    Default Hate shopping for my boy

    Why do boys clothes suck so much? I have been to just about every store in Brisbane looking for something nice that isn't shorts and a tshirt or something ugly with a great big print or logo on it for his Christmas photos. I get so depressed looking at boys clothes especially since I'm having another boy. I always get frustrated shopping for DS that i always end up leaving empty handed. If anyone had suggestions for some non daggy boys clothes that are a bit spesh particularly for a 2 year old i would be so grateful. No more tshirts and shorts though! lol.

    Do you know anyone that could make something for you?

    I know what you mean though. I got frustrated at the price of the dress shorts I wanted for DS so have started making him a pair myself. Much cheaper especially since I was able to draft the pattern myself. I've also found some really nice fabric I want to make him a shirt out of.

    I know!!!!!!

    I like big w - their baby stuff goes to size 2 often and some of their boys clothes are adorable.

    And while I don't love winnie the pooh, I've found Disney (particularly featuring WtP) is adorable, though you pay extra for the character. But I Iike them.

    Oh and target at the moment have cute as $10 top and short sets for boys, light blues, striped, one has a whale on the front. I bought them all!!!!!! Cos they had soft shorts, not Boardies, but like cute little fabricy shorts!!!

    Alternatively look at pajamas, go the size smaller as pjs are baggy, but I've found some cute outfits - though obviously pjs when worn together but work well as separates.

    Hmmm, not sure where you live but.. have you tried mothercare at gardencity? Its fairly new (only has been open for about 3months) They have gorgeous outfits there and yes they do have ones with logo's etc but they also have dressy clothes too. So cute!!! but a little $$$$ Good luck! Otherwise I found ds some great long sleeved colard shirts for weddings etc from pumpkin patch at Carindale (not usually a fan of PP) Have you tried some little boutiques? There is 1 at coorparoo junction with some very cute things. Not sure how old your son is but they all have clothes for all ages (not sure about the coorparoo 1 though)

    DS = 4 <> 2 = DD

    That's the thing everything that is a bit nice for going out is jeans, tshirts, button up shirts. A guy in djs was showing me the industry boys with mini business pants, suits, ties and vests... I was like errr no no that kind of dressed up I still want him to look like a child.

    My favourite shop is seed and I'm so sad because their range atm is crap for boys and DS is growing out of their cute baby clothes now he is more a "boy". I ended up walking out of DJ's with one purebaby check button up shirt I was very disenchanted.
