Disclosure: This is a sponsored review by the superb clothing company Princess Awesome, but all thoughts, opinions, and ecstatic daughters are entirely my own.

Let me let you in on a little secret: I absolutely adore brands which promote strong, brilliant, givin’ not a care for gender norms kiddos. And when they happen to make gorgeous clothing, it’s even better. (And no, those two things are not at odds.)
I absolutely adore Princess Awesome.
Did you think I invented that company’s name? (My family totally did.) I did not- that honor is co-given to founders Rebecca Melsky and Eva St. Clair back in 2013, when Melsky sought to find STEM-related and traditionally (read: commercially) “boy” themed clothing…for her dress-loving daughter.
After a wildly successful Kickstarter campaign, they brought their tiny business into a full-fledged (Chicago!) factory operation- and have legions of fans.
Here’s why I love it:
Wouldn’t it be cool if you could bridge the STEM gender gap simply by keeping math, science, transportation (and yeah, even pirates) firmly in your little gal’s view via her clothing options? (Because if you don’t think girls see pink n’ glitter on one side of the aisle and stripes n’ cars on the other and decide accordingly superearlyon, then you are mistaken, pal.)
Plus, this line of clothing is durable. And bright. And yeah, even fancy (when the mood calls for it).
Suzy chose this one:
Guys, the Train Dress. It’s ridiculously soft, insanely bright, has deeeeep pockets, and even comes with fabric trains sewn on the ends of the sashes- just perfect for sitting (…relatively still) in a quiet moment and driving them along the railroad track seams.
After a scientific experiment, we discovered that, when twirled, it fans out like a pinwheel of excellence.
She loves it.
Actually, that’s incorrect.
She’s bonkers for it.
So she wants to share it.
For a limited time, go browse Princess Awesome’s wonderful catalog of infant, little gal, and even adult (pirate head scarf, anyone?) empowering fanciness and enjoy 15% off (plus a free downloadable coloring book!) when you use the code AWESOMELOLLYGAG.
(Because I think we can all agree: being awesome is completely awesome.)
