For the past couple of months I have been learning a lot about what I like, and what I don’t like when it comes to my son’s clothes. I am far from a clothes snob, but I am pretty amazed at how impractical so many of the clothes really are? So many items I look for don’t seem to exist….am I really the only one that could be shopping for them?? Is it possible?
Sweatshirts for example. Why are there no crew neck sweatshirts of newborns?? Why must all of them have a hood? Yes, sometimes I throw it up in place of a hat, but usually it just bunches around the poor guys neck in his infant carrier. A crew neck just makes sense! I just can’t seem to find one anywhere. Oh wait, yes I have…I saw a great sweat suit at Denny’s, a ridiculously overpriced children’s store. This particular sweatsuit (although extremely soft) was $77!! In the spirit of full disclosure it was on sale for 40%, but even that is way too much for a sweatsuit that will get crapped on. To be honest though…I am almost ready to go buy it just so I can have just one NORMAL sweatshirt. But then I’d just be spiting myself..
Let’s talk oxford type shirts. They are all over the place this Easter, but why the heck aren’t they onesie’s? A onesie just makes sense when it comes to little boys. First of all, a regular one won’t stay tucked in, and tucked out it just looks messy. Why aren’t more shirts for babies onesie’s??? Again…they just make sense.
What does a girl have to do to find a spring jacket for her little one? Toddler jackets?? Sure…but baby’s need jackets too. Once the weather gets more mild I will be able to take off the cover from the infant seat. But that doesn’t mean he doesn’t need a coat! Yes, they exist…I’ve seen a jean jacket at the Gap (didn’t have the right size), and one at The Children’s place (which I didn’t buy yet), but there aren’t many. Why??
What’s up with all the Carter’s shirts have zippers that go way too high up the neck? All it does is dig into his face. So much so that I am left to just keep it mostly unzipped. Cute? Yes! Practical? No!
So I will ask again….am I the only one who feels this way? I must be, or the things I am looking for would be more available.
Help!
Ok…random thought over…
You aren’t alone. I’ve asked many of these questions!
I did find some crewneck sweatshirt at Kohls. They were soft and I think Kohls brand of clothing.
I will have to take a look!I was there and didn’t see any..but worth another look
It is possible they be done with them for the season! I saw tons of summer stuff already out.
I think perhaps you should develop a line for baby Christian and any future baby R* kids in the future!
I totally should!!
You are def not the only one! The same things drive me crazy. Also the fact that for little girls there are a , million different options but for boys there are a couple and every store has pretty much the exact same crap :/ and a lot of it isn’t even cute. Our poor little boys ?
I totally agree…little girl clothes take the cake! I am noticing some cute summer boy clothes…but nothing like the girls. Like you said..exact same crap!
If uyou have a Walmart near you they had all kinds of crew neck sweat shirt for babies at about 4 bucks a piece!
I do! I will have to take a look! :)Thank you!
True the little girls clothing has more options, but it’s still a pain in the butt for a lot of them due to where the snaps/zippers are placed. I’m also on the lookout for decent jackets, and have resorted for a lot of stuff getting sizes 12months or larger. She’s a long and bigger baby, so it doesnt hang on her too much, and she’ll grow into it eventually, but still. Good luck on your search!
i’ve never thought about the crew neck sweatshirts, i’ll admit. i think they’d be a pain to put on a little baby. the oxford onesies would be awesome though! we have some polo shirt onesies that we found at babies r us that are cute, but i’d totally get some oxford onesies if they were around. ditto on the jackets!
also, i agree there is way better selection for baby girl clothes. not fair! we pretty much quit shopping at our local kohls….they have 3x the girls’ clothes as little boys’.
