"Overflowing with Excitement"
Shopping at American Girl is an exciting day! You better have the energy of the Energizer Bunny to keep up with your daughter! This place has 2 levels of pure joy. If you are specifically looking for modern, modest fashions the American Girl store is a great place to go (if you don't mind the logo on everything!). I think it's adorable that the girls can dress like their dolls.
Come with a budget because everything comes separately and it's easy for the cost to accumulate quickly.
