They just don't look right on young ladies like Ashley and Paige. And Ashley is the same way. Has cami's to under most of her shirts. These kids have dress codes in school and the clothes these days don't fit in with the dress code which means we end up spending more money to make the clothes approprate for school. I am not ready to see what the fashion is when Sweet Pea gets to be a tween and older. I was happy with jeans and a T-shirt most of the time. It was a fight to get me to wear a dress.Busy Texas Deehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18245762117492235343noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12752423.post-77827364891643406352010-03-11T03:43:15.645-05:002010-03-11T03:43:15.645-05:00Before I go any further...

Losing a tooth is an important part of the passage and contrary to many peoples beliefs the Tooth fairy is NOT the Rock! She is a cute Lil Ole Grandma fairy who bring wonderful trinkets and gold!!! (Well this day and age it is a non edible form of Lettuce! LOL) <br />So onto the Fashion Crisis at hand! I so feel your pain!!! And mine is only 4!! We Shop @ Children's Place and Target and Walmart (with a picky hand) Why people wanna turn their babies into fashion models I won't ever understand! I HATE shopping for myself! I am a big girl in all the wrong places!! While we are informing said fashion and show designers in on how things really are outside of the Mannequin fantasy world they live in! We need to tell them that big girls don't always have giant ta ta's!!!! If you find any solution's that may be useful please share!!!Keri Alanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11230805727917316652noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12752423.post-16671711273701673302010-03-10T19:32:50.844-05:002010-03-10T19:32:50.844-05:00I have resorted to buying dresses online for my gi...I have resorted to buying dresses online for my girls, because nothing in the stores is decent. Hello, they are 5 and 8, do they really need to run around in a strapless sundress with cutouts? Is it really that much harder to add a sleeve? <br /><br />It's very frustrating. Another problem is that the shirts often aren't long enough, and my 8-yr-old is flashing her belly all over the place. And in summer, it's too hot to layer. So when I find a cute LONG shirt, I snap it up.<br /><br />I feel your pain!Denisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13071122928324523731noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12752423.post-53419282157449658792010-03-10T15:46:11.207-05:002010-03-10T15:46:11.207-05:00I am right there with ya Hope.

Dresses, the girls are big on those. I just got 2 for Kelsey last night on ebay. Less than 20 bucks for both. I think the shipping cost more than the dress. I believe I paid just over 15 for both. That's what I've ended up having to do cause I can't find anything good in stores. And when I do find something good, I can't afford it. lol! So consignment shops and ebay are my friends.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12752423.post-43987089436383358752010-03-10T14:21:32.618-05:002010-03-10T14:21:32.618-05:00Well first off, congratulations to Vitt.

One of the only times in life it's fun to lose a body part. ;)<br /><br />Secondly, I was looking through my closet the other day and thought of Paige. I was going through the things that were non-maternity and thinking it might be fun to send her a box. Problem? I realized all my clothes have turned into 'mom clothes' sometime in the last two years. Nothing like high-cut jeans and shapewear to make you feel sexy. <br /><br />I totally understand about shopping, though. Always having been a bit bigger than most girls my age, and having boobs and hips, even in the 90's it was hard to find appropriate choices to wear to church and school :( It's one of the things that truly terrifies me about having a daughter. I'm sorry but we don't shop in the ProsiTOT sections. :SCotyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12204743444229746658noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12752423.post-18321552850879989732010-03-10T13:16:05.585-05:002010-03-10T13:16:05.585-05:00I for one, like wearing skirts and dresses that at...I for one, like wearing skirts and dresses that at least reach my knees. I also love the ballet flats ... otherwise I don't have that many dress shoes that aren't sandles. Thankfully, I don't have to worry about it for a few years and maybe by the time Caitlyn is old enough, the fashions will have toned down (doubtful but one can always hope).Danihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08360314407439787462noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12752423.post-8980499803690072562010-03-10T12:10:30.251-05:002010-03-10T12:10:30.251-05:00You know what?

(If I do that, it really WILL be hanging!) <br />I was trying to find a gown for a wedding last year - if I had no boobs and no hips, I'd have been fine. Of course, I could have opted to wear my great grandmother's mother of the bride dress, but I wanted to look a wee bit fashionable, as aunt of the bride!<br />It's the same for work - clothes that cover you appropriately look like their target audience is twice my age!<br />Come on, now, just a little modesty for those of us who blush easily, okay???<br /><br />AND, to The BOY: OMG, you lost a tooth???? Hope the Tooth Fairy brought you a nice little something and left it under your pillow!Krys72599https://www.blogger.com/profile/13794562208024400426noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12752423.post-10733378620210318362010-03-10T10:42:35.396-05:002010-03-10T10:42:35.396-05:00It's not just older children's clothing ei...It's not just older children's clothing either. When Emali went from the infant-toddler section to the 5+ section, I about had a heart attack. Gone were all the cute smocked dresses. In their place were hooker boots, mini-skirts, and tube tops! Tube tops! For a 5 year old!<br /><br />Both of my girls regularly scream at me because I refuse to buy them anything made by Miley Cyrus, The Olsen Twins, etc. Sorry Miley, but my 6 year old is NOT a hoochie momma and will NOT wear a mini skirt!<br /><br />I have found that if I want to get them age appropriate clothing I have to be willing to pay upwards of $20 dollars for a t-shirt and drag my butt to places like Justice, etc. <br /><br />Thanks for the insight that it's not going to get any better as they get older. I just wish designers would cater to normal children, instead of celebrities' children.Jenn Ricehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12066159889891325627noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12752423.post-47494776646635234062010-03-10T10:28:10.916-05:002010-03-10T10:28:10.916-05:00Its not just the teen clothes that designers think...Its not just the teen clothes that designers think everyone is a size 2-Im a bit large chested & have the same issues as Paige! Ive become great friends with my tailor so clothes will fit that region a little better than what comes off the rack!<br /><br />And no you arent old fasioned. Last summer we had about 4 events to attend & I couldnt find a single dress for our 18 yr old that wasnt either strappy/strapless or too short-like mid thigh or both!!<br /><br />I think we should become designers.Ronihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17840068585299914747noreply@blogger.com
