Little viking

As I have previously mentioned in Small but determined my 18 month old daughter has already developed a flair for fashion, but so has my soon-to-be 4 year old son as well! He knows what he likes and dislikes and unfortunately sometimes we don't really agree on what's a cool outfit and what's also suitable weather wise. I had big problems last summer convincing him that flannelet pyjamas in 35 degree heat is not such a great thing, while now in the middle of winter I can't get him to wear socks or that above mentioned pyjamas for that matter! It's a no win situation for mum.
Anyway, he has really taken a shine to Danefae's viking Tee collection, which I'm of course is over the moon about (see you later Spiderman etc, the cool vikings are taking over!) He got his T-shirt the other week and put it on straight away for an excursion to our local shopping centre. But he wasn't quite satisfied with his outfit and suddenly his face lit up and he said; "Mummy, I know what's missing.." and ran into his bedroom. After a few minutes he came out with this horrific plastic Viking helmet, with horns (chrissie present from last year) on his head. Great I thought, he looks like he is playing dress ups rather than making a fashion statement. But what can you do? He thought it was the perfect accessory and with a 3 year old you have to choose your battles so off we trotted, me and my little gorgeous viking.
