Tshimo’s favourite colour is pink, which I was a bit surprised about when she started showing a colour preferenc., I was surprised because I did not necessarily flood her world with pink things. But, she chose that anyway.

The only jersey she ever wants to wear is pink, and she has a couple of others to choose from. But pink it is.

So, when I saw the merchandise for the new Blue Horizon Licensing campaign we were invited on, I was stoked. Barbie was going neutral this summer and I was here for it. They went gender-neutral in 2019, and this summer, their neutral colour clothing collection has stolen our hearts, Tshimo’s too.

There are three looks in particular for moms with older girls.

First up were these shorts that calls for an adventure. Our safari girl had fun taking pictures of the wild forest and watching sightseeing in binoculars. This is perfect for the adventurous young girls that are always coming down with jungle fever.

Next are the two leggings and top sets that proved to be a winner in our household. The set she is wearing is a dusty pink, but pink nonetheless, and she is obsessed with it. Seriously, she refuses to take it off when she goes to bed.

I’m a leggings and tops mom right now, for myself and my daughter. For a four-year-old girl that attends school every day, I find sets like these to be perfect, especially because they match. It’s cute how she recognises matches now and walks differently when her clothes match. Unless she is having one of that mismatch, “let’s look different” type of days, which are always welcome in our home.

I also find sets to be less nightmarish for girls with preferences. You know, those mornings where she is not sure what she wants to wear, and none of the options you are picking are the right ones. So, instead of having to choose between a shirt and random trousers, a set is but one decision away.
