Abercrombie Kid

The first day we were in Portland, we went shopping.

Thank goodness for a REAL shopping mall. Boise has malls but nothing like what Portland has to offer.

Bryant has always been a good shopper... but now (at age 6) he's figured out that I want him to look nice and that means I'll buy him clothes if he goes shopping with me.

I'll admit that I'm pretty picky about what he can wear. No cartoon characters and no sweatpants with cuffs or elastic on the bottom. I like the trendy preppy look... or the athletic look.

So, imagine my great delight when we walked past the Abercrombie Store and Bryant wanted to go in! I was even more excited when I realized that he's now big enough to wear the stuff in the Abercromie kids store!



Bryant totally bought into the whole Abercromie vibe. He loved the loud music. He loved the clothes. He tried on each of the colognes they had for sale (yes he stunk by the time he was done). He thought he was one cool dude.

I told him he could buy one thing and he picked out an awesome shirt (you'll see it in a future post). He was so proud to carry his Abercromie bag around the mall.

There were two shirts he absolutely WANTED but I stayed strong said "no". Maybe Santa will have to bring them....

Thank the Good Lord that we don't have an Abercromie Kid's in Boise... or I would have to get a second job!

(and before all you naysayers start telling me about how Abercrombie "sells" sex, etc..., I don't care. I like their clothes and that's what I'm buying. Although the half naked sales clerks are nice too look at too :))
