For 2008 let your little girl declare President Not Princess
In case you didn’t see this recent post on Goody Blog, our President Not Princess shirt is really getting people talking. Especially mothers of little girls…they love this shirt. What I loved about this recent Goody Blog post was the article link to NY Times article by Peggy Orenstein.
This article completely captures the underlying reasons that Polkadot Patch Boutique was created. Read it. As a mother of daughters is was one of the best parenting articles I’ve ever read that supports my disdain of all things pastel pink and princess. This article and blog post encourages us to continue selling baby clothes and gifts that go beyond stereotypical pinks and blues.
Our children’s clothes store prides itself on finding the most colorful, funky, and always non-stereotypical clothes for both girls and boys. It’s often very hard to do…manufacturers just keep on producing the princess and truck clothes and they keep telling us that those are what sell. BUT…we are committed to our store’s philosophy that is why we search high and low to find items that are somehow different, or unusual colors for each of the sexes. Usually that means going agaist the grain, but we know there are LOTS of parents and gift givers that will agree with Peggy Orenstein…we DEFINTITELY do!
So perfect for an election year too…
