The Cost Of Children's Clothing.

So, I am sitting here early this morning having my one cup of coffee and reading my special addition Real Simple Family magazine...which is really sad because I have had it since August and it is almost Thanksgiving! I am looking at the children's clothing and it dawns on me: These magazines are clearly written for families and people who live in the Northeast...like New York City...not Oklahoma for sure. They have a picture of a simple cotton dress with cute leggings. The dress is $72 and the leggings are $38. I'm sorry, but, here in Oklahoma I think I am safe to say we would not pay $38 for a pair of leggings for our daughter that will outgrow them in less than 6 months. We would go to Walmart and pay $5...or maybe to Children's Place and pay $12...but $38 is out of the question. The dress should be $38...at the most. What happened to "Our Nation is in a Economic Crisis"? $38 would almost fill up my mini van. Well, there you have it. My 2 cents for the day.
