I've been anxious to share this picture with you but was waiting on my last outfit to arrive before taking the picture and posting. I'm so proud of my latest finds! As many of you know, I LOVE smocked clothing and LOVE dressing my two girls in a smocked bishop dress. However, my "stay-at-home mommy budget" doesn't allow me to run to our local boutique and grab a dress or two off the rack for $70 each when the seasons change! So, with Fall looming in the near future (hopefully), I've been searching for good deals for fall clothes for Chloe. (Claire has more clothes than she can possibly wear since she has inherited her sister's practically new hand-me-downs.) I spent some time going through listings on Ebay and watching items, and over the course of the last month, I found these four outfits that are in "LIKE NEW" condition. I got all four of them for less than $100!!! I am so excited! I have since then found 6 or 7 things here at my house that I've sold on Ebay to compensate for my purchases! Won't Chloe look adorable at church this fall? I think so!
As for her everyday clothes, I'm trying to be very intentional about buying practical things that I know she'll wear lots and things that can be mixed and matched. This weekend, I went in The Children's Place and they were having a deal where if you spent $40, you got a coupon for $20 off your next purchase of $40.......awesome! So, I kept my purchase to as close to $40 as possible on Friday ($44.90) and came away with 2 pair of jeans, a pair of khaki pants, and a knit pant and top outfit. The coupon can be used beginning September 29th (the day that I'm in Atlanta....perfect!) and I am planning on getting one more pair of jeans, some long-sleeve tops, and one or two more of the knit outfits then. I am also hoping to find some great long-sleeve knit dresses to be worn with cute tights at either Carters or Belk.
Stay tuned........
