You only paid WHAT for that outfit??

I'm linking up with Kelly's Korner: Show Us Your Life-Where do you shop for kids?

I get asked a lot where I find Macy's clothes and hairbows.  A lot of her clothes come from The Children's Place when they are having a good sale combined with a coupon (you can almost always find one).  Also, they tend to offer free shipping on any order at least once a month.   Here's an outfit I ordered online from there, I think I paid around $4 for it:


And this was one of my favorites, after coupon was around $4 also:


This was her outfit for the 4th of July, her onesie was from The Children's Place, but her bow came from Zulily for around $5...LOVE it!


I also love consignment sales. I was able to get this dress for $1!  I think the brand is Good Lad.



But here lately I would say the bulk of her clothes have been coming from none other than EBAY!  You can find some really really great deals on NEW clothes.  I have gotten several Gymboree,  Rare Editions, and Bonnie Jean brand items with the tags still on them for a fraction of the retail price.   I have also bought several handmade bows from a particular lady on Ebay. I think I just searched "boutique hairbows".   I try to get ones that I have a specific outfit(s) in mind that the bow will match.  Another tip is to find a seller with LOTS of items for sale that will combine shipping.  You will save a lot this way.  You will soon find sellers that you want to buy from again and again..I know I have!

Here is one outfit that came entirely from Ebay (paid $5.75 for the dress, it retails for $52.00):


Here is a better shot of her bow, it is light purple and brown with cute horses on it; one of my favorites:


And here is another Rare Editions outfit brand new from Ebay.  Also with another cute bow from ebay, this one has cows on it (probably my favorite, love the feathers!).   I paid around $7 for this one and around $4 for the bow.  I got it for her to wear to a wedding and she has worn it a few more times including this past weekend.  I have seen the exact same outfit in a particular store for $40.



Here is one of my best deals I have found on Ebay.  It's a handmade pillowcase dress with Macy's name monogrammed on it.  You will never guess what I paid including custom monogrammed name...


Ok I'll just tell you...


$5.99 with FREE shipping!!  I couldn't believe no one else bid against me..that was an AWESOME deal!  Here is a pic of Macy wearing her dress.  Also, when this dress gets too short to be a dress it can be worn as a top...such a bonus!!  (notice her bow, this one with ladybugs... another ebay find!)



The deals are out there, you just have to find them!
