For Christmas, my mother bought my son a shirt. And I liked it. If you knew the type of clothing that my mom normally buys for the Munchkin, you would topple over in shock, I assure you. I know I did. My mom is great, but her fashion sense and mine? Let’s just say we both tend to do a lot of private eye-rolling.
After I had been revived with smelling salts, I managed to gasp out, “Wh-where did you get that? How much was it?”
When I found out she had bought it for eight dollars, out the smelling salts came. Again.
And whom did I have to thank for such a nirvana of a shirt for such a great price?
Why, H&M, of course. The house of fast fashion and famous celebrity collections also offers clothing for children from ages 0-14 years. Yeeaaaahhh baby, I was so there.
Luckily, I have a store near me that carries the children’s lines, which not all do. I went in, curious as to what I would find, as I think everyone knows by now that I find boy’s fashion Boring with a capital B. And, because I love you all, I also looked at the girl’s clothing, even though I never do because I just get jealous.
I saw clothing that was, in a word, awesome. It was of high quality, had color combinations not normally found in bargain clothing (hello, chocolate brown and baby blue for the boys!) and best of all, did I mention it was pretty cheap? Two t-shirts could be had as a color coordinated pair for $9.90. Pants ran around $14.00. They also had turtlenecks, which I had been hard-pressed to find this winter, for some reason. Lots and lots of graphics as well.
Alas, in my corner of the world we are already beginning to warm up, not that we were ever really cold to begin with, so turtlenecks just seemed a bit much. None of the spring line was in yet, so I was unable to purchase anything because the Munchkin’s winter wardrobe is already covered. That was unfortunate, because I really wanted to buy something. Never had I been so upset at being so well organized. I am practically salivating for them to get their spring line into the store.
The clothing for girls was equally fab, and the infant clothing was even better. I cannot recommend this store highly enough. To find out if you have an H&M near you that carries children’s clothing and accessories, here is a link to their store locator in the US.
There is no online shopping for residents of North America, but if you’ve got a close friend in Sweden who’s willing to get the clothes to you, it might almost be worth it.
