Here are the clothes that I bought Maren the other day along with the rest of the stuff in the post below. I don't usually check the baby clothes because it takes a long time to get through them all and I'm usually trying to hurry because Maren's doing her very best to climb out of the cart. I'm glad I stopped this time, as I found some really adorable things! All of the clothes I bought were $2.95-$3.95.I love this little sailor dress! I think sailor dresses on little girls are classic and adorable. This one fits her perfectly right now, so she'll be wearing it to church tomorrow. I'll try to post a picture.
This little yellow outfit is really neat. It's made of a heavy material and the front is decorated with pintucks and intricate embroidery. The back has darts and the little sleeves are so cute! It's in perfect condition and looks like it will fit Maren right now. I was so excited to find this--what a treasure!
It's a toss-up between this pink dress and the previous yellow outfit as to which is my favorite find. This is a handmade dress, and whoever made it did a fabulous job! The front, hem, and bands of the sleeves are all decorated with pintucking. There's piping along the waistline and it has the wide hem that is indicative of an old-fashioned style. It even has 2 pockets sewn in! The dress is in perfect shape. It's too big for Maren now, but I think next spring/summer it will fit her. This was another treasure! I can't believe someone would get rid of a dress like this.
This little yellow dress will also fit Maren now. It is hand-smocked in the front and has embroidery along the bodice. There is pink and blue piping along the skirt. (Can you tell I'm a sucker for smocking, embroidery, and piping?) When I got home I noticed that a few of the stitches have come out of the smocked part, but it looks like a pretty easy fix.
This is a cute little black velvet jumper from Gymboree. Maren won't be able to wear it for a couple of years yet, but it's in perfect shape and it won't go out of style.
This is a Ralph Lauren jumper. I've seen the prices for RL baby clothes and they are insane! Who buys that stuff for their kids? People with money to burn, I guess. I would never have paid retail, but at $2.95, it was a steal! It will fit Maren this fall and I think this will be so cute with a little white shirt and tights.
I also bought 3 Gymboree onesies in various sizes that I didn't take pictures of. From what I hear on Two Peas, Gymbo clothes hold up really well and keep a lot of resale value. I have noticed that they seem to be made well and have cute details that other clothing lines don't.
So Maren has some cute new clothes and I can't wait to dress up my little living doll. :)
Oh, My gosh Heidi! Those are amazing clothes! Way to go!
