I’m so happy to announce that Whimsy Girls has some great new inventory. A Wish Come True came out with some super cute dresses and separates this season and I snatched up quite a few for this spring/summer season. Here are a few of my favorites:

Candy Shop Dress $69

This pretty little dress is such a vibrant purple! It is made of very soft stretch velvet with a hot pink sequined inset on the bodice. The tulle skirt is two-toned with hot pink and purple. It goes great with our pink glitter ballet shoes and large tiara with pink jewels.

Dorothy ($39) and the Good Witch ($59)

“The Wizard of Oz” is one of my all time favorite movies and I just love both of these outfits!! Costumes aren’t just for Halloween and your little princess can play dress up year ’round with both of these soft and comfy dresses. The Dorothy dress is a two-piece with a soft cotton pinafore and a poly blend white blouse. It looks great with our red glitter bow shoes, too. The Good Witch dress is the most beautiful pink gown we have! It can sub for fancy tea parties, costume parties or daily play.

In addition to these dresses, there are many new items to check out. Please stop by Whimsy Girls, take a look around and pick something sweet out for your little princess.

Happy shopping!

When the new shipment comes in I’ll definitely give you all a shout. I’ll also be doing some promos and giveaways in the next two months so stay tuned!

Dress up year ’round

whimsygirls — Thu, 03 Feb 2011 01:41:33 +0000

In my house, dress-up time is year ’round. Birthdays and Halloween are excellent excuses for a pretty costume, but my 4 year old wears her Whimsy Girls costumes at least three times a week. Not only are they pretty, but they are so comfortable. When she got the Cinder Girl dress she slept in it for two days. It’s a really nice dress with no itchy parts. If they made it in my size, I’d buy one for me!

We’ve got two in stock right now. Stop by and check them out. You know your little princess would love to sleep in this, too!

Little Girls Gone Wild

whimsygirls — Sun, 30 Jan 2011 20:34:29 +0000

My little princess

I just put down my February issue of Redbook only to find a story on something that has bothered me for quite some time: the over sexualization of little girls in our society. I started Whimsy Girls for this very reason. When I was trying to find a Halloween costume for Ava, I was appalled at the overtly sexy options out there for the under 12 set. Not only that, but when trying to find products to sell here, I was shocked at the amount of options. High heels for toddlers, makeup for your preschooler and even padded training bras!

Whimsy Girls doesn’t sell any of this crap. Everything we have is chosen by me, the owner and mother of a four year old who I don’t want to grow up too soon. I want her to relish being a little girl and sometimes that means dressing up in a flouncy tutu with a glittering tiara on her head.

And that’s OK.

You know why? Because I encourage her to do things other than dream of being a princess. We take her to the museums to learn about art and science. My husband and I both work at NASA and she has visited there several times. I’m teaching her to cook and to paint and to understand simple mathematical concepts. And yes, she takes ballet and she’s an incredibly intelligent, well-rounded four year old girl.

While some people (like the author of this article) feel that the downfall of females in our society can be chalked up to our fascination with pretty ball gowns and living happily ever after, I simply don’t agree. Parents or guardians should be there providing a wide variety of options for their girls every day. It’s up to us to instill values in our children. To teach them that they don’t need anyone else to make them happy and that beauty comes from within.

In the meantime, I’m not going to force Ava to dress up as an astronaut when she really wants to wear that Cinderella gown. I’m going to indulge her girlish requests because she is a girl. And there’s absolutely nothing wrong with that.
