It’s funny – one day I can be standing in my dressing room saying to myself, “I couldn’t possibly need any more boots,” and then the next day, I can be buying another pair of boots. It’s important to be open-minded, you know? Wouldn’t want to be stuck in one way of thinking.

Where do we stand on Barbie these days? Symbol of outdated beauty ideals, or beloved classic toy? Maybe I’m supposed to think Barbie is anti-feminist (as I am pro-feminist to a sometimes annoying degree), but…I really don’t have any problem with Barbie.
Yeah, her proportions are completely ridiculous, but she’s a toy. I played with Lincoln Logs and never thought my house should be made of plastic sticks. I totally get the argument that Barbie might give impressionable young girls a warped view of beauty, but I don’t think it’s fair to pin that all on Barbie – poor bitch is just trying to take her pink convertible for a tune up like the rest of us.
I’m the worst possible source for parenting tips, but if you ask me, there’s nothing wrong with letting your daughters (or sons) play with Barbies as long as you’re also teaching them body positivity and all that jazz.
All that to say – this pink blazer makes me feel like Barbie in the most empowered way possible.
