Several years ago, I started shopping at a store called Chocolate Soup for my daughter. I have to admit that I am not a huge fan of the boy clothes (very much dress up boys clothes), but they have ADORABLE girl clothes.
One thing in particular that I like are their jumpers. The chocolate soup jumpers are appliqued with seasonal designs. They are incredibly unique and look darling on little girls. I have: a whale with shooting water, a dancing frog (with a tulle tutu), a floral bouquet, a cat and mouse, a 4th of July theme, etc. I also like the fact that they are cross-season. For example, you can pop a turtle neck on for cold weather and then a short sleeve shirt for summer. Adorable, simply adorable. Lastly, they are machine washable and, if turned inside out, they keep their shape and color perfectly.
The downside is that the jumpers are pretty pricey. About $85 each. If you catch a sale (which is pretty much always), you can get them for $20 each. I typically stock up on about 5-7 and put them on my daughter every other day. For $100 you have darling outfits for each day of the week.
I would recommend getting the chocolate soup jumpers in a few sizes big. That way, they can start out as long dresses and your daughter can grow with them and wear them for several years.
Chocolate Soup is a little boutique located throughout the country. There is one in Winnetka, IL. I also know of locations in Kansas City, TN, and Texas. I dont find the sales staff particularly helpful, so plan to go for the clothes and not the service. (but I am sure that varies by location!)
