    A dad was clothes shopping for his four-year-old daughter when he came across what he at first thought was a perfectly nice t-shirt. But then he saw what it read: "BARELY LEGAL" in pink camouflage lettering -- and "HUSTLER" in there, too, in case you didn't get the point. What the! He posted a photo of the shirt to Reddit, saying, "carried it around for about five minutes before I read the text and threw up in my mouth a little."

    Ugh, what was that t-shirt company thinking? And who would buy such a t-shirt for a four-year-old girl? Shudder. But hey, there's more where that came from. The Internet is FULL of bad ideas for toddler t-shirts.

    Does your child's skin seem irritated? There could be truly freaky reason for that. A news station investigation uncovered formaldehyde in baby clothing. And now a senator is stepping in to ask the government to look into setting standards for chemicals in children's clothes.

    Minneapolis Care 11 sent baby clothes to a lab for testing after a mother wrote in, complaining that her daughter's legs had broken out into a rash after wearing a new pair of leggings (she hadn't washed the leggings first). They sent different brands, and the results were disturbing.

    A mom is in a heap of trouble after she sent her 3-year-old son to school in a t-shirt that read "I am a bomb" on the front and "Jihad, Born on 11 September" on the back. Good one, Mama! Bouchra Bagour was charged with "glorifying crime," which is apparently something you can be charged with in France, where the family lives. Here she'd probably be protected under freedom of speech. But then, here people would be even more pissed with her son's t-shirt and run her out of town with torches and pitchforks.

    As it is, Bouchra faces up to five years in prison (for a t-shirt!), but she and her brother (who made that t-shirt, worst uncle ever) will probably end up paying hefty fines. But wait! Bouchra claims it was all just a silly misunderstanding.

    Ladies and gentlemen, introducing the new street style blog -- for tots: Ladys & Gents. It's like The Satorialist blog and the Jak & Jil blog got together and made themselves a very serious little baby fashion blog.

    So while your toddler drools all over the faded t-shirts handed down from your sister's kids, have a sit-down here with the Internets and peruse what your little darling could be wearing instead if you had any fashion sense at all. Well, fashion sense, an extremely generous clothing budget, and all the time in the world. How ridiculous and pretentious is this blog?!?

    Because you're never too young for leather: Sarah Jessica Parker and her twins were seen sashaying about the city in matching leather jackets. Mama like! I never thought you could work lime green striped leggings, a flowered skirt, and purple Mary Janes with a motorcycle jacket. But you can -- you just have to be a preschooler to pull it off.

    Are these sweet little girls too young for such a "rough" look? Is this ... APPROPRIATE?!? Is SJP projecting her fashion fantasies on her helpless daughters? Nahhh, especially the way she's styled it. The jackets are cheeky, but thanks to the rest of the girls' outfits, they're still very much dressed like little girls. And since all three of them are in leather jackets, the matchy-ness of it is just plain adorable!

    Looks like little Tabitha and Marion are just as fashionable as their famous mom. Sarah Jessica Parker took a stroll with her 3-year-old twins and it was a mesmerizing sight to see. Those little girls were the most adorable tots on the streets of NYC on December 5.

    Honey Boo Boo has been called a lot of things since her small screen debut and I bet stylish has never been one of them -- until now. That's right, folks. It looks like the sassy pageant contestant may be going from country-bumpkin to city chic.

    Watch out Suri Cruise! Alana is taking fashion cues from you and clearly gunning for your spot atop the kiddie style throne.

    Does it really come as a surprise to anyone that some Manhattan moms think nothing of spending $650 on a dress or $400 on a pair of shoes ... for a 3-year-old? How about $795 on a Gucci backpack or $1,090 on a poofy leopard print coat? Sure, it sounds excessive, but consider the benefits of forking over enough cash to feed a small village on your little one's clothing.

    It's like Dara Sandler of Manhattan, who spent $10,000 on her 3-year-old daughter's summer wardrobe (and plans to spend even more on her fall collection), says: "I really believe when she dresses like this, she feels better about herself."

    Well, there you go. Who would dare to put a price on a child's self-esteem? Imagine -- just imagine -- the trauma of being the only kid on the bucket swings wearing Old Navy instead of Dolce & Gabbana. Shudder. That kind of emotional damage could seriously derail a toddler's developing sense of entitlement and superiority!

    Are your daughter's clothes too sexy? A new study shows that about 30 percent of girls' clothing, even for toddlers, is sexualizing. Social psychologist Sarah Murnen asked independent adults to review clothing for girls from 15 major retailers and rate how sexualizing they found it. Whether it was because of slinky, lingerie-like fabric or a cut that emphasized a girl's chest, nearly a third of those clothes read as "sexy" to the adult raters. Even when the outfit included childish details like ruffles and polka-dots!

    Not a big deal? I guess not, as long as you think eating disorders, low self-esteem, or depression aren't a big deal, either. But I think most of us want to raise strong, healthy daughters.
