I just wanted to share some bargains I got recently {most of these, today} for Ella. She LOVES clothes {just like her mommy} and is very agreeable when you ask her to try them on. She tried each of these outfits on {including bow changes}, posed for pictures and modeled for her SD. Notice in a few the change of location – she is very particular.
The outfit on the left is from Remember Nguyen and I ordered it a few weeks ago on major sale. I think with shipping and monogramming and everything it was about $32. It’s a little big now, but will be great for Christmas and Valentines. The outfit on the right I got at Little Blessings in Mt. Laurel. Today was the first day of their going out of business sale and everything was 40 to 60% off. This is a 4T, so it will fit much better next year. She could get away with wearing the pants this year, but I think the top is too wide across the shoulders. Either way, I can always make her more pink pants for next year and we can split them up. This was regularly $76 and I got it for $24!
I loved the crab dress and so does she. It is a 3T and although it fits okay now, I think it will really look great in the spring. Ella is pretty tall, so when it comes to pants or two piece outfits she almost always wears a size up. With dresses, though, she can usually wear them for a long time. In fact, she has a few cotton knit sundresses that are 12-18 months and she can still wear them! The coat on the right might be my favorite purchases of the day. I bought a 4T because the arms looked short and boy am I glad. It fits her perfect, so it will be a great lightweight jacket for fall. I’m thinking about having her name monogrammed along the hem. What do you think?
These are a size 10, but will be great for next summer into fall. They were $12.50! Ella was a little disappointed when I took the squeaks out of the soles, but you’re crazy if you think I’m going to listen to that with every step. She got over it pretty quickly and despite how huge these are on her right now she pranced around in them and Ariel panties for a half an hour.
This smocked outfit is something my mom made last week. We bought the fabric last year and thought it would be perfect for fall, but couldn’t ever decide what to make out of it. We finally decided that a two-piece outfit would be much cuter than a dress. I’m so happy with how it turned out and I’m already thinking about buying some new fabric for a few more of these cuties.
Ooooh, this is my favorite, too. I’ve seen little girls in smocked swimsuits, but I have a hard time spending $50 on a bathingsuit for me, much less a teency-tiny one for her. This is a 4T and was 50% off. I got it for Independence Day/Blue Angels weekend next year. She could probably wear it now, but it will really fit well next summer.
And finally these cuties. They are a 9 and were also $12.50. These will be great school shoes for spring and are even cuter without the squeakers! I probably should have bought her two pair of these, but my arms were full and I was already preparing myself for a convo with SD.
My friend Amye and I also hit up a local gift shop that was having an annual blowout sale. Their seasonal items were “buy one 75% off, get one free”. What!?!? I bought TONS of Christmas decorations in pink, lime and aqua to use for Ella’s fancy party. I’m too tired for another photoshoot, so maybe I’ll share those later.
