I have to brag for a minute here

I have loved thrift stores for a long time but today I think I may love them more than ever. I generally avoid buying any of Sophia's clothes in retail stores, with the exception of clearance items, because I just can't justify buying expensive things she'll grow out if in 3 months. That being said, however, I will admit I have expensive taste for myself and her. I also love dressing her up every day. So in order to feed this habit in a sustainable and affordable way, I frequent yard sales and thrift stores. 
After dropping her off at day care today I decided to pop buy the thrift store in fort hood, and to my delight there were quite a few treasures to be found!
From left to right- Janie and jack onesie, toys r us black leggings, baby gap striped leggings, baby gap navy leggings, and two pairs of baby gap lounge pants. 
This bunch originally probably cost at least $60 or $70 and I got it for just under $8. I was so pleased that I decided to try my luck at one more thrift store off post. 
I got even more lucky here. I got a pair of children's place leggings, a lambs wool Janie and jack sweater with beautiful embroidery and the tags still on it, and a Carter's set with a grey corduroy dress and a polka dot onesie for just under $9. That sweater along cost $50 according to the tag!!

I just had to share my good luck today because I am so excited! Janie and jack make absolutely beautiful baby clothing, but they are rather pricy- so to be able to find two well priced pieces in one day is so exciting! And I LOVE baby gap for Sophia because the clothing is well made and runs just a big big (which my little chunky darling appreciates!) and it is just so cute! If you can catch a good sale at gap I consider their clothing affordable, but having such a great pick was fabulous. 
I know mostly moms and grandmas read my blog so I hope you all can understand my excitement!
