Makenna's Clothes

I get so many compliments about how I dress Makenna. People tell me all the time, "she always dresses so cute, you must spend a lot of money on her clothes!" And my reply to that is, "no, I don't spend a lot" and then I go into details about how I feel that how a child dresses is important. I don't think that the clothes matter, or name brands, but I think that it's important for a child to look nice. Nice doesn't mean wearing your Sunday best, but wearing something that is cute, but comfortable, trendy, but age appropriate.

Now, I don't get the luxury of be able to by second hand, and I don't get any hand-me-down's either, so I have to buy Makenna's clothes brand new.

Challenges:
Cute and trendy
Fun and colorful
Unique but not weird
WALLET FRIEDLY!


Now everyone just thinks that Walmart is well, Walmart, so they must be the cheapest, and sorry to knock on a store that is great, but their not! They have cute stuff, sure, but they have stuff that every kid on the block is going to be wearing.

To fulfill my cute, trendy, fun and colorful challenge I shop around. Makenna owns a few things from Walmart, so do not think I boycotted them. I love Kohls, Children's Place, and Old Navy the most. I mix and match outfits from various places so that I can great that "Unique" aspect of my challenges. Now, they say that those are name brands, and maybe they are to some, and maybe not to others, but either way, they can be cheap! SHOP AHEAD AND SHOP THERE FREQUENTLY!  I get super saving coupons emailed to me for shopping there often, and I shop ahead to get sales. I also shop at peak times. Makenna will need a new size of clothing this fall, so in March, when all the winter and fall items were on sale because of the new spring arrivals, I did some shopping. I am slowly obtaining clothes for the fall, for Makenna, whenever I see a sale item. I don't always shop for on sale items, but about 80% of the time, it's on sale.

Here's some example of Makenna's clothes!
