My girls have hit that point where cutesy monogram things do not appeal to them. Argghhhh! Drives me crazy! They have always been my inspiration, so now I have to get really creative. My oldest is 9 and is very tall. In general she wears at least a 10, if not a 12 or 14. I have the hardest time finding clothes for her. I've been on this rant before, so I won't go on too long. I do not believe that she needs to wear anything with a design plastered across the butt or anything that says "sexy" or "hot". She is 9 - she is not sexy. She is still cute. I won't go on because I will bore you to death with my frustration.
Luckily one of my customers who also has an older daughter came in with 2 pairs of sweatpants for me to monogram. I absolutely loved this idea and stole it for my girls. They love them and I still get to put them in monogram items. I found the "french terry" pants at Target on sale for $6. I even got a few pairs off the clearance rack for only $4. I sewed a big monogram on them and success! As our kids get older, I know we all choose our battles. Luckily, this is not a battle item. Glad I found a cheap alternative without something trashy splashed on it. xoxo
