I’ve done something that I normally would not admit but I feel like I should share it with you.
Like it’s my duty.
Perhaps, by my admission, someone’s life could be changed. So I’ll be brave…here it goes…
I shop in the girl’s department. For myself.
Seriously! I’d say a size 16 (XL in girls) is about a women’s small & I’ve found some darn good stuff, much cheaper ps, in the girl’s sections. Especially the girl’s department at Target!
Today I was in search of some new sundresses for Sam & when I was looking at sizes I realized that my big girl could now officially fit into an XS in the girl’s section. Toddler/Baby department goodbye.
Here’s the thing though, as I was looking at these adorable Circo girl’s knit dresses I realized that I kind of wanted one too. And they had an XL. Which meant we could be matching. (GASP!)
I said I’d never do it…but alas, I’ve succumb to the inner maternal need to have a matching mommy/daughter outfit.
Here’s the link to the dresses…match if you dare. (PS-that scarf is totally a girl’s target item too)
omg im 30 and i totally shop at the girls department at target too. they have way cuter stuff than the adult section! and fit pretty well too.
you and you girls are too cute! love those dresses.
ps. i was looking at hot995 website for your blogs, and i dont see your name on the drop down menu?
Yeah, I’m not doing it anymore. It was too much to try and do quality content on both sites so I’m just doing LPM (:
aww well i think thats okay bc im obsessed with LPM! im a huge fan <3
You go girl. These pictures of you and Sam are precious.
Love! I also super dig your wellies!
Confession: I like the t-shirts in the boys’ section. For me. I’m 30. Shhh.
Sooo cute! If I could, I totally would.
I LOVE it!! I bought matching striped dresses for my daughter and I this year from Hanna Anderrson.
I think this is soo cute and since it’s not an exact match with the colors it works perfectly! Sam is adorable!
Very cute and since they are different colors it doesn’t seem so matchy matchy! 🙂
Secret – I bought kids Hunter wellies – saved a ton and they look the same (same with my UGGS)! Love the kids section.
All of my workout capris and shorts are size L from the girls section at Target. $9 for the kids size vs. $20 adults size – it’s a no-brainer! Not to mention a couple of bathing suit cover-ups… No shame here!
This is absolutely adorable!!!
Love it!! What a great way to bond with your daughter!!!
I do it too! Haha I love the Candies Line at Kohls for the “big girls” and LOVe clearance!
Haha is this the kind of deep, secret conversations you promised to be posting Natasha? 🙂 You and Sammie are too cute!
Adorable pics! I used to shop at Limited Too when we had one here. The bigger sizes fit me just fine. Pssh, I’d still look there if we had one. No shame in my game 😉
Me too!!! and my secret… Years ago Walmart had a Mary Kate and Ashley (Olsen twins!) line that I was in LOVE with! I still have a trench coat from it that gets so many compliments. I worked a a high end art gallery in college, and sometimes the snooty ladies would compliment my outfit, so I’d tell them exactly where it came from! 🙂 I’m a GapKids fan myself, but now I’m going to start searching Target, too! 🙂
Omgosh, I TOTALLY went to Walmart and bought a Mary Kate & Ashley dip-dyed skirt, I LUVVVED that skirt!
I do the same thing! I have even came out of the dressing room and people ask where I found some item, and I reply “the little girls section”. Love it!
Oh yeah, done that. No shame. (Except one time Susan bought me a large shirt from Target to refashion into a dress for my daughter and I kept it for me instead. Maybe a little shame there.) I like using their cardis as cropped 3/4 sleeve cardis too.
I could only wish to shop in the girls dept.,lol…love the pictures of you two together!
spotted your “big” girl and your office in the newest magalog today! You couldn’t even spot Sam’s face yet I knew it was your space! lol, even at a quick glance!
HA! That’s awesome!!
The sweaters were my gateway drug, too. I have a short sleeved cable knit number that’s perfect for chilly days. Also, Hello Kitty til death.
I’ve been doing the whole shop-in-the-girls-department routine for awhile… My secret? JC freakin Penny’s! They have girls sizes that run bigger than XL (for heavier girls that still should be wearing little girl styles rather than shopping in juniors), and they are forever putting their clothes on sale and clearance. I get most of my tank tops there, as I like the neckline higher, and they usually are in little girl styles 🙂 Now I’m totally going to have to invade the Target girls’ section!!! Thanks, Natasha… you made my day, as usual! 😀
I have definately done this as well!!
HEY NATASHA,
LOVE THE PICS OF YOU AND SAM! BUT WAS WONDERING ABOUT YOUR HUNTER BOOTS. I AM NORMALLY A SIZE 7 SHOULD I GET THEM IN A BIGGER SIZE?
Mine are an 8 and I’m usually a 7 & 1/2 to 8. They have room for socks but I’d say are pretty true to size…get a pair, you’ll love them!!
I do the same thing, I am of the very small chest department, so I buy my bras in the girls section because they are cute and a heck of a lot cheaper then womens bras.
HAHA! I LOVE IT! I secretly shop in the girls section everywhere I go, I’m at least a size 14- I’m a little one. My daughter and I like to match..if I can only get the twins to match their father, it’d be my greatest accomplishment this year!
I love shopping in the girls section!! I have a hard time find clothes that fit well and love Target girls. I know they are expensive, but i like getting my jeans from Abercrombie Kids. They fit so well!!
Oh you are not alone! I totally shop in the girls department all the time! They have way cuter stuff and I’m short and petite so they usually fit me better anyway! Some of the cutest stuff I own came from the little girls department! And their shoes!:O Lets just say I’m totally jealous of my 2 year olds shoes all the time! Wish I wore a smaller size shoe!:)
