Little Girls...
...should stay little as long as possible. Go read Everyday Mommy's post and sign your agreement to her comments. The goal is 100, I'm sure she'll get that and more!

Thanks for sharing this. I saw that they mentioned Lands End and Gymboree as places to support and find modest apparel, but they also listed Old Navy which surprised me. I admit, I have bought clothes for my husband and my sons (most recently about 4 pairs of sweatpants on clearance for about a buck a pair, woo-hoo!) but I have always stayed away from the girls department because all they seemed to have were shorty shorts and tube tops.
Maybe they are one of these places that you have to look through and sort the modest from the hootchie-mama? I do remember them selling bermuda shorts this year but never actually bought any. My daughters prefer to wear skorts and as long as we can find modest lengths, I will indulge them. When we can't anymore, I hope Old Navy will still be carrying their bermuda shorts. I just don't have the time to hunt and gather when it comes to clothes. I would prefer to go to one place that had a good sized selection of modest clothing and reasonable prices. I know....waking up now!
Are there any other places that you can recommend?
I am a die-hard Old Navy shopper, so I must rise to their defense! :)
Actually, they had some really modest skirts for girls this year (hippy-like) and I got Gemma a pair of skorts just like her Land's End ones. Of course they also have "other" clothes that I wouldn't buy, but they did NOT have any little girl's t-shirts with obnoxious sexual overtones...
It is hard to "hunt and gather" as you say, but it can be fun too! ($1 sweat pants?? that's awesome!) I actually enjoy clothes shopping (*guilty grin*) and am trying to match my kids' preferences (comfy comfy) with my tastes and modesty.
I think the girls will be wearing lots of leggings and comfy bright knit dresses....
You and my sister-in-law! I don't know why I didn't get the shopping gene but I didn't. I don't hate it, I just can't say that I enjoy it. Don't get me wrong, I like buying cute clothes for my kids. I just don't like the actual shopping for them part!
Schooling is going well. We are getting into a nice routine after working out some kinks. Sean and I are both down with a little bug right now and so it takes more of an effort to be interested, but we are hanging in there. There have been some nice surprises. Master Firstborn loves his Texas History. We spent some of our day Friday surfing for information on Cabeza de Vaca. This week it is La Salle. We are planning to make a trip down to San Antonio to see the missions this fall. He should really get a kick out of that.
I'm gonna have to agree about finding modest clothes at O.N. for my girls (and me, for that matter.) We have gotten some awesome modest outfits, like skorts, of a decent length there, and shirts, leggings, my girls don't like jeans either. And the prices are good. And if you can avoid the nasty-gross-butt-crack-reavealing-low rise pants and tube tops I like there women's clothes.
