Comfy and Long Lasting Summer Clothes

These are my absolute favorite items for summer wardrobe for my little girl. Flip flops are from Old Navy, $3.94. All clothing items from Carters.com, $5.00-$7.00. These items are not only adorable, but are made to last and are super comfy. They also come in all kinds of different colors so you are able to mix and match. My little one has been wearing these items non stop and I'm happy to say that they have held up through just about anything from spilled lunches/snacks, diaper accidents and playing outside. And let me tell you when my little one plays outside she plays hard. The ON flip flops have impressed me. They have held up beyond my expectations and my little one absolutely loves wearing them. They are easy to clean too, just take an old toothbrush and some dishsoap and they are clean. My secret weapon when it comes to stains is Shout. It may not be a secret, but I never knew about it until recently. But it definitely helps with making clothes last. Long lasting and comfy clothes for your little one is what every mom wants....

 

Enjoy!

Awesome Sale on Kids Clothing!!!!

So this is the third time I have attempted to write this blog. I keep having technical difficulties or I should say a mommy moment. So hopefully the third time is a charm. So I'll get right to it.

Carter's is currently having a $6 and Up Summer Sale online and in store. I absolutely love Carter's stuff and love shopping for new clothes for my daughter. I don't have a Carter's store nearby so I ordered online. For store locations, click here. Now when you order online you charged for shipping ($6 standard shipping, $25 Overnight shipping). I got 5 outfits for about $44 and that amount includes the shipping charge. Each piece of clothing I purchased was $6. I was also lucky enough to find an online coupon on www.retailmenot.com which brought the price of each piece down to $4.80. That's a total savings of $8.40.

• Save 20% Off Your Purchase of $40 or More. Expires 5/23/13.

                    Coupon Code: BUTTERFLY

Here's what I got starting from left to right:

1. Pink Flamingo Short-Sleeve Graphic Bodysuit Size 24m
2. Pink Flamingo Cap-Sleeve Graphic Tee and Pink French Terry Pull-On Shorts Size 24m
3. Teal Striped Swing Tank and Lime Green French Terry Pull-On Shorts Size 2t
4. Blue Flutter-Sleeve Creeper Size 24m
5. Hot Pink Cap Sleeve Striped Creeper Size 24m

Sizing depends if you go to the Baby section (size nb-24m) or Toddler section (size 2t-5t). The sale applies to both.

 

 

 

I have to say I'm extremely happy with what I got. I get a little nervous about ordering online, however, everything was beyond my expectations. The sizing runs a little big but that just means that my little one has room to grow and every mom loves that. Enjoy!
