I was talking about this with a friend and I don't remember what age I was when I was allowed to select my own outfits for the day. I do however remember my son looking like an explosion in a paint factory some days when he was about nursery age and insisted on dressing himself in mismatching clothes. Don't be shocked, we all have the days when it ain't worth the hassle to say no and having to go through a tantrum of flailing legs and red faced screaming.

And that's just the moms LOL.

LOL!
I don't know what age I was either, or my children.  tho, that being said, there are still days that I choose my 9 and 5 year olds' clothes ... for special trips or when they come to me in a pink skirt and bright orange top.  for the most part they choose their own clothes.

And at the risk of sounding sexist here, why is it girls can choose clothes that match and boys can't?! My friend's daughter was only two months younger than him and chose hers too. She always looked lovely, matching ribbons and everything. Mine looked like all he needed to complete his attire was a half empty wine bottle.

LOL!!!
well, my husband is in his 40s and still has issues matching his clothes, so I wonder if there are some men that NEVER get it.

diane, my DAD is still like that at over 70. I don't think there's much hope for them LOL.  He'll come out thinking he's ready to go out the door and Mum makes him change.
