MUSIC TO A GIRLS EARS..

my mom said to me, why dont you go buy some easter outfits for yourself and the kids!
OH HAPPY DAY! You'd think it would be so easy right, spend someone elses $?? No, not for me. So I spent like 2 hours in Gap trying to find great coordinating outfits. And $230 after a 20% discount!
These are the GAP outfits...I was really having a hard time spending that much, thought to myself, what a waste of $230, i mean ya they are cute but I didn't really get much! (i left the tag on, thats why Gracies freaking out). I'm just into getting a bargain, ya know they will be on sale in 3 weeks anyways then I'll kick myself for paying full price.

SOOO... I went to the kids resale store in Scottsdale, -Kid to Kid. It awesome! The stuff I got isn't like Gap stuff its the high end nieman marcus, norstroms, boutique type stuff. They have all the gap, gymboree stuff there too. Heres some of the goods: Loved this retro dress.
lightings bad, but its a cute floral dress, laura ashley
Jack and Janie- So hippie, cute, cute. This has gotta be my fav for elsie $10 !

trampoline fun, don't the kids just look happier in the less expensive outfits! This is so cute it had the original tag on it for $80-got it for $18! This was my big ticket item.
Love the straps on this one
I know the leggings don't match but I thought they were adorable. They had all kinds of crazy designs.
The lights ruining this one- its seersucker orange and white. Totally vintage chic.


So I'm returning the Gap stuff. I got Trake some pants, shirt and shorts, the lady said the girls get all these dresses and he gets a $1 shirt? Heck, ya the kid could care less! Then I got ballet stuff and toys, they have super cute dance stuff. Alltogther-$170! Not yard sale cheap but I got a lot more stuff for a lot less $! I told grandma- she should be happy her $ is going to a lot more stuff! And it was SO MUCH more fun than just getting one outfit per kid.

you gotta check it out- take 101 to shea, turn left after you get off the freeway then go in the first shopping center on the right.
Now I just have to find myself something- thats so not easy......

Super cute outfits! I think I'll give that place a try once I have a girl. Not that Ty doesn't deserve cute clothes, but the cheaper stuff looks just as cute and he goes through things way to fast! Good luck on shopping for yourself!

So cute...but I have to admit...I love The Gap! Kid to Kid sounds cool - I might need to make a trip. Honestly, right now Target is the only place I have been shopping in SO long! Only b/c I've got 3 kids with me and they have a shopping cart and popcorn.
Your girls are darling!

I love that 2d hand store, I wish it was closer, I've only been there twice, but they have great stuff.
