Glitter dresses by halves

This morning Glitter picked out a pink shirt and pink skirt to wear. She also grabbed two pink socks, as it is a school day.

First she sits down and puts the shirt over her head, but doesn't pull it down yet. Then she tries to put one sock on her right foot. But the shirt gets in her way, so she takes it off. Then she puts the sock on her foot. The other sock lying beside her is ignored in favor of the skirt. She sticks both feet in the skirt and pulls it up to her knees. There it stops. Now it's the other sock's turn. She starts to put that sock on her right foot (that already has a sock). Oops. That's silly. She then puts the sock on the left foot. The skirt is still only half on, but she is still sitting, so she turns her attention to her shirt. She puts the shirt on over her head, and this time pulls down to her neck. Then she abandons the shirt, half on, to stand up and pull her skirt up. Next, she twirls the shirt around her neck to find the tag, then twirls it more to put the tag in back. Finally, she thrusts both arms through their respective armholes at the same time.

Ta da! Glitter is now dressed.

Here's a picture of her outfit taken later in the day.
