Olivia and I went to one this morning. I was so excited...the thrill of the hunt was just moments away. When I arrived I quickly perused the big items to make sure I didn't need any of those before they got away. If you haven't been, the good(and decent priced) items go fast.
Moving on to the clothes I faced a dilemma. Who do I shop for first? The oldest? The new baby? Or do I start with Olivia? I decided to go with Olivia. I found a lot of cute things, some were way overpriced(for a resale anyways) and some were just crappy. I found my selection of good used clothes and moved on to shoes for her. BTW...I do try and keep items under $5 if I can help it. Any more than that may as well buy new. Shoes were my downfall for Olivia...4 pairs. Oh well. A girl can never have to many shoes :)
Next we hit the big girl clothes. I do tend to have a hard time with Ava and clothes. She is developing her own tastes which are different than mine(naturally) so I only picked out 1 sweater, one long sleeved shirt and a pair of jammies for her. Hopefully she will like it and not push it to the back of the closet.
Of course I had to buy some things for baby #3. No we don't have a name yet, still working on it. I picked her out some winter jammies and a few outfits. Come on, Olivia was born in June, I had to get some new season appropriate clothes! Don't want the baby to freeze on the way home from the hospital!
All in all I think I did well for myself. I think my grand total was around 125 for all my items. Quick round up : 8 long sleeve shirts, 8 jammies, 7 outfits, 1 dress, 1 warm up suit, 1 sweater, 4 pairs of shoes and a jacket.
The worst part of the day? The 45 minute line I had to stand in for checkout. This is why I HATE consignment sales!
The best part of the whole day? My little shopper was a trooper, she did get fussy while at the store but mommy forgot food and drink for her...my bad. However, she did fall asleep on the way home. That is priceless!
