Why do stores never stock their clothing for the appropriate season?  We are going to a family birthday today, so I went to some stores last night to find my 2 girls new cute outfits.  Everything in the stores was sleeveless… cause you know its going to be all of 46 degrees today! 

Now for adults, this might not be too much of problem, because you generally know what size you will be without much variation from season to season.  But for kids it is so unpredictable- I don’t dare buy ahead for future seasons when they are stocking the appropriate clothing- or I will end up with cute clothes for the season that are too big or too small!  Neither of my girls are age/size matching – i.e. 6 month old is in 9 month clothing right now and the (almost) 9 year old is in size 7’s, so I can’t buy clothes too far ahead!  I was about to tear my hair out trying to find something decent that they wouldn’t freeze in!  Is it just me?

I don’t have kids, but when my youngest sister was born (she’s 14 years younger than me) I remember my mom complaining about the exact same thing.  Frustrating!

I HATE this too!!  All the stores in the UK have summer clothing in, and it’s barely spring yet!
