Round yon virgin, Mother and Child

This is a small post, more of a rant about the sexism that exist when it comes to children's clothing. Why is it that I can walk into practically any store and buy the Irish twins fancy dresses, casual dresses, sweaters, shirts, blouses all with a Christmas theme, but I go to the boys' section and there's nada, zip? Really would it kill a designer to make a 4-piece outfit at Christmas time with a Christmas tie? Herrooo, as Lala says, it's a clip-on, the rest of the year I could switch it out for another clip-on tie. Wait, I don't even know if I even seen any Christmas ties for boys.

And why can't I find a suit with a red shirt or a vibrant green one? I'm not saying the pants and vests or jacket has to be showered with reindeer or Santa Claus or Baby Jesus in a manager. All I'm asking for is a pair of pants with a vest/jacket paired with a red or green dress shirt. Is that brain surgery? Who works at these fashion houses? Who are the designers and how can I get in contact with them to explain a mom's simple desire? Is it too much to ask when the baby and her older sister are dressed in too die for Christmas dresses at church that Jory be equally as cute in his Christmas attire too? Really is this too much to ask? Apparently so.

When I open my clothing store, I'm going to sell classic items for children at reasonable prices. And at Christmas time, you can dress your whole family Christmasy, boys included.
