Hip, Hop, Dance!

2012-02-20T17:11:00.008-05:00

Quickie 3 for February 21st thru 24th.........

** HIP **

This weekend, we had a pregnant friend refer to our Maternity

Selection as "Dowdy", so we are looking for Better Branded

Blouses and Dresses that are "hip" and fashionable!

*note: Old Navy Black V-Necks are neither ;)

** HOP **

Easter is right around the corner, so we need pretty dresses

for Girls and sharp separates for Boys!

** DANCE **

Evidently dance and ballet classes are in full swing because we have

had numerous requests for leotards, tutus, ballet flats & tap shoes.

Bring us your dance gear that doesn't fit, and we'll try and find "new"

gear that does!

Please remember to call first (202) 543-6471, and please bring only 3!
