I know I am old but I am not from the hoop skirt era.
I have been watching ads for back to school on television and from the merchants that sell kids clothing.
Wow, it is really hard to put your finger on the pulse of todays fashion for little kids. If you were a grandmother wanting to send an "I care" package to the grands for back to school...what would you buy?
I have seen red knit jackets with contrast banding like 90 somethings wear paired with ruffled chiffon skirts over pink tights and accessoried by lots of strands of beads. I see lace tops with jeans and a lot of bellies hanging out. The boys are pictured in plaid flannel shirts over tee shirts that say...I'm with Stupid..or Your mother wears..(never mind) and some little lads are paying as much for their sneakers as I did for my last car.
Now these kids all look nice, because kids do always look nice because kids are always cute and I understand that this is their time to shine and make their statement about fashions...but I do remember our girls wearing cute dresses back to school and then shorts and tops that kinda went together.
Alright. I just read what I wrote and I do sound old.
Anybody sending a package back to the grands? How are you doing?
