Really amusing article on back-to-school shopping for a tween girl

We have a hell of a time finding clothes for Tori as well- we've been able to still find shirts and some dresses at the Limited Too, but she's had to look for jeans elsewhere. The last time we looked at our Old Navy all they had was low-rise pants and shorts in Tori's size. A friend recommended buying jeans in the boys department, but we haven't gotten that desperate...yet.

Lol- I like this one:

"It's a comfort to know that if your child can't come up with her own insolent remarks, clothing manufacturers are there to help."

You think it is hard? My sister just had to do school shopping with for her 11-year-old daughter with c/d-cups.

Except for the early boob development she is otherwise built like a lanky 11-year-old. Apparently not an easy assignment.

Yikes! Like the article said, all the 'tweener bras are padded, almost without exception. (There is the assumption that all 'tweens are flat chested and want to have huge bazookas). We solve that problem by taking her to , believe it or not, Victoria's Secret, which has a junior section and they are great at fitting the kids properly and appropriately. (At least here in Spokane- I can't speak for any of the stores in less conservative areas).
