Let's get one thing straight: when you were a young child between the age of 1 and 2 years old, the best you could hope for at the end of the day was that your OshKosh B'Gosh wasn't destroyed by mushed carrots. But that's only because your parents weren't Kim Kardashian-West and Kanye West.

North West has already become a Vogue star and sat front row at Paris Fashion Week, all before attending pre-school. Just like mom and dad, her name attracts headlines and cameras, and also like her parents, she's already stocked up her wardrobe with designer threads. But like all kids, North takes different traits from both her parents. When it comes to killing the fashion game, it seems like the youngest West is influenced by her pops. Need proof? Check out these 10 Times North West Dressed Like Kanye.

Bombs Away

North may be a little young to understand the complicated history of the Confederate flag that's on the sleeve of her father's custom bomber jacket, but that doesn't mean she can't appreciate the warming qualities these pieces have been providing in the air and in the streets for a minute now.

Double Denim

Despite denim having its origins in workwear, it's doubtful that North will ever have to apply the rugged fabric to a labor-intensive job for a single day in her life. Besides, there's no way her current denim line-up is heavy on the selvedge—if it was, we can't imagine the diaper rash that would cause.

Cozy Boy/Cozy Baby

If you think about it, the cozy boy movement is really in tune with the needs of a baby; a never-ending desire to be as comfortable and relaxed as possible, even to the point of wearing things that normal people wouldn't understand or permit for public wear? Yes, please. The bonus benefit for North is that while cozy boys still have to go about their daily lives, she can take all of the comfort from plush materials and transition directly into nap time.

Keep It in the Fam

The family that supports each other, stays together. Spotted at the spring/summer 2015 Balenciaga show in Paris this past month, the entire family was kitted out in all-black. However, North literally put on for her dad, rocking a Yeezus tee over a black leather skirt. If you called it a kilt, would it be any different than the Givenchy version her dad wore?

Daughters of Anarchy

Laying claim to the statement, "We the new rockstars," Poppa West has added a custom Saint Laurent motorcycle jacket with a "Yeezus" text across the sleeve to his wardrobe. Recently, while North was on her way out of the Paris with her mother, she was seen rocking a similar leather moto jacket that was equal parts badass and adorable. Too bad the press overlooked this incredible baby garment and instead focused on the false perception that North's mom forgot her in the hotel lobby.

In the Army Now

A menswear expert like Ye knows that military garments have always transitioned into everyday life, and of course he's going to make sure baby North gets her own mini-version of the classic M-65. Even if her life is pampered, the outerwear is tough, and just like pops she adds her own twist to the essential jacket by rolling up the sleeves with the underlayer coming through.

Make the Cypher Complete

LOL at anyone trying to make the claim that Timberlands are a recent trend. Obviously, a dude like Kanye knows that classic six inch wheats are an essential item, and he's clearly trying to ingrain that knowledge in his daughter early on.

Blessed and Distressed

Kanye rocks some of the best denim available; from Dior to Balmain, Ye's denim archive is an exquisite example of luxury jeans. Leave it to Yeezy to rock a pair of ripped up jeans to the runway at London Fashion Week in 2011, back when the look was closer to Hollister leftovers than high fashion ripped up designer denim. Sure Kanye struts with confidence in ripped jeans, but North takes the cake, taking some of her first steps in torn-up baby jeans.

Hoodie Up

Sure, a gray hoodie is a gray hoodie, but stylish guys (and gals) know that you can't underestimate the foundational comfort garment in terms of functionality and versatility. Ye rocks his Balmain version and other gray hoodies with a ton of different looks, and Nori has worn the baby-friendly version like a natural. Something father and daughter can agree on: pull that hood up to keep the paparazzi out.

Coke Boy (and Baby Girl)

Kanye has worked a coked-out look more than you may realize, and while it's not hard to find children's clothes in white, it's not surprising that Kim and Kanye would give their daughter the all-white treatment. It's definitely a clean look for Nori, but Kim and Ye definitely have to make sure she's extra careful with that day's Gerbers.

Also, take note of North's footwear; looks an awful lot like a little girl's version of Visvim's FBT shoe. While Kanye isn't the only one who wears the model from the Japanese label, he certainly is one of the driving forces behind the piece's popularity.
