Shopping for clothes-venting

November 1, 2004

I know it is petty of me to vent about something materialistic like

clothes, especially when there are so many more important concerns

(like correction & sleeping etc.). But lately it is really getting

to me.

I went shopping (again) on my lunch hour today and I was nearly in

tears in the mall. is 23/7 with the s and it truly

rules out 90% of the cute outfits available for girls. is in

daycare full-time so I must have outfits that have no feet in them,

snap in the crotch and go over her head. It is too much trouble to

have my daycare lady take off the shoes, nor do I want her to, even

for a minute, to get dressed. So that rules out all the cute

cotton onzies with the cotton stretch pants that go over the onzie

(perfect for daycare). All cheaper stores sells these type of

outfits, Wal-Mart, Target, etc. It also rules out all pants what-so-

ever because even if they have snaps in the crotch, the elastic waste

would have to fit over her head/shoulders. I have found dresses with

the onzie underneath sets, but this is too unrealistic for daycare.

So I have been limited to the s cotton play outfit that snaps

up both legs to the crotch and all the way up the chest. Quite

frankly, I'm tired of looking at them and ALWAYS looks like she

is wearing PJ's.

I finally have my little girl and I can't dress her in all the cute

outfits that are everywhere. Even Gymboree has some adorable

jumpers, but they are way out of my price range. I go through all

the stores looking and saying " how cute! can't wear that " , " This is

adorable! can't wear that " . Today, I found unlimited cute outfits

and every one of them were ruled out for some reason or another.

I have to imagine that for all of you who have boys, it is worse.

Can you only wear overalls, or PJ like outfits?

Again, I am sorry to wine about something the least of importance,

but I can't help it.

Thanks for listening. Can anyone relate?
