We went shopping today. Sophia desperately needed new clothes for Spring. But, Sophia is very particular about what she wears. She wants clothes that feel a certain way and look a certain way. She likes clothes that "have a lot going on" (her words). She also likes clothes that are soft with no itchy seams, tight sleeves or waistbands. She loves dresses.
Luckily, a few years ago we discovered the Hannah Andersson brand, whose clothes generally meet all of her requirements. The clothes are colorful, soft, and not itchy. They also make beautiful dresses, which Sophia calls her "princess dresses." We have also fallen in love with their super soft jammies, that do not seem to stain, despite daily breakfast disasters. The only problem is that the clothes are really expensive.
Then, we discovered the Hannah Andersson Outlet in Albertville about 45 minutes from Minneapolis. So, today Sophia, Juliet and I made the trek to the Outlet mall. I carefully planned the entire trip so that I could maximize on shopping and minimize on kid meltdowns. I packed lots of snacks, we only went to three stores, stayed one hour, ate a picnic lunch and ran-around, and then headed home. It was a total success! The kids were great. Sophia and I picked out some super cute clothes, we got some new jammies for Juliet, and everyone had fun.
