-The store I chose to go into was Limited Too. I chose this store because even as a young teen I was never interested in there products. I always thought the products were designed to make girls feel like they had to be "girly" and that did not fit my personality. I never shopped in there when I was younger so it was weird to go in there as a college-aged girl and reexamine what the store had to offer.
-At my age now, the store does not advertise toward my age group/demographic. They advertise toward girls who would use and wear their products. When looking around the store I decided it looked about the same as I thought it would have years ago. Girly, feminie and filled with products which I would not have worn as a young teen.
-However, when taking a closer look at the accessories I decided that some of the necklaces, bracletts, and earings I might have worn years ago, but not now.
-I came to the conclusion that while I would never buy anything in this store for me, if I had a younger cousin or friend who fit the demographic of the average pre-teen girl, I would consider shopping at Limited Too for them, regardless if they were the typical girly-girl or the sporty tomboy.

-I am glad I gave Limited Too a second chance because after entering it now I decided that my opinion before was a little too harsh and they do offer products for girls who are not the typical "girly-girl"
