Sophie's Funky Easter Sunday Look thanks to George at Asda and an Easter Egg Hunt Competition

Dressing babies and toddlers is a piece of cake because they will make anything look ultra-cute and they're always designed with crawling/jumping/wriggly/highly active wearers in mind. Fast forward ten years and you'll realise how hard it is to dress tween girls. Sophie is a perfect example. Aged 10, she is nearly as tall as me and wears size 6 shoes - in fact, we laughed our heads off yesterday because we put our bare feet together and realised her feet are now bigger than mine. Depending on the brand, she usually needs age 14 clothes.

The trouble is, Sophie is 10, not 14, so I don't want her wearing the ultra-sexy "young woman" fashion that a lot of clothing manufacturers market. I don't want her dressing up as a goth either or wearing high heels or ultra skinny jeans. I want "little girl" fashion because she's not even into her teens yet. Oh and it has to be wearable too, for all the bike-riding, climbing on the climbing frame and running around in the park that she'll be doing. Too much to ask for ? Well, a lot of the time, yes.

So when we were contacted by George clothing at Asda to ask if I'd like to enter a blogger challenge to come up with our perfect Easter Sunday outfit spending just £20, I instantly saw loads of gorgeous things that would be perfect for 2-year-old Pierre or 7-year-old Juliette but didn't hold out much hope for Sophie as I headed off to look at the Older Girls Clothes.

Well, as you can see from the picture, I found the perfect outfit. It's cute and girly without being overly babyish and is really wearable, not to mention easy to wash. If you're thinking that it's not very "Easter Sunday best", Easter Sunday for us is spent on a big Easter Egg hunt, running around a muddy park trying to find eggs up trees and under bushes so a pretty dress just wouldn't work ! The Hello Kitty top and leggings come together as a set, costing a very reasonable £12, and the trainers are just £6. The bunny ears were our own and the stuck-out tongue is pure Sophie !

That left £2 which was more than enough to buy a pair of Spiderman socks for Pierre that he was incredibly proud of !

But I have an extra piece of good news for you all. If you look closely at the pictures of Sophie's outfit, you will see that we, along with the nineteen other bloggers taking part in the challenge, had a secret number of coloured eggs to hide in the picture. You can either have a wild guess or go hunting down the other 19 blog posts to count them and enter your answer in the Rafflecopter form below. The first 5 to guess correctly/closest to the total number will win £20 vouchers from George. 

Good luck !
