Ever since Margareta could dress herself at the age of two, she had a very distinct style that was all her own. She was very deliberate about what she wore (or didn’t wear!).

One of her first self-styled trends was to rummage her brother Michael’s drawers and decided that his pajama tops, swim trunks, and soccer socks were the look she was going for. Other times, it was just a ultra-cool artistic combination of her own clothes and accessories.

Many times, less was more, and she chose to wear as little clothes as possible. Naked was preferable at times, but occasionally she liked to accessorize with a skirt or cape.

Costumes were always a favorite of Margareta’s. Sometimes she would create her own combinations, but other times she would just enjoy a costume for what it was.

As she got close to four, her eye for style sharpened and she pushed the boundaries of her creativity. One day, she invented her own take on “the layered look” and put on as many clothes as her little body could wear at one time. Quite an impressive sight in person (she could barely walk and her arms hung like a sumo wrestler)!

Her last trend was her most spectacular. She channeled Michael Jackson, Elton John, and, of course, Margareta. The look defies any attempt at description or commentary. The photos speak for themselves.

Miss you sweet girl!
