I l...A will be the prima fashionista of her school! I love how highly coordinated the Gymboree items are, especially since I am a nerd and love plaid, lol. Since my kids live at the Children's Place, I really like the stuff you purchased from there.<br /><br />Did Little Man get some cool outfits? <br /><br />Tips...<br /><br />Children's Place:<br />We've never paid full price at Children's Place in the 10 years we've shopped there. Always do an online search for a % off coupon for their online store. Also, sign up for their e-mailings because they give out % off coupons like crazy thru their emails, and many are 20% off, and they clue you into their numerous sales. With many in-store purchases they give % off coupons too, so check your shopping bags before throwing them away, lol. <br /><br />Also, keep checking back at their stores and online store, even after major sales. Children's Place has a sale going on right now online ($10 twill pants, $5 graphic tees, and $7 Capris), and sometimes their jeans and shoes pop up in the online store for 99 cents! <br /><br />Check their website everyday, lol.<br /><br />Accessories<br />I make all of my daughters' korker bows and streamer ponytail O's to save $ and to highly coordinate them with outfits. A basic ponytail o streamer is easy to make, if you just want something real quick, tie long pieces of grossgrain ribbon to the ponytail holders! If you want them to last long you have to sew the ribbon to the holder.<br /><br />I buy non-metal elastics from the Dollar Tree. They last long, haven't pulled on hair, and you get 20 for $1. I also buy clippies, some headbands, barretts, bandanas and claw clips from the Dollar Tree. As you know, everything is $1!<br /><br />I buy Kufis (knitted hats) at a BBS where they are $1.50, good quality, and come in a boatload of colors. Also buy beads and non-metal ballies for $1.<br /><br />I get many many headbands, hats, necklaces, watches, belts and bracelets from the Children's Place to match the store's outfits, but when they have them on sale. The most I have paid for Children's Place hair accessories, hats, and necklaces is 99 cents! I get their watches, bracelets and belts only when I have a % off coupons. So, hunt for their sales!<br /><br />Walmart has a great selection of hair accessories and fedoras and bucket hats for $2.50-7 right now.<br /><br />Shoes<br />If you're looking to match outfits and have a tomboy girl or roughouse son, then $6-10 for shoes at Walmart will keep you from getting peeved when they scuff up sneakers or the bottom of ballet flats, lol. <br /><br />School Supplies<br />Walmart or Dollar Tree, if you want super cheap but also good quality. We got single subject notebooks for 10 cents at Walmart when they had a sale. <br /><br />Tax Free Shopping<br />If you live in the New England area, take a trip to Rhode Island and go to the Providence Place Mall: Children's Place, Gap, etc...because everyday is tax free shopping on clothes & shoes. Pair that up with major sales and coupons and you will rack up!<br /><br />Check to see if another state nearby you has no-taxes on clothing and plan a trip!<br /><br />This year we shopped at Children's Place on the tax free days in my state along with a 20% off e-mailed coupon on the day they had marked summer clothing at %50 off or more. It was insane. There were 99 cent shorts, skirts and shirts! So, keep an eye out for tax free days.cristianahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11116463836789177173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7401110087633857998.post-14586085889460679372010-09-02T10:33:08.898-04:002010-09-02T10:33:08.898-04:00The school girl outfits are so cute.

I also buy my boys school uniforms as soon as they are out and I always buy 1 to 2 sizes bigger. During the summer is when they have sales on pants etc. During the winter is when they have sales on summer clothing. I have it down packed. In the month of July is when the retail stores have their cents sale on school supplies.dimpleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06557177823142241091noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7401110087633857998.post-34313719010256162762010-09-01T11:21:41.992-04:002010-09-01T11:21:41.992-04:00i love the hello kitty stuff. we also got alot of ...i love the hello kitty stuff. we also got alot of the same stuff from gymbo. I've been loving childrens place stuff. My shopping tips are with gymboree keep a stash of 20% coupons which come in alot of the parenting magazines, this coupons stack with alot of their sales like the BTS and going on now is fill-a-bag (30% off+20% with your coupon) and next week is the baby sale good for newborn-5t stuff. <br />for shopping old navy/gap sign up to get their emails before you place an order they always send a dollar off coupon to new email addresses. <br />With childrens place theres always a coupon out to, google birhtday coupon then what month it is and you can print these coupons and use in store. <br />Follow these companies facebooks, you will be surprised the sale info and specials they put up on these pages. <br />Happy shopping.Louihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04930302525125847319noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7401110087633857998.post-28719862923841383002010-09-01T10:53:09.315-04:002010-09-01T10:53:09.315-04:00My little one has to wear uniforms......thank GOD ...My little one has to wear uniforms......thank GOD because I would have went loco buying all the cute stuff.

Places like Burlington Coat Factory offer it, if name brands is your main thing, as well as Citi Trends but you also have places like Sears & Kmart. Most places will also allow you to put sale items on lay-a-way as well. Hope this helps.Andrea P. aka LongLeggedLifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09488553369078752910noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7401110087633857998.post-40125262532599337782010-08-31T10:00:42.321-04:002010-08-31T10:00:42.321-04:00This would be a reason why I am so glad my little ...This would be a reason why I am so glad my little one wears uniforms!!
