It’s a good thing babies have egos as small as their pinkies, because they’re at a very vulnerable time in the development of their personal sense of style. They HAVE to depend on the fashion smarts of parents, grandparents, other family and friends who can take cute a little too far when picking out baby clothes.
The good news for babies is they live in ignorant bliss long enough to get through this phase of life with little to no effect on their self-esteem—until the long-repressed photos start emerging during their wedding video. It’s a well-kept secret (probably because babies can’t talk for quite a while) that, given the opportunity, they’d choose a classic, upscale wardrobe (see photos left and right) to, as they say, dress for success. Ahhh, but that’s not what the “let’s see how silly we can make this poor child look” legion has in mind. Need proof?
What comes to mind when you see the baby in the outfit below? All I can think of is Dumbo. Come on, now. No wonder kids run away to join the circus. Wouldn’t you?

And finally, the piece de resistance, the pinnacle of pride-annihilating attire for the newborn, an infant-sized ensemble that embodies the very definition of “pop” culture. the unforgettable memory I leave you with today…
