My New Addiction

Well it seems as if I've found myself a new hobby. Since I can't very well shop for my own body at this stage of the game, I've resorted to buying stuff for our little guy on the way. As most of you know I take a weekly trip to two of my favorite thrift stores in the town I teach in. I used to search for home decor items and now I make a bee-line straight to the baby clothes. The past 4 weeks or so I think I've scored pretty big!

I've purchased numerous items from Baby Gap, Old Navy, Target, The Children's Place, and other brands I'm not so familiar with. Most of the stuff I buy is around $1 a piece and some I've even scored for about 50 cents a piece. Suh-weet!

I don't feel so bad that the total amount I've spent on baby T's hauls is less than what I would spend on just one or two pieces for myself.

Here's a peek at the goodies I've come across:

While baby boy clothes certainly don't get as much attention as the little girl pieces, I thoroughly enjoy hunting for the really cute baby boy stuff! It's almost like a little game to me.

Now, if Baby boy comes out a she...well then "she's" going to be one heck of a tom-boy dressed in boy clothes and a pink bow. ; )

Oh, and p.s. Did I mention I'm 39 weeks pregnant? Cue freak out mode.

I will admit that I totally misread the title of this post. I thought it said "My New Addition." Baby clothes are super fun to look at, but I was hoping for tiny baby pictures! Oh well! Just a few more weeks! Happy baby!

Great finds! I need to start checking out my consignment stores, they grow out of stuff so fast and I need to save any money I can these days!

Megan said...

I can't wait to see the little guy!

I was just telling a friend that clothes shopping for boys really IS fun... not as easily accessible, but when you find the really cute stuff it makes it extra fun!

You scored some amazing pieces! I love that gray and white striped hoodie in the 3rd picture! So cute :)

Such great finds! Will definitely have to remember to start consignment shopping for baby-to-be once I'm preggers. LOVE the "Save the Earth" tee - too cute! :)

Stylin little boy! Yes, boy shopping is harder but in my opinion more fun. There are some great trendy stores out there that aren't too expensive either.... but I like your thrifty idea (and so does B). Look out Carmel... I may be venturing in to check out the hidden gems!

JB said...

it is great that you can find good deals on baby cloths it is best to buy used baby stuff since they are not in them that long to buy new. Cannot wait to see pics of Theron!!! Good Luck to you and Dave!!!!

Sara @ Russet Street Reno said...

Wow, how are you finding those kinds of deals? I haven't purchased a single item of clothing for our boy. But I still have two showers to go...I can't believe you are 39 weeks already! Any time now, mama!

Tara said...

Great finds! What thrift stores do you shop at? I've never found good quality kids clothing for that cheap in STL (besides garage sales!) Please share your secret :)
