New Lines Are Finally up at Gymboree: Your Picks?

[slknight]

Jenn, hope I didn't offend you. We've all got different tastes, you know? I guess I just had to wear that kind of stuff as a kid in the 70s and don't want DS to wear it. I haven't seen it IRL though, so I might like it a little better. But really, I just think that I'm a Hanna gal (and DS is a Hanna guy). :)

Here are my favorites:

I like the colors in the Golf Pond line.

I love this dress.

This outfit is really cute as well.

From Lemony Fresh, I love this shirt.

I adore these pants, although I don't know how prudent it is to buy pants for the summer in the south.

It may be more practical to buy this skirt to match the shirt.

From the Jardin line, I fell in love with this outfit, but I am so sad because Eva needs an 18-24 month for Fall and this line ends at 12-18 month. Is it silly to mourn something you never had? :-)

Well, overall, these lines are just okay. Our air conditioner is broken and the repairman can't come til this afternoon. So since it'll be in the 90s, we'll be heading over to the mall for some A/C! LOL! Soooo, of course I'll have to go by Gymbo and pick some things up. :)

I think the older boys line (Skatetown) is okay. For once I actually like it better than the baby boy stuff! There are a couple of pieces that I like. I will probably get:

to match with:

I HATE both the girls and boys pajamas this time!!! Yuck, yuck, double yuck. I've been beyond disappointed with Gymbo's pj selection this spring/summer. They are usually my main pick. :(

From the Lemony Fresh line I like:

maybe with:

I also like the old-fashionedness of this:
http://a116.g.akamai.net/7/116/2088/...main_3391b.jpg

I know that this is a transition line but it is so blasted hot here for so long (until early October) that I won't be putting her in too many pants that still have a summery pattern/theme to them. I like the scalloped jeans and all-over print flares in this line and *might* get one outfit for late summer/early fall.

I like the Golf Pond line but the colors are so similar to SD. :( I might get this dress:
http://a116.g.akamai.net/7/116/2088/...main_33939.jpg

I just feel so-so about the Jardin Francaise line. I was anticipating really loving it based on descriptions but seeing it now I think I won't be buying it out. My favorite pieces are:

http://a116.g.akamai.net/7/116/2088/...main_335b5.jpg

http://a116.g.akamai.net/7/116/2088/...main_33565.jpg

http://a116.g.akamai.net/7/116/2088/...main_335a1.jpg

I'll have to see it IRL to know if I really like it or not. Another thing about the layette lines is AG is in a 12-18 now (still a bit big) so buying ahead for fall might not work. :(

So, there are pieces I like but no one line that just bowls me over. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for the European Vacation line. :)

What are your thoughts on this? Do you gals think that Francais dress is going to sell out in certain sizes quickly? I HATE waiting for stuff to be on big time sale and then missing out because it's sold out. This happened to me with the Easter line this year. I waited and waited to get the yellow polka-dotted dress AND the Lavenender Fields dress, and then when I went to get it, the yellow one was GONE and the LF dress wasn't available in the sizes I would have taken.

SO, I am wondering if I should go ahead and get the dress and I MUST have the hat (imagine that) now at 25% off, so that I don't risk it selling it out later when the regular markdowns occur. Plus, the first round of markdows is usually 20%, so at 25% off, this is actually a better deal. Right? Logic?

I like some of the items with the Turtle, the purse is really cute! LOL....but again too much white! I keep telling them white is so difficult to keep fresh & clean.


Boys line wise, first thing that came to mind ..was that 70's show :P I was all happy when i heard the word "dog" ds loves dogs..but the skaterpup was not quite what i had in mind, not sure what i had in mind but that again wasn't it :o

Oh maybe an in person look, will make me feel better?...good thing elder dd looks good in yellow?

ETA: one skort i like{and fogive me it's kid girl }( }

I think they might be gone by the time they are marked down below 25% again. Just a hunch but the Layette line is generally smaller and lower quantity so it goes faster if it's popular.

[egoldber]

Sigh. Once again the cutest stuff does not get translated into the Big Girl lines. Grrrr....

I love the Golf Pond accesories. The Turtle Clutch and ponytail holders have my name all over them! But the clothes don't float my boat. The pink stripe dress is cute, but I prefer the turtle accessories, and of ocurse the accessories I like have the turtle!

From Lemony Fresh, I love the knit dresses and the hair accessories are good too. :)

And how pathetic is it that I am now planning wardrobes around hair accessories and purses?????

[AdoptChina]

Ugh.....once again the baby girl lines are so much cuter than the big girl ones. I won't be buying Maki anything (which is okay since she doesnt need it). I may buy Connor the jeans from the Skate Pup line but thats about it. I was really hoping to like more from that line since my older 2 boys love skateboarding.....it just looks too old for Connor.

[iluvmy2boys]

yuck, yuck and yuck!!!

If the layette line went up to 18-24months I'd buy some pieces from there, but since it doesn't, I won't be buying anything. too bad, I have a $60 credit that I need to use up, guess I'll spend it on my best friend's baby, when she finds out what she's having!

[urbanmama]

I'm on my way to the mall in just a few minutes to see the new lines IRL, but overall I'm not seeing much that I HAVE to have. DD#2 already has so much this year in yellow so Lemony Fresh doesn't appeal to me too much. For DD#1, I might get the striped dress from Golf Pond (and may get the matching dress for DD#2). As for the layette line, I think I'll end up getting the print dress or the pants and long sleeve shirt. I won't know for sure until I see it in person!
