Sarah, my granddaughter, is 13 and a half. She lives in Tennessee, and I am in Arizona, so going shopping with her is something that just doesn’t happen. Unless, of course, we are both looking at the same website, and chatting on Facebook at the same time.
I was looking at Oasap.com, a site that has some cute clothing. While I can’t wear the styles they offer, I was sure that Sarah would find something she liked. So, I gave her a $40 budget to “go shopping”.
I had asked her if she liked this Blue Pony Laptop Shoulder bag:
But wow, was I wrong about what I thought she would like. She picked the Glossy Silver Ruffled Shoulder Bag instead:
If you like fun, funky, cute clothing and accessories, check out Oasap.com. They have quite a variety of clothing, bags, shoes, hair accessories, and jewelry at affordable prices. Do you shop with your grandchildren?

It’s so fun that you shop with her online. When I lived in Chicago and my sister lived in St. Louis, we would both go the Walmart in our area, then jump on the phone to shop together. LOL. She picked a really cute bag!
Mandy says
Oh, I love the bag she picked! Isn’t it great that technology can let you shop together across the miles?

I just recently went shopping myself at Oasap.com They have some really cute purses. Love the one she picked. Isn’t it great that technology can keep you connected with family!

What a cool idea! This never even crossed my mind. I’m totally going to do this with my Niece next time her birthday comes around. I actually think you’re in a position to invent a word for this sort of shopping trip! 😀

First off, I think that’s just beyond adorable that you “shop” together with your granddaughter online. That’s really pretty special and I hope she appreciates it.
Second, sounds like somebody’s granddaughter is growing up pretty fast. Definitely a difference in styles, huh? 🙂

What a wonderful way to shop with Sarah. Cute purse.
Henrietta says
That sounds like the perfect way to go shopping while far apart! I love the bag she picked out!
