Any parent will tell you that toddlers certainly have a unique perspective on life. These brave moms let their little ones take over their closets for a day to pick out their outfits, with hilarious results.

Last month I wrote a post about how I let my toddler, Rockwell, dress me for a week. (Check out the video below for how it all went down!) It was a lot of fun, and moms across the country started trying it out. A lot of people have asked me if I knew it would be such a big story, and the truth is, I had no idea! However, I love that motherhood made the front pages of BuzzFeed and Yahoo News for something so positive and upbeat. After all, it's so easy to get bogged down by the everyday struggles of motherhood, so it was refreshing to bring some silliness back into our lives.

As a follow up, I wanted to share some of the other amazing moms who were brave enough to hand over their boss hats to their little ones and see which hat they put them in. The results are hilarious, silly, and wonderful. And don't forget to keep the trend going by using #ToddlerStylist on Instagram and Twitter!
