We also got in gorgeous clothes for the "chaggim," Jewish Holidays- Rosh Hashanah, Yom Kippur, Succot and Simchat Torah. But I didn't take pictures yesterday, because I was certain that I had photographed them on Sunday. Sorry, that just means that I'll have to post an additional blog about the store.
There are still lots of bathing suits for sale at very reasonable prices, including the tzniusdik, "modest" ones. I saw similar styles in Jerusalem for almost double the price. As soon as the first delivery of the two-piece short sleeved top and shorts for girls arrived I called my daughter to get approval to buy for the older granddaughters. When the season opened the manufacturer only made them in women's sizes, but we and no doubt others requested smaller sizes. So now we have them to sell and they are popular. Last year many girls bought boys bathing trunks and wore them with tee shirts.
For the past few years in Israel there has been a law requiring school uniforms. No, these aren't the type my eldest wore when we were in London. It's much simpler, less uniform here. Depending on the school there are requirements for whatever skirts or slacks/shorts to be worn with plain tee shirts of various colors and sleeve lengths that have the school's logo ironed onto it.
We have one of those heavy industrial irons and a wide variety of iron-on logos for schools in the area. If you buy a shirt from us, the logo is free, but if you bring in a shirt from home or another store, you pay for the logo and the service of ironing it onto the shirt.
Since school let out, we've had a special sale on "school shirts," so many families have already stocked up and aren't waiting until the last minute.
