Since my oldest child is a boy, I was looking forward to a whole new wardrobe for my daughter when she arrived. Although I love the color pink, I didn’t want it on her all the time, to the point that we got sick of it, you know? Some days, yes, she’s in head-to-toe pink. But then the next day, she’s wearing black corduroy overalls from when her brother was a baby with a brown monkey t-shirt. Gotta mix it up a bit, you know? So when I saw this uber-adorable, subtly girly Pink Ribbon t-shirt from Resa Design, I was all over it.
The GOOD: With Madeline, sometimes when she wears t-shirts (as opposed to the more frequent choice of onesies), they tend to ride up a bit and expose her belly a lot. This is totally not cool now that the colder weather is here. This one stayed down, and I loved it for that. It fit her extremely well, was super soft and the ribbon was subtle but there. The size was spot-on. It fits her perfectly, with a little room to grow.
The BAD: Although available online, there are not many retailers where the Resa Design items can be purchased. Of course, that also makes the items more special because it means that not every kid in your playgroup will have ‘em.
MONEY MATTERS: $16.00 for this particular t-shirt, and it can be purchased online here, or from this list of retailers.
IN THE PINK: A whopping 40% from the sale of this shirt goes to Be Bright Pink, which is phenomenally generous. That’s a company I want to support.
The MOM VERDICT
Cate says: I’m glad I was given the opportunity to discover Resa Design, because I might not have found them otherwise. I love their alphabet t’s and I think that will be a perfect Christmas gift for some of the babies in our lives. Besides t-shirts, the company also has dresses, changing pads, burp cloths, blankets and more. Better still, Resa Design is a company born out of necessity – the need for stylish clothing for our children – from a real mom of two young boys. Just the kind of company and passion I want to get behind.
