I'm a thirty-two year old woman. I've been living in San Diego for almost twelve years now. I love the city. It's clean, safe and has a great climate. Recently, I visited my mom who lives in Rhode Island, in the same house I grew up in. She asked if I would finally clean out all the crap that I've accumulated in my old closet. I agreed, knowing full well that I've put off this project for far too long. I don't think it's been cleaned since I was a little girl. Actually, I had a lot of fun digging through all that stuff, walking down memory lane. I found my old cheerleading outfit, as well as some toys, and my old notes from high school. But what surprised me the most was my old shoe box full of stuff. As a young girl, I collected lots of things about fashion. And inside my little treasure chest were tons and tons of photos of girls maxi dresses similar to these. Maxi dresses were a big favorite of mine back in the day. I loved how soft and comfortable they were. How they flowed and made me feel sophisticated. My mom appreciated the fact that even though these maxis were beautiful, they were also age appropriate. So much of today's clothing for girls are just smaller versions of grown up clothes... and that's so wrong for many reasons. Can't we just let kids be kids? They grow up so fast. Why rush them?
I have to say, though, I was pretty surprised to see so many clipping of maxi dresses for girls. I must have taken them from every magazine on the planet. Vogue, Marie Claire, People, Vanity Faire... you name it, there was a picture of a beautiful girl in a maxi dress. This style was really popular back in the day. I was curious to see if it still is. I figured I would just browse a few department stores in my spare time, but then I realized that would just be a giant waste of time. There's a much faster and simpler way to do it. I just turned on my computer, accessed the internet, opened a search engine then just typed in girls maxi dress and waited to see what popped up. I quickly scanned a bunch of websites and yep, this girls dress is as beloved as ever. But one store caught my eye. It was called TwirlyGirl and believe me, their girls maxi dresses are really something to see. Their selection is so stunning and unique. And I love the fact that all of their girls dresses are manufactured in the USA. These days, it seems like everything is made overseas, so the fact that someone is keeping business in the country is not lost on me. I much prefer to buy American, but these days it's pretty hard to find anything! And believe me, I look everywhere.
I don't have any kids of my own, but I do have three nieces. I decided I would buy each of them a girls maxi dress from TwirlyGirl for Christmas. And you would not believe the looks on their faces when they tried on their dresses. They spun and danced, their maxi dresses twirling high in the air. My sisters so appreciated the gifts. I was happy to do it, and now I know exactly what to buy these girls for their birthday presents. I'm very grateful and pleased that I found TwirlyGIrl. That's why I liked them on Facebook and post their images on Pinterest.
