I LOVE the really soft clothes as well and prefer to buy "mini-me" clothes vs cartoons, etc. I just LOVE the footies and stripes though!! I still buy footie pjs for Liv just because they make her look a little younger which I love haha<br /><br />Thanks for linking up with us!! I'll contact you this week about having you cohost!!

I'd definitely shop Mini Boden if I did have boys :-)<br /><br />As far as Gymboree, I do love it for my girls...but I agree that it tends to be a little cheesy on the boy side.

I do like Carter's for striped PJ pants because they fit so well and my son will just wear them as pants. My son is 8-months-old and I have yet to set foot in Gymboree. I do buy a lot of Gap for him. Love H&M too.Sallyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11544323816134342364noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3647270264720619268.post-66133301587212833022013-02-23T16:20:15.086-05:002013-02-23T16:20:15.086-05:00I'm a big fan of consignment and I"ve had...I'm a big fan of consignment and I"ve had luck finding barely worn or brand new stuff! When I go the consignment route, I like Baby Gap, Janie & Jack, and Bailey Boys. I do like plain Carter pants! I like Gymboree for some items.

I also love a good smocked outfit though too! Thanks for sharing!

"Mommys hero", "baseball champ"...etc. but it never fails that a family member will buy these types of clothes for my boys. So I do put my boys in these clothes sometimes, and only at home. I guess I'm a snob like that. lol. Anyway, I'm all for H&M, though I don't like that you can't shop online there. And Old Navy can have cute things for sure. Also, Tea Collection and Mini Boden...though I usually wait for sales. :) Mandy@ a sorta fairytalehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08748261732968499309noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3647270264720619268.post-78156105281322926502013-02-22T20:54:38.533-05:002013-02-22T20:54:38.533-05:00We have a gymboree outlet and I bought several of ...We have a gymboree outlet and I bought several of their pieces before I had kids (yes, I'm that weirdo), but it seems like they're prices are higher now and not as cute. Their girl stuff is much cuter, but what else is new?<br /><br />I love RL layette and most of mine has been scored at Marshalls. IN fact you just reminded me I wanted to go back and get a green longsleeved polo outfit for my newest boy. <br /><br />I have never purchased from mini boden, but jsut got a new catalog w a 15% off coupon and free shipping so I'm about to buy some bathing suits-matching for big and baby brother, of course!<br /><br />Does Crewcuts start at 2T? I think my oldest, at 3, has just sized in-I need to go check their website.<br /><br />I like Target for staples, solid color t-shirts and pants. I got several pairs of cords there at the end of season for a song. <br /><br />And all I have to say about boys pants is AMEN. Seriously, aren't cargos out of style for grown men now? Why are we forcing them on our littles. amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00149271294595447912noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3647270264720619268.post-18562748984874844282013-02-22T18:26:55.119-05:002013-02-22T18:26:55.119-05:00I love this post!

And we seem to have a similar style! For my son I couldn't and can't handle all of the cutesy stuff. I wanted to dress him like a little adult! Children's Place is one of my favs! And Gap, when it's on sale! I felt the same way about Carter's it's hard to find cute boy things in there that aren't all dogs and little animals! And I can't do Gymboree. At all. Too many animals and way too expensive for me not loving it and really not even liking it! And Old Navy is hard. Even as an adult. There stuff just fits awkward. And that ruins how cute it is. Plus sometimes for it not being made all that well I feel like they are overcharging when it's not on sale! I have found little girl clothes are different than boys though. With baby #2 being a girl, I LOVE Carter's. The girl side is bright colors. And stripes and polka dots. Super cute!

I like coordinating my girls and it's one of the few places I can still do that now that my older girl is in the 'big' girl sizes. The boy clothes are also less cartoonish in the 'big' boy styles which my 3 year old can now wear and the shorts/pants are classics and hold up well (which at the rate my boy grows is needed because while he can wear a 3 now, I just took out the 12-18/18-24 month shorts!)

I get lots of Lilly Pulitzer, Hartstrings, Janie and Jack stuff for less than ten bucks at the consignment sales. A lot of stuff there is good quality because kids hardly wear clothes out in my experience so far. :)Our Pinteresting Familyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05557219560705044607noreply@blogger.com
