Today I suggested the mall because none of curly girl's clothes really fit. They are in the "I kind of fit but it also looks silly/homeless" stage. I thought its perfect, the mall has AC (it's super hot today) and we can get popsicles from this awesome popsicle place called Paletas. SO GOOD. When we departed the Northern Hemisphere it was freezing. So finding summer clothes (even online) was tricky. I thought it will be fine. I can buy clothes in Chile. No, actually I cannot. We looked in about 6 stores before I finally admitted defeat and told husband to please ask someone in his perfect spanish why there are NO shorts and t shirts for girls. Ok I am being dramatic there are like, 3 shirts and 1 pair of shorts, but they are covered with princesses and other characters and I just cannot even. That, my friends, is a whole other can of worms. I digress. Turns out little girls in Chile dont wear shorts and tshirts. They wear dresses and skirts. In fact the lady kind of made a "duh" face when she was answering us. It seems so silly but then it hit me. I HAVE NOT SEEN A LITTLE GIRL IN SHORTS AND A TSHIRT SINCE I GOT HERE. Well that solves that.
I went back to the hotel and ordered clothes from Boden and Carters like it was going out of style. Because it actually is. Its still full blown summer here so all these cute spring styles will disappear soon and be repaced by summer clothes right around the time it is winter here. I CANNOT WIN. This whole hemisphere thing is tricky. I should probably go ahead and buy winter clothes while I can still find them lest my child continue to look homeless. Oh wait. We kind of are.
