Now I do not know where others shop, but I do a lot with Target or Khol's and there seems to be no shortage of capri pants, blue jeans that are NOT low rise, t-shirts WITHOUT vulgar sayings, and cute peasant tops that do NOT show the tummy.
Now I am lucky.
My daughter could care LESS about style. She likes bright colors and nothing that is binding or itchy.
Two new pairs of jeans, some cargo pants, and a handful of t-shirts and she's there. Add in a couple pairs of shoes and assorted socks and undies.
That said, I will point out that it is PARENTS who ultimately pay for kid's clothing, and there is "the Golden rule" ie: "He who has the gold makes the rules". You will have no problem with clothing IF you pay attention. If parents are just handing money to kids and turning them loose in the mall , they deserve whatever the kid turns up with.
I guess I just do not see what the fuss is about.

The biggest fad is old t-shirts that are from fast-food workers. The kid in the picture was wearing an old "Der Weinerschnitzel" t-shirt.
Ours favors stripes: striped shirts, striped pants, striped socks, even striped underwear, brightest colors possible, the more it clashes the better.
She's five. She thinks dressing herself is important. We're keeping pictures.
