trying to kit my dd out for autum and winter.

shes a tall 3 year old.

bloody hell the cheaper shops like tescos and matalan, don't half sell some horrible clotes for girls, by that i mean things that aare far too grown up and liz mcdonald for a 3 year old.

i wanted pink and white long sleeved tees, matalan had some, but they are had a big cut out bit on the back with two big bow, exposing some of the back.

also things like all over sequined leggings.

so to buy the clothes i want for my dd i am forced to buy from dearer shops

wear as the boys clothes, i know theres only so much you can do with boys clothes, but are all lovely dinosaur tee and stuff, i think you could clothe them fairly easiily from tescos matalan etc

Tabitha, completely agree, my kids live in sandals and crocs except when we visit the UK. On one recent visit (I think last Christmas but may actually have been last summer, makes more sense of the welly shortage) we figured what we really needed was wellies. Of course, finding wellies in winter was practically impossible - in the end, the only ones we found that did not cost an arm and three legs were pink and sparkly. Fortunately he was more than happy to wear pink sparkly wellies - but why on earth would a shop (think it was Matalan or something similar) only sell 'girlie' wellies??
