Why is this so Difficult?

I need to vent. I just want to purchase a simple plain white long sleeve shirt and plain white leggings for Abby. White. Not pink. Not polka-dotted. No embroidery. Not footless tights. Not leg warmers. Not turtle-necks. Just a plain white long-sleeve shirt and a pair of plain white leggings. We live in the Willamette Valley and it gets cold here. Abby has lots of really cute dresses and skirts. Some days, tights are just not warm enough. I have looked at every store both in town and on the internet. There are pink leggings everywhere, but no white! I've even looked on Amazon and e-bay (I did find one pair of leggings on e-bay. Apparently there is only one pair in the entire world!). Oh, and when I googled it I also found a pair on Sax, but I'm not willing to pay $99 and the fact that there are people in this world who will pay $99 for a pair of toddler leggings makes me even more annoyed. The fact that someone would sell a pair of toddler leggings for $99 is just maddening - how much fabric is in those things? Those leggings that will be outgrown in a matter of months and soiled in a matter of days. So, if you want to make some money, here is my suggestion. Go into the business of making plain white leggings for toddlers. And plain white long sleeve shirts, too.

In the toddler boys section at Wal-Mart you can get Granimal brand long sleeve white shirts, I'm sure they'd work just fine for a girl. They're $3.50 and I have one in every color to put beneath Titus's short sleeve shirts so he can wear them when it's cold. I'm not sure about leggings though. I can tell you that this is the time to look with Easter coming up. I couldn't even find white tights in the winter when Leeann was little, so I learned to stock up!

not sure what size Abby is wearing but childrens place online is selling white leggings and long sleeve shirts for really cheap. I saw some in 4t down through 6m.

thanks for the hints. I must be doing something wrong because I've looked at Children's Place and could only find colored.
