whats with all the pink?!

I'm getting so frustrated buying for DD. First, I couldn't find any decent bedding in my price range that wasn't all pink that would also mesh with DS's decor (they're sharing a room). Now I'm looking for a coming home/ first pictures outfit in a premie size and not only is there limited selection in that small a size but all the stuff I like is pink! Don't get me wrong I love pink and I ended up putting together bedding piece by piece with a pink bumper but damn. I don't want the poor girl in a sea of pink like my nieces are.

    I agree.  I have nothing against pink, but I would like to have some other colors in her wardrobe and they are hard to find.

    I was surprised at how much purple we got at our shower yesterday...10 purple onesies, 2 pair of purple pants, and another purple outfit. Check out Carter's stuff for colors other than pink.

    I know! I'm so tired of all this pink stuff! I did find some blue dresses, yellows, greens, all at Macy's. They were having a huge sale.

    I was a mom who hated pink, but eventually I just had to suck it up. I buy other colors when I have the option but DD has a very pink wardrobe and she rocks it!

    ETA: Gymboree sometimes has some different stuff and non-pink options. Its pricey but they have good sales and if you buy online, stuff goes to clearance quickly and sizes stay available for a long time.

    Gap Baby is also really good about having non-pink, super cute girl items, but no preemie sizes Sad

    I like the green that is out. I got two Carter outfits the other day - one green with white daisys and the other green stripes and polka dots. I'm feelin' the green for our spring baby!

    Of course I got a lot of pink as well from others, but like you I dont want all pink. I find that shopping at either target or carter's i can find multiple outfits that are adorable and not just pink. Oh and another place to try would be khols if you have one where you live.

    The Children's Place has cute colorful clothes that wash well and last. They are not expensive either!

    thanks for the suggestions on where to look! I actually do have a lot of larger sizes (3-6, 6-9) in different colors from Carters, Kohls, and the like. I love Carter's clothes... always have they're so soft!  I got the cutest little  outfit by Carter's that's aqua with a little panda on the rump. IDK why but it just tickles me pink when the clothes have a picture or ruffle on the rump LOL.

    Pink is relentless! We have almost none, however, except for what we got as hand-me-downs for one friend. BRU lets you choose by color, so I had no trouble finding non-pink attire and decor.

    I found a very cute take me home outfit that is not pink, but it doesn't come in preemie. It comes in newborn tho...

    I love Baby Gap!  It can get pretty pricey though, unless they're having a sale!

    I love pink.  But have also purchased some blue for LO (cause it had monkeys on it and I have a thing for monkeys).  Nothing wrong with a girl in blue!
