Just the other day I happened to be in Kohl’s. I was up near the little girl’s clothing section and I happened to notice that they now have girl’s plus sizes. Whoever thought of this is a genius, because there are a lot of little girls that are bigger and they don’t have a lot of clothing options. As I stated in my previous post, my little cousin is a little heavier than the average nine year old. For her birthday my sister and I decided to take her shopping for clothes. We decided that we would just pop into Wal-Mart and see what we could find her. Well, she didn’t fit into anything in the girl’s section, so we had to go over to the teens and missus. As she tried on the clothes that she had picked out, it was obvious that none of them were going to fit, because they were either too small or too big. That is why I think Kohl’s was smart when they put out the plus sizes for little girls. Now the girls who are a little bigger can have the cute clothes that the skinny girls wear. They don’t have to feel like they are the outcast because all that fits them is dresses and sweatpants. Since what you wear can affect your self-esteem and how you view your body, I think that it is important to be able to find clothes that not only fit, but look good also. Wearing something that looks cool and fits good can allow them to think positively about themselves and that will maybe show them that they need to be who they are, not who society wants them to be.
