Earlier this week I took part in Oxfam’s latest fundraising initiative, Dressed by the Kids Day. The aim was to get sponsored and raise funds for the charity by letting the children choose your clothes.
This picture was taken while my youngest daughter, Izzy, was going through my wardrobe. She took a liking to this hat and struck this pose so I could take her picture. I originally posted a colour version on Instagram and it got quite a few likes.
I thought it looked equally good in black and white. I’m linking the image to the #MySundayPhoto linky hosted by the Photalife blog.
If you want to see me wearing the clothes selected by Izzy, check out this short video (it’s only three minutes and features an even better hat).
Photalife is hosted by the effervescent Darren Coleshill and the two of us share a rare honour. Both of us have been shortlisted in the Brilliance in Blogging Awards (#BiBs2016), Darren in the Social Media category, while I am in the Reader’s Choice category. If you are planning to vote in #BiBs2016, please do keep us in mind (voting is very easy, just follow this link).
Have a great bank holiday weekend.

What a great event. Love your outfit. Izzy looks so cute in your hat, great pic. #MySundayPhoto
I hope the event has worked well for Oxfam. It was great to be involved.
That is a seriously cute photo! She’s looking very grown up these days.
Congratulations on making the BiBs shortlist!
Thanks Sarah. Here’s hoping this year I have a bit more success Always the bridesmaid and all that!!
Great photo. She would get my vote as poster child for the Oxfam campaign. #MySundayPhoto
Thanks for saying so! I think the picture works well.
Lovely photo. What a cutie.
Glad you like it, it’s a lovely shot isn’t it?
Beautiful portrait photo, looks so good in black and white
Thank you for linking up
Thanks Darren, it works well in both colour and B&W I think but settled for B&W today.
Love that photo, and the colour one I spotted on FB. It suits her despite being a little big. Interesting choice of outfit for you. Not sure I’d dare let N do it – I’d be wearing a dress that probably didn’t fit it I did.
Yeah, I was a bit worried they might start raiding my wife’s wardrobe but my kilt was the worst of it.
That is a beautiful portrait of your girl and I love that you got involved in such a worthwhile cause. Well done on making the BiBs finals – a very worthy place for you 🙂 Good luck.and hope to see you in the finals too
Thakns Victoria. I have to say, she is a natural model. Always does what she’s told for the camera.
Good on you for doing that xx She looks adorable in that photo, Clio lending a helping hand for Coombe Mill
Thanks Clio. Izzy does love ot have her picture taken.
What a stunning photo and I really love the black and white. And what a great cause too!
Glad you like the B&W. The colour image was very good also.
I’m not brave enough to let my daughter dress me, not even for charity. Izzy looks really cute in your hat
She does strike a good pose doesn’t she? Thanks for commenting.
Izzy looks cool in that hat! Frames her face in the photo too! #mysundayphoto
Beautiful photo – she looks adorable in your hat 🙂
Thakns Louise, she does wear it very well doesn’t she?
