Waiting for Mama:엄마 마중 is a very short story, the text of which was first published in a Korean newspaper in 1938. Later illustrated and made into a children’s book, Waiting for Mama contains some of the most beautiful illustrations I have seen. I discovered the book this week at the library, and I’ll be purchasing it very, very soon.

Rather than recreate the characters’ garments for a literal Get the Look, I decided to instead draw inspiration from the artwork and bring you a selection of clothing which matches the colors and hues found throughout the book. I hope you enjoy it — and I hope you’re able to read the book soon so you can discover the heart-tugging story yourself!

When I was a single working professional, I sometimes babysat on the weekends and after office hours. Two of the delightful children I spent a good deal of time with were being raised in the United States by a British father and an American mother. It was during this time that they introduced me to the Charlie and Lola show. I probably shouldn’t admit this in public, but I started collecting the DVDs for myself shortly afterward, and told myself that someday I’d dress my future children like Charlie and Lola.

Here’s how you can get the look for your own little Charlie or Lola!
