Watermelon dresses might be going viral, but according to Bored Panda, one mom in Turkey was way ahead of the trend.
Ayla Chaglar uses food and plants to create stylish optical illusions of "dresses" for her 3-year-old daughter Stefani — and she's been documenting it all on Instagram for almost a year.
And people love it. Her account, seasunstefani, has over 22,000 followers.
"Since I was 10 it was my desire to be a fashion designer, unfortunately it never came true," Chaglar, who is a professional painter, told INSIDER via email.
But when Chaglar became a mother, things changed.
"She was almost three years old when we started to create those dresses. Once I tried to make such kinds of photos, I was very surprised when I realized that she enjoyed doing it even more than I did," Chaglar said.
This mother-daughter duo loves their shared hobby.
"I am very proud of my girl," Chaglar said. "We love to see how people around the world post similar pictures with their kids or even themselves."
Stefani's "outfits" range from casual to fancy. Here, Chaglar transformed lettuce into a gown for her daughter.
"It is pure joy to make a photoshoot with her. Her face expressions are hilarious. She strikes her poses spontaneously. And all I need is just to press the button at the right time," Chaglar told INSIDER.
"We do it because she loves modeling and I prefer not taking ordinary pictures. I think that we are a good team," Chaglar said.
"I want people to never forget that little things create happy moments," Chaglar told INSIDER.
If we're being honest, Stefani's outfits of the day totally have us beat.
