible.
In her world of fashion, anything that has 1 Hello Kitty falls into the “nice” category. Anything that has 2 Hello Kitties is “so cute, I like it.” and anything with more than 5 Hello Kitties is “VERY NICE MOMMY YOU BUY NOW!”
Till this day, I still struggle to see the appeal of a cat whose name is made up entirely of a generic feline greeting. I mean, I would never name my child Hello Human unless I was certain she would be the last surviving human in the face of a martian invasion. In which case, I suppose it would be appropriate and somewhat cool.
But back to the swim cover-up. My little fashionista pulled this out from her drawer, stared at it for a minute, then decided it was time to promote it to the category of “ok fine, you can wear this for me.”
We had to compromise on the footwear but it’s still a step in the right direction. Baby steps. It’s all about baby steps.

Muhahaha…so funny!! Kirsten is soooooooo cute in this lovely swimwear.
Same here..I still don’t know how to appreciate the kitty with no mouth…
so I will try all means to not introduce this kitty to my bb!
Hahahah it’s inevitable. Hello Kitties are EVERYWHERE, they’re taking over the world.
Ahh, and maybe can even get Truett on with Dear Daniels!! Hehehehe! Sorry! Btw, Kirsten looks like she sure knows how to rock out a kickin’ swimmies. So cute!
Please NOOOOOOOO!!! Thankfully Tru doesn’t feel the same about Dear Daniel…
Hi Daphne,
Your girl looks so cute in this attire, and her Hello Kitty crocs shoes. Hey, I’m a big BIG fan of Hello Kitty too. I have Hello Kitty everywhere – cups, stationeries, iPhone cover, water bottles, pouches, key chains, car accessories, floor mat, plush toys etc.. I could go on..
I have a pair of adult Hello Kitty crocs shoes too~! My son is also a Hello Kitty fan (under my influence, maybe). He wanted to wear the Hello Kitty shoes too, but too bad…. I hope Crocs will come out with Dear Daniels soon.
Wahahaha that’s hardcore. My girl will love you if she sees your Hello Kitty collection! And then she will make me buy every single one of them for her sighhh…
She poses like a pro model! Hahaha!
Thanks San! I’ll make her practice everyday and hopefully she grows tall enough to work the runway eventually. As it is, she’s considered underheight for her age, like in the 10th percentile or something.
The swim cover-up IS ‘very nice’. The Hello Kitty shoes… is ALSO ‘very nice’… I’d have to side with baby girl on that one! She looks super duper adorable!
Hahah thanks Ellen! :)
HAHAA I love the Hello Human part. Baby girl poses like a pro!
Exactly, right? And Dear Daniel is possibly an even worse name. Power man.
I’m actually with kirsten on this one! Prefer the kitty crocs to the wrap, oops!
Hahahahah ok I’ll go get one pair of Hello Kitty crocs for myself so we can be matchy matchy
[…] obviously you guys were all in favor of baby girl’s obsession with all things Hello Kitty (well, thanks […]
do you ever wonder why dear daniel got a proper name (kinda proper…) and hello kitty got hers?
anyway, your little one is adorable in her hello kitty! gotta give in to the kitty power! soon enough she’d be requesting to kitty toasters and bright pink rooms! :)
She look gorgeous !
I loved your post
Keep in mind that swimwear is often on the small size. If there are a couple of different styles you think you like, then try them too!
