Shopping yesterday was...exhausting. And we didn't even get all the school supplies. How is Wal-Mart out of spiral bound notebooks...I don't get it.
Anyway...
At first we were going to go to the thrift store, and see where we were after that. My mom asked if we wanted to go to a consignment shop instead, and I am so glad we did. While it is a little bit more than Goodwill, the product can be in better shape. This particular shop only takes name brand, and is in a more upper class community.
We found some great items: two pairs of pants, a long sleeve shirt and two sweatshirts. And one of the sweatshirts, a Gap Product (RED) hoodie. It is lined and nice and fuzzy. Boo didn't want to take it off...to bad it was 80 outside. lol
Then we headed to the mall...on a Saturday...during Back to School...not the smartest move ever. But, I promised Boo we could go to either Limited Too or Justice, and a promise is a promise...especially to the 6 year old that remembers EVERYTHING.
We stopped into see my friend at Old Navy, and ended up getting things there too. Want to settle a debate between my mom and me? Look at these, and tell me if you think they are more pajama's or are okay for school. I am not telling you my opinion...I will in a couple days. I would love to see what you think though...
Justice...that place was a ZOO!! The line went all the way to the hall and the store was a mess. I gave them the benefit of the doubt because it is back to school and they were short staffed (I flat out asked it was that bad).
But, Boo tried on 9 pairs of jeans, and we found ONE that fit right, and wouldn't fall off her if she walked a step. And of course they are the only pair that were not on sale. Thank goodness for 20% coupons!
I wish I could have gotten everything in that store. I love it. They even had track suits...Boo loves her some track suits. Maybe next month. Boo did get the hat she has been asking for, and a new Jonas Brother's t-shirt.
All in all, we did pretty good. I have to go to Target to get the notebooks and a couple other things for school, but clothes we are good for now. Next month we will pick up some more jeans, and maybe a track suit...

The pants look like comfy pants that could be worn to school. I have managed to keep my daughter out of Justice and Limited Too so far. But she is turning 7 in a couple of weeks so I doubt that will last much longer! It just seems like every time I look in those stores they are packed like you said. Although the t-shirts are cute, maybe I'll be in there sooner than later.
I think they are ok for school... Now if they weren't rolled up I would say PJ's... It's the roll that changes everything. :)
I think that these look very appropriate for school! I do agree with Jody, though....the roll is what takes them from PJs to pants. However, I am not necessarily the best person to ask, 'cause my weekend wardrobe frequently blurs the line between pajamas and regular pants (and they are usually interchangeable and therefore allow me to skip the whole "getting dressed" step). I would like to say that this will change after Peter and I get married, but it probably won't.
Anyway....I give these the thumbs up for school. And I promise not to send my future children to school in PJs :).
