Janie and Jack

I was underwhelmed by Janie and Jack, Gymboree's higher end boutique, which opened at Mall of America today (first floor, south side - just down the hall from Gymboree). The clothes look like Gymboree, but more subdued and more expensive. If I wanted to spend $40 on a pair of toddler boy pants or a little sun dress, I'd rather shop an independent children's boutique with more unique brands. I'm more anxious for Gymboree to open its other new concept here: Crazy 8, which is supposed to compete with Old Navy, selling baby and children's clothes that are both style and price conscious. Enough with the giraffe prints and $30 onesies.
