We ventured into Pottery Barn Kids yesterday. I'm scared of it. It's like Easter exploded in there.
Sadly, Banana Republic (for adults) looks the same damned way. I hate "spring fashion."
Giles: I'm sure we're all perfectly safe. Dawn: We're safe. Right. And Spike built a robot Buffy to play checkers with. Tara: It sounded convincing when I thought it.
'Dirty Girls'
Spike's Bitches 22: You've got Angel breath
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

If I only had a brain...
So ... why *are* all baby clothes pink or blue?
I once got scolded by a complete stranger. He complimented me on my baby son. I thanked him and said "She's actually my daughter, though." He said, with great indignation, "She's not wearing PINK!"
She was wearing brilliant purple, which I would have considered gender-neutral. I do have to admit, however, that we never put any of her pink ruffly hand-me-downs on our son, so there are limits to our support for androgyny in infancy.

Because books.
Baby Gap, wildly overpriced as it is, usually has a good selection of not pastel or only-pink/blue stuff. One of the baby girls' lines this winter was all red and rich, warm colors. Only on sale, though, or at the outlet. I try not to pay $35 for a sweater for myself, much less a sqaure foot of cotton for a twelve-month-old.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

Me too.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Heh. Newsflash! Goths Hate Spring Fashion Lines!

Well, duh.
Of course, I am wearing black with pink lace trim today, but I still think that no one looks good dressed like an Easter basket.

Now tagless for your comfort.

I just got their catalog yesterday. It's a mini Easter explosion. Too. Much. Pastel.
IOEasterN I saw peep beanie type babies. So. Freakin'. Cute. I might have to whip Owen up a little easter basket with one of them in it.

I've had good luck with Old Navy and the Children's Place. Much less pastels and much more reasonable prices.
Woo for amyparker. Must go send congrats!

Punishingly Intricate
I am not goth and I don't hate spring fashion as a rule but what's in stores now is HIDEOUS to me. I was just in Banana Rep. at lunch trying to exchange something and there wasn't a single thing there I even wanted to try on. I want the deep reds of Baby Gap's winter line! waaahhhh!

I have a $50 Banana Republic card to redeem. I've tried twice, but due to both the spring line and the long wait for the changing room -- no dice.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I remember one spring where bright tropical colors were in, and I was very happy. The current frilly pastel thing, though, needs to DIE DIE DIE.
