Hi, welcome to Expert Village. I'm Gretchen Soares and today we are going to be discussing
how to shop for children's clothing. In this clip we're going to talk about accessorizing
our wardrobe and adding pieces for our children. A very important thing to add is hats. In
sunny weather, you need a nice brimmed hat. It should be medium weight cotton with a nice
sun brim on it to keep the sun off their heads and faces as much as possible. And for cool
weather, a nice heavy knitted cap pulled down over those ears and keep their heads warm
and the tips of their ears warm. The same for a little girl, a nice medium weight cotton
brimmed hat for sunny weather and a heavier knitted hat for the cooler weather. Another
good piece to add would be sunglasses. Some people think these are a little tedious and
hard to keep on. They're really great for protecting their eyes when you are outside.
If you get a pair of sunglasses, especially for infants and toddlers, I like the bendable,
flexible kind. They can't break them as easily. These do just about everything. They bend
and twist and do all these fun things. And they're cute. These are actually the good
kind with the UV protection on them especially when outside playing. Another important thing
to remember with little girls, especially if you've picked any dresses is to pick a
couple pairs of tights. I like some of the heavier type knit types for winter time and
some of the lighter weight types for spring and summer times. All children's tights tend
to be washable. You just want to double check that on the packaging. The cotton-poly types
are just going to throw in and launder with your clothing.
