For a similar look for a four-year-old girl, try a pink floral-printed Lands' End T-shirt dress ($8.99) that is even more fun with multi-colored striped Gymboree tights ($2.99).
If your four-year-old girl is in need of another fun look, try a red Tea button-up sweater ($14.99), a Gap denim skirt ($6.99), red tights ($1.99) and brown cowgirl boots ($12.99).
Of course, since the store is a resale shop, there's no guarantee that these items will still be in stock, but they still have plenty of other clothing (sizes newborn through 12) to keep your kids looking cute.
Be sure to check out the photo gallery for pictures of kids modeling these looks, along with other items for sale at Kangaroo Kids.
The Facts
Kangaroo Kids first opened in 1995. Current owner Sierra Cortazzo took over the store at its location down Manchester Road in 2005.
"I've always dreamed of owning my own business," Cortazzo said.
In addition to the resale clothing, the store also carries other baby and kids' items, such as strollers and toys, and maternity wear. The store also serves as a breastfeeding support center, with Cortazzo as its lactation counselor.
In 2009, the store moved to its current location, at 10030 Manchester Rd., making sure to remain in Glendale.
"This community has a good mix of residential and business space," Cortazzo said. "Plus, there's always good traffic on Manchester."
Next up for the store is a back-to-school sale during the first weekend of September. Additionally, Kangaroo Kids is sponsoring a production of the play "Birth" by Karen Brody at the Schlafly Tap Room in downtown St. Louis on Aug. 28, with performance times scheduled for 1 p.m. and 5 p.m.
More information about Kangaroo Kids can be found on the store's website.
