Why don't you all dress like me?

I am totally in favor of unisex kiddie clothes. Girls and boys alike should be allowed to wear the prettiest outfits and carry the nicest accessories. Free the boys from dull clothes and all of us from ugly prints and gender-specific inscriptions! Smock dresses and pink silk blankets to the people, I say!
- Antonia, you're forgetting the comfort aspect. Mom got me dressed up in one of those smock dresses when I was about six months. I may have looked absolutely stunning, but I hurt my nose on the floor trying to crawl. Dresses are useless for crawling babies. And blankets too. They become completely obsolete the second you start moving around on your own - pink or not.
- Oh...? Ok... But you know, I'm nowhere near crawling yet. Thus, my wardrobe features irresistable - and still very comfortable - smock dresses. Like this one.And this. And this quilted pink silk blanket. As the weather turns colder, smock becomes less and less practical, though. Fortunately, there are good substitutes. Like this flower-patterned and Japan-inspired outfit.And this long-sleeved wall-paper-patterned onesie.Or this striped and purple one.And the soft helmet hat helps keeping the cold away.You've got to admit, it's infant unisex at its best!
