I'm a woman obsessed.
I'm looking for a cute dress or shirt I can pair with shorts for my lo for her birthday. I'd like to see a giraffe, elephant or some other zoo animal on the outfit.
Just so you get an idea of my style, I like pictures #1 and 2 and am not a fan of #3. I'm looking to spend less than $40 (including shipping).

I saw a cute giraffe printed shirt with a lace collar at TJ Maxx about a week ago. I also have seen giraffe shirts at Gymboree recently. We're big giraffe fans too!

What size?
You know half of HB is going to be scouring for a perfect dress for you now! Haha

@Kimberlybee: I saw those! Yellow and black and white stripes at Gymboree? Love them. But Gymboree is soooo expensive. The shirt alone was $25, matching shorts $20. Whomp.

You totally have the same sense of style as us. I'm going to search 
Can you share where you've already looked?

Idk if you're in the mood for ebay, but this is pretty cute! Not very bold though

GAP has one with a flamingo but I think it might be too everyday/casual. They also have this which I think you NEED. http://www.gap.com/browse/product.do?cid=49690&vid=1&pid=980606002

@kjpugs: Gap, Gymboree, Carter's, OshKosh, Old Navy, Etsy, Amazon, Boden.

@kjpugs: HA HA HA omg. That is the best. Boston with a yellow stache.

@swurlygurl: that's sweet, I like that style. Is it me or is that pricey for a Crazy 8 product? I kind of feel like their clothing is usually pretty low priced and/or always on sale?

I love this little shirt from Gymboree, though I can't tell if it would be your style: http://www.gymboree.com/shop/dept_item.jsp?PRODUCT%3C%3Eprd_id=845524446034869&FOLDER%3C%3Efolder_id=2534374304783043&ASSORTMENT%3C%3East_id=1408474395917465&bmUID=1398883077136&productSizeSelected=0&fit_type=
ETA: In the time it took me to dig it up, I see you've already seen that one. I'll keep looking

Do you like this? It's on sale for $10, I am going to Gymboree later and can look for you. (Sold out online)
honeydew / 7091 posts
This one is only $64, so probably in your price range... 
But SO CUTE

Flamingos, maybe? http://www.target.com/p/cherokee-infant-toddler-girls-bow-front-flamingo-sundress/-/A-15085634#prodSlot=large_1_3

@swurlygurl: oh so cute! Wish I could get that for a day at the zoo or a birthday party to attend. Hahaha

Would an ostrich be a contender, because this dress looks like maybe your style for $35? http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/tea-collection-ostrich-graphic-minidress-toddler-girls-little-girls-big-girls/3712261?origin=category&BaseUrl=Dresses

@mediagirl: I have a 20% entire order coupon that expires 5/4 for Gymboree if you really wanted the Gymboree outfit.
GOLD / wonderful coconut / 33402 posts
@swurlygurl: That looks like it a University of Alabama outfit.
@mediagirl: I got an email for 20% off at Gymboree coupon if you want it.
hostess / wonderful persimmon / 25556 posts
@Kimberlybee: I do like that a lot. If you see it, could you let me know? I called our local store and they are sold out of that one. Thank you!!
@swurlygurl: that first dress you posted. Oh my lord. I seriously just cursed in my head I love it too much. That price, though. Gag.
@rattles: I've been looking at that one. It keeps coming up when I look for things for her. It may be a contender.

@Smurfette: Haha, oh man, now that's all I see!
@Kimberlybee: The bright blue and yellow one? I am in love with it!

We received this recently (cheap!), and it could be paired with shorts or a skirt real easy.

Just a tshirt but you could pair with a cute tulle skirt
hostess / wonderful persimmon / 25556 posts
@Kimberlybee: @swurlygurl: I know, do they have matching mommy/daughter dresses in that one?
honeydew / 7091 posts
@mediagirl: Hah - that's the one that seems most your style!
For anyone who has a love of kid dresses - Zappos has adorable dresses. I didn't even know I liked dresses on kids that much, but now I want like 20 of them. At least they're all $50+ so I'll never actually buy them... 
hostess / wonderful persimmon / 25556 posts
@swurlygurl: and honestly, a dress that nice, she would only wear it once. IF I could see her wearing it multiple times, wearing to daycare, etc, then I may actually consider it. But for a one time only wearing? Yeah, no.

@MrsKoala: that's cute!
@Smurfette: where is that shirt from?
@mamag: I may take you up on the 20% off offer if I can't find anything else....it would make that outfit much more reasonable. Is it in store or online only?
@mrsjyw: girl, that is adorable but I think M would bust out of it. 
That orange one! If it was short sleeve (and in stock) I would be all over it! Orange is my fave color.
I hope I replied to everyone so far...
