WINNER is MANDY - #22 - congrats....i will email you!!!
This is sponsored content from BlogHer and GAP.
**********************************************************************************************
ok....this is embarrassing.
but just a little.
annie is the fifth child....meaning she wear LOTS of hand-me-downs.
that is great and not a problem.
but i realized this fall as we were switching out summer and fall clothes that
annie has never owned a pair of jeans.
no jeans.
jeans are my FAVORITE thing to wear.
i look forward to fall and winter just so i can wear JEANS!!
we might as well have fun getting her first pair of JEANS.
i got lots of styles in her size from The GAP Kids for her to try on and decide what she liked best.
please enjoy our fashion show:
**********************************************************************************************
CHOICE #1 - Rock N Roll embroidered SKINNY jeans.
************************************************************************************************
CHOICE #2 - light wash SKINNYS....in a slim....annie must not be a slim...they were tiiiiight.
************************************************************************************************
CHOICE #3 - fitted denim jacket covered with buttons, lots of detail and not technically jeans but oh-so-cute!
************************************************************************************************
CHOICE #4 - SUPER SKINNYS very dark wash with yellow thread stitching
***********************************************************************************************
CHOICE #5 - again....not jeans...but very sweet dark wash denim skirt...not to short and not too long.
************************************************************************************************
CHOICE #6 - medium wash Boot Cut jeans
****************** WE HAVE A WINNER! *******************
the medium wash, bootcut, mid-rise, slim in the hip & thigh with adjustable waist.
i have never paid so much attention to girls jeans.
but it was worth it.
she feels sassy in her new JEANS.
annie is growing up right before my eyes.
she loves fashion and shopping for cute clothes...and now she LOVES jeans.
she realized that her sisters and i wear them all the time and she was so happy to have her very own pair!
it was a big step in her fashion independence.
what i love about jeans for my kids is that they are durable, comfortable and can be worn anywhere!
they will last an entire school year.
my kids' jeans are usually outgrown, not worn out.
wear them with a cute top and fun shoes and they are dressy.
wear them with a hoodie and flip flops and they are casual.
they are a fashion MUST HAVE in my house.

Same thing just happened at our house! Cooper has never had a pair of jeans because his brother wore through them all before they got passed down to him. So I just ordered him a pair and he LOVES them. He asks to wear them nearly everyday! Too bad I only ordered one pair.

Love the ones you picked! they were my favorites too!
Posted by: Shannon | 10/26/2010 at 12:31 AM
I think she looks adorable in every shot! I love how you can wear all sorts of bright colors and patterns with denim, and it keeps it from being too much (speaking as a lover of colors and patterns myself!). I always love the individual way Annie dresses in your posts and this one is no exception, but here the jeans make her look SO grown up! I hope she had lots of fun and enjoyed the new clothes. :)
And MAN was that jacket cute!! I wonder if they make it for grown-ups...
Posted by: Heather | 10/26/2010 at 12:31 AM
Great photos! I hope you got the jacket too. I wish I liked half as good as Annie in my jeans.

Super cute choice!!!As a second grade teacher I know jeans are the best choice to survive the rigors of the elementary school playground!
Posted by: Tina Cobb | 10/26/2010 at 01:05 AM
So cute I liked them all:)
Good choice she looks adorable!
Posted by: Niki Rimmasch | 10/26/2010 at 01:07 AM
Super cute!
Posted by: Cheryl @ a pretty cool life. | 10/26/2010 at 01:10 AM
Jeans are a must in any girls wardrobe! Me myself own way too many pairs...!!! My oldest daughter has been against jeans until just this year (2nd grade, fashions much more important to her now:) So, when we were school shopping this year we did the same thing, tried on lots and lots of jeans until we found her perfect pair! Now, they are her favorites! Hope Annie has fun wearing her sassy new jeans!
Posted by: Mandy | 10/26/2010 at 01:18 AM
Super cute fashion show!
Posted by: amalisa | 10/26/2010 at 01:23 AM
I can't live without my Gap jeans. love love love them. Darling Annie, as usual. ;]
Posted by: Erin | 10/26/2010 at 01:25 AM
You look like you had a blast. I need to add a girl to my all boy household so that I, too, can have a fashion show in the dressing room.
Posted by: Jennipher | 10/26/2010 at 01:29 AM
Way cute! I have some very "vintage" Gap jeans and love them all. I haven't bought new jeans since the skinny epedimic, but I'm thinking about trying it out so I can get some smokin' boots!
Posted by: anna. | 10/26/2010 at 01:31 AM
so cute! the jacket is to die for!!
Posted by: angelina | 10/26/2010 at 01:36 AM
Great choice! And Annie is a great model of her new jeans. My Hannah Jo can totally relate to your Annie ~ she's #5 and she's always wearing hand-me-downs. :-)
Posted by: Julie | 10/26/2010 at 01:44 AM
how fun! i loved the first choice on her, she looks so cute & sassy in them ;) annie is a doll!
Posted by: erica | 10/26/2010 at 01:51 AM
Who is that girl's stylist? :) So cute in every picture. I was just thinking that my girls need some Gap jeans. And me too! The holiday line at the Gap is really cute with the navy & red stuff too.
Posted by: Kate Cupps | 10/26/2010 at 01:52 AM
so cute !! What a darling fashion show !! I hope we win !! I have thee little girls who need some new jeans :)
Posted by: laurenjean | 10/26/2010 at 01:56 AM
I love love love gap jeans for my daughter and the adjustable waist is the best. She rocked all those jeans! So stinkin cute!
Posted by: jenie starks | 10/26/2010 at 02:00 AM
Annie is the cutest thing EVER!! I like what you picked. She looks like such a fashionista in all her pictures!
Posted by: Anne | 10/26/2010 at 02:05 AM
Those pictures made me gasp. Beautiful.
Posted by: Mary Beth | 10/26/2010 at 02:17 AM
I'm about to head to the website just to see if the jacket might come in a size that fits me. . . LOVE IT! (there are benefits to being only 5' 2" — kids clothes become a whole other shopping option!)
Also, in our house, I too love my jeans. AND I found the cutest grey skinny jeans for Big Sister. But Big claims she hates jeans. She only wants to wear pants (ie, leggings). My goal for the winter is to get her into those jeans!!
Posted by: Lori Danelle | 10/26/2010 at 02:19 AM
She is adorable, and the ones you picked are perfect!
Posted by: Julie Weaver | 10/26/2010 at 02:28 AM
Love the jean jacket!! Thanks for the fashion show Annie ;)
Posted by: Cortney | 10/26/2010 at 02:44 AM
My girl is in a growth spurt! I just weeded out her closet (again) and am going to have to do a jeans run. Such cute styles at Gap this season!
Posted by: Amy D. | 10/26/2010 at 02:47 AM
She is so adorable! Love the jeans.
Posted by: Lacey | 10/26/2010 at 02:49 AM
So cute...loved the final choice the best!! Gap has the BEST jeans!!
Posted by: Erin | 10/26/2010 at 03:02 AM
So cute! She should be a model for GAP Kids! Loved the striped socks with the denim skirt too.
Posted by: Donna | 10/26/2010 at 03:13 AM
she is so beautiful and the girl knows how to strike a pose! mom must have taught her well ;)
Posted by: danielle | 10/26/2010 at 03:30 AM
L loved GAP but in SPAIN there are no shops and are necessary to buy Internet route and work out very expensive
Posted by: marta codina | 10/26/2010 at 03:36 AM
haha. she's too cute. i'm sure yall had fun shopping and taking these pictures together! :)
Posted by: Katy Stone | 10/26/2010 at 03:36 AM
I'm pregnant with my first girl. I can't wait for fashion shows!
Posted by: keely | 10/26/2010 at 04:05 AM
Cute pictures! Gap jeans are my favorite!
Posted by: Benay | 10/26/2010 at 04:22 AM
Yeah for Annie's jeans. She still looks like a sweet little girl in the but obviously feeling a bit grown up!
Posted by: Elizabeth Flowers | 10/26/2010 at 04:27 AM
Crying baby up at 2:30 am...what shall I do? Hop online and find this adorable fashion show. We are also rather picky with jeans-typically get ours at the Gap because they last the longest. What a fun contest!!
Posted by: sherry | 10/26/2010 at 04:34 AM
Love the ones she chose--cute! Gap brand jeans are the very best!
Posted by: Jen | 10/26/2010 at 04:45 AM
It's official---she's the cutest thing ever!
Seriously, I think the best feature to come about in kids jeans is the adjustable waist. Makes it much, much easier for jeans to fit well on those skinny 5-10 year old waists & hips.
Thanks for the fasion show!
Posted by: Grace | 10/26/2010 at 04:52 AM
Your little model is adorable!
Posted by: Andrea | 10/26/2010 at 04:58 AM
Wow! I would love to win. Got my fingers crossed! BTW, Your daughter is the cutest!
Posted by: kate hensley | 10/26/2010 at 05:08 AM
charlotte and I just did this last week! Annie is super duper cute!
Posted by: tara | 10/26/2010 at 05:13 AM
Love the pictures showing each outfit.. Man what I would do to have a fashion show like that.. to be young again! -- I have never owned Gap Jeans.. never had the money to spend for them, so yeah Annie!!
Posted by: Mallory | 10/26/2010 at 05:19 AM
these pictures couldn't be any cuter, that Annie, she's a natural!
Posted by: lorelei | 10/26/2010 at 05:20 AM
Gap should give Annie a contract! Jeans are a must have in our house.
Posted by: Brigid | 10/26/2010 at 05:20 AM
Very cute little girl and great pics!
Posted by: Becky Pummill | 10/26/2010 at 05:21 AM
She could be a gap model. She is so adorable. THanks for "sharing the love", the gap love that is! :)
Posted by: becky @ oursweetpeas | 10/26/2010 at 05:28 AM
Love the pics!! She's so, so cute...knows how to work the camera! Gap jeans are great...lots of size options and the adjustability factor is a bonus.
Posted by: Michele | 10/26/2010 at 05:29 AM
Looks great - You gotta get the jacket tho - that was cuuute!
Posted by: Helen | 10/26/2010 at 05:33 AM
your annie is too cute! you must tell where that #5 shirt came from. [my daughter would love it!]
Posted by: kribss | 10/26/2010 at 05:33 AM
Love them all ~ especially the ones you picked out (and I loved that jacket and those boots!). Looked like a lovely time!
Posted by: Karla | 10/26/2010 at 05:36 AM
Every pair of jeans I own is from Gap! As a teacher, I long for casual Fridays so I can wear 'em!
Posted by: Brianna | 10/26/2010 at 05:38 AM
She is soo cute! She looks like such a big girl now!
Posted by: cecilia | 10/26/2010 at 05:39 AM

Posted by: elma riedstra | 10/26/2010 at 05:41 AM
Loved your fashion show! She was so cute in everything, especially the skirt with the stripey socks! :)
Posted by: Dawn | 10/26/2010 at 05:45 AM
Cute fashion show. I actually took my two daughters to the gap outlet and we had our own fashion show as well. Fun!
Posted by: Jodie | 10/26/2010 at 05:45 AM
Loved the fashion show....your are so lucky to have someone who enjoys trying on clothing! This does not happen in my house of all boys! Too cute!
Posted by: Maureen Troop | 10/26/2010 at 05:47 AM
so cute!!
i've heard great things about gap kids jeans but we've not been fortunate enough to buy any. major struggles to find jeans for my youngest right now - short in height but chubby in waist - she would be in heaven if we could find a pair of jeans for her.
Posted by: crystal | 10/26/2010 at 05:48 AM
LOVE all the jeans and it looks like Annie had fun trying them all on! She looks cute in everything and I'm glad you found the right pair :)
Posted by: Amanda Angert | 10/26/2010 at 05:51 AM
A girl just can't live without jeans. Now, she must have pearls! I love pearls with jeans.
Posted by: Holly | 10/26/2010 at 05:51 AM
I love the photo shoot! She looks so sassy!
Posted by: Erin | 10/26/2010 at 05:52 AM
Jeans are big in our home too! I love the versatility, they are definitely one of my wardrobe staples!
Posted by: Ashley | 10/26/2010 at 05:59 AM
Love love love all of them on her! She is too cute. Gap jeans are my favorite and the only jeans that fit my oldest daughter just right. You know how hard it is to find the right fit!
Posted by: Katie P | 10/26/2010 at 06:05 AM
Love love the jeans y'all picked! The denim jackets was sooo cute!!
Posted by: christy | 10/26/2010 at 06:06 AM
Awww - love all of her posing:)
Posted by: Lillian | 10/26/2010 at 06:07 AM
Oh the Gap. Love it. I spent my clothes budget this month on new running shoes...a gift card would be a TREAT! Your daughter is adorable.
Posted by: Lara | 10/26/2010 at 06:07 AM
She is looking sassy! And too grown up in those jeans. I had a pair of GAP jeans for almost ten years that I wore to pieces. I think I need another.
Posted by: Angela B. | 10/26/2010 at 06:09 AM
It doesnt matter which ones she wears or picks, she's always going to be darling. the cute just oozes right out of that kid! feeling like a Gap fashion show myself :)
Posted by: Karen Lehmann | 10/26/2010 at 06:09 AM
Can't you keep the jacket anyway? I love the first four outfits SOOOO much!
Posted by: julia | 10/26/2010 at 06:12 AM
Makes me want to have a baby... so that they can grow up and wear cute jeans! ;)
Posted by: Christa | 10/26/2010 at 06:14 AM
YAY for Annie! Jeans have GOT to be favorite clothing too! I only own 1 other pair of pants that aren't jeans! :)
Posted by: betsy bevis | 10/26/2010 at 06:14 AM
Annie needs to be in the next Gap ad! Sooooooo cute! Would love the Gap gift card for my four kiddos! Could definitely spend it quickly!
Posted by: Jamie | 10/26/2010 at 06:16 AM
I love her poses! She is just too cute! I am a jeans lover too! I wish I could wear them to work everyday!
Posted by: Amy Lynne | 10/26/2010 at 06:16 AM
What a fashion queen! Love it!
Posted by: Wendy | 10/26/2010 at 06:20 AM
Looks like you guys had a lot of fun! The boot cut would be my choice too, but she is adorable in all of them!
Posted by: Mehgan | 10/26/2010 at 06:21 AM
Yay for Annie's first pair of jeans! She looks adorable in them and the jacket too!
Posted by: Kristi Swint | 10/26/2010 at 06:22 AM

She is just too adorable!!
Posted by: Jill | 10/26/2010 at 06:24 AM
Do you know I almost commented on yesterday's post that Annie suddenly looked so grown-up. I couldn't put my finger on it, but looking at it again I now realize it is because she is wearing her new jeans!
Posted by: Betsy | 10/26/2010 at 06:25 AM
always need jeans for my kids!
and me.
and my husband.
would love to win!~
Posted by: Tara | 10/26/2010 at 06:29 AM
I am SO gonna need new jeans in 2 months. Having a baby in 6 weeks, and as much as I love my maternity jeans, I'm ready for real pants!
Posted by: hannah j | 10/26/2010 at 06:31 AM
She's looks adorable in everything, but great choice with the jeans! I love your blog....and off subject, but I am making that delish looking cheesecake, with the REAL whipped topping....cannot wait to see my family's face tonight! Thanks for sharing a peek into your life!
Posted by: Michelle Burke | 10/26/2010 at 06:32 AM
makes me wanna go shopping. great job modeling and a great job accessorizing.
Posted by: Tasha | 10/26/2010 at 06:33 AM
What a cutie and I love the jeans! My kids and I live in jeans as soon as the weather gets even remotely cool. My biggest problem is finding some to fit my skinny 4 year old but we've managed to round up a few pairs of 4 slims so far this year.
Posted by: Amy | 10/26/2010 at 06:34 AM
Precious pictures. Annie is quite the model. My son is the second child and could only wear his sister's hand me downs when he was very little and the jeans were more unisex.
Posted by: Lori | 10/26/2010 at 06:34 AM
just adorable!
Posted by: Courtney | 10/26/2010 at 06:37 AM
They are all too cute. Love, love, love the jacket...hope you kept that too.
Posted by: Jinee | 10/26/2010 at 06:39 AM
I wish I had a little girl now! My boys really don't care that much for their clothes right now. But if I had a little girl, man, I'd have to take a second job for dressing her up! Loved the fashion show! Annie is a cutie!
