I’ve always loved dressing my little girl, but lately I’ve really gotten into it.
I’v been making some impulse buys here and there (something I rarely do) and mixing more expensive pieces with bargain pieces, creating some super cute outfits. And when I say “expensive,” I mean $16 from Old Navy… yeah, we’re getting crazy over here.
But considering the fact that I usually put her in all the $5 shirts and shorts from Target, $16 is quite a purchase. If you have kids, you know as well as I do that we can’t afford to spend $16 on every piece of clothing we buy them or we’d go broke in no time (especially if we have multiple kids).
But when I came across this flutter sleeve top at Old Navy, I sort of had to have it (plus it was on sale for, like, $3 off…). I don’t buy my girl many “nice” clothes because she goes to Preschool three days a week and Grammy & Papa’s once a week, and she plays HARD. Nice clothes don’t last long in our house.
But every once in a while I buy something nice for her to wear to church or outings and mix it with some cheaper pieces, and I don’t feel so bad about my purchase. In this particular outfit, the top was the most expensive piece, the fedora (another impulse buy since I know it won’t get much use, but it was only $8), shorts and sandals were all from Target.
It produced an awfully cute outfit if you ask me (but then again, I bought it and I’m her mom, so I’m a bit biased).
