I have two young girls who fit into that age range and I agree with this comment. They don't often tell me what to wear but they use positive reinforcement ("You look so pretty mummy!") when I chose to wear a skirt or dress. It's actually a little annoying because I deliberately bought all t-shirts and shorts for my older daughter to wear to preschool at age 3.5 and she flatly refused to wear anything that wasn't a skirt or dress, including for pyjamas. It's only now that she's 6 she can see the value of pants, jeans and shorts for playing in. The pink/purple colour choices are pretty much forced on me if I don't want them wearing white or black, but they would choose pink or purple anyway no matter what I preferred.
