A while ago my friend Amanda S. mentioned her husband has Garanimals. At first I didn’t know what this was, but after she explained I thought it was the funniest thing ever. From the Garanimals website:
Garanimals was founded on a simple but unique concept: to help parents and children coordinate outfits easily. Each animal represents a line within the collection. Each of the distinct animal lines consists of mix and match separates, whose color and style coordinate with any piece within that same animal line. Each animal then becomes an identifier for the simple piecing system. - www.garanimals.com
So basically her little hubby has an array of coordinated clothes. He can pick any shirt with any short or pant option and it should match based on the fact that he purchases from a select palate. In his case, red, black and grey.
It totally cracked me up. What I guy thing!
And then I looked at my clothes. I am a simple lady. I generally like solid colors and tend toward black. But it gets worse… So on top of that, I am pretty particular on the cut of my clothing. I have a long torso and things just have to fit me well. So when I find something I like I can go kind of crazy.
And that’s when I realized I too wear grown up Garanimals. I purchase one item in multiple, solid colors and generally can mix and match – the SAME WAY AS CHILDREN DO! I wear Garanimals! I may as well paste a giraffe on each tag and embrace it.

And I even have the grown up equivalent of a onesie. You know when parents throw some sort of primary colored one piece on their kid and calls it a day? My grown up onesie is a black dress. It works with heels, sandals, tights and painted toes. And I can throw a scarf on or just some fun bracelets. Yeah – it’s my go to grownup onesie. And I have stocked up on this particular grown up Garanimal:
My black dress Garanimals.
Oh well. I can’t give it up now.
