"We thought the world of baby clothing had gone officially gaga last year when American Apparel introduced mini-me versions of their metallic leggings (which Jenny promptly scooped up for her own adorable tot). But babies are getting even more fashion-forward with the increasing popularity of skinny jeans for really, really tiny tushes. Earlier this week, the Wall Street Journal reported that sales of kids&amp;#x27; clothes are booming (while adult apparel isn&amp;#x27;t doing quite as well) and that itty bitty pairs of skinny jeans are flying off shelves in stores like Gap Kids, American Eagle, and J. Crew&amp;#x27;s Crewcuts. &amp;quot;Gap Inc., the country&amp;#x27;s largest apparel retailer, sells skinny jeans in sizes as small as zero to three months,&amp;quot; the article says. &amp;quot;The company says skinny styles now make up 40% of its jeans offering for infant and toddler girls and 70% for girls at the kids division.&amp;quot; And while it ain&amp;#x27;t easy squeezing a diaper into a pair of jeans that doesn&amp;#x27;t even have snaps, like most infant and toddler clothes do, lots of moms are willing to do some extra pushing and pulling for the sake of fashion.
