Confirmation has become a big event which sometimes causes despair for many Parents.
I have so many Mums contacting me asking for 'cover ups' for the Chapel and I tell them 'don't fret'. All they need is something to wear over the shoulders , for the Chapel to walk in , as its normally so stuffy, albeit not this year.
Who knows?
Each little girl has their own 'style' and to be perfectly honest, why shouldn't they?
I have a saying 'pick your battles', what is the point in making her unhappy about what she is in. If she wants to rock the outfit up by wearing a denim jacket - my advice- let her!
Why waste your money and buy something she will never wear again?
Ive included 3 different 'cover ups' that I think are lovely for the Chapel.
1. Our own Faux Fur Bolero available in pink, ivory, white & black.

Now, girls that are aged 11 have more say and why shouldn’t they, in what they wear, we should be encouraging individuality. And speaking from experience Ladies, I know it isn’t easy!
Thats why I love the following outfit, it’s our “KIRSTY” dress, with a pair of Converse and finished off with a Ted Baker metallic jacket. Now this jacket is Ted Baker last years Season. Do you see how it totally changes the outfit from “girly” to cool- and to top it off you won’t be wasting your money on something she won’t wear again. She could wear the dress in the Summer on holidays and I can assure you the Converse will be not be taken off !
Pic. 3 - Anyone that has ever been to me as a customer is probably saying to themselves “Is she still recommending that cardigan?”, my answer is “if it’s not broke ,why fix it?”
The “NIAMH” cardigan from Monsoon is one of a girls key pieces, in my opinion, in her wardrobe. Every year they bring out this cardigan in different colours. Priced at £20-£25, it washes like a ribbon.
Because I am looking at fashion pieces all the time, I find it easy to put things together. And here is another example, in our Charmaine dress paired with a pair of shoes from Monsoon and with the cardigan. 
I hope these ideas help, and please remember , if she wants to wear a jumpsuit or wear black, sometimes it’s just easier to let her, “pick your battles”. And appreciate her individuality.
Sure isn’t that what life is about, #beUnique
Hope this helps, Love G x k
