My favorite jammies for SYT are Hanna for sure. I can wash them a zillion times and the colors don't fade, they don't pill, and they're just really cute. I've found them at Costco too, so keep your eyes open. I also love the other Hanna clothes I've gotten (mostly off ebay or from consignment shops!!). I like the idea of mom to mom sales, but up here in the north, parents don't "do" smocking, bubbles, longalls, etc nearly as much (if ever), so it's a lot harder to find that kind of stuff. So I do a lot of ebay up here!!

I really wish there were more options for boys. I'm so glad my sister is going in the smocked outfits, mini boden, dress like a baby direction. I'm not a fan of baby boys that dress like little men (purely because after 3 or so those are the only options!)

I am going to check out those smocked clothing sites you linked to. Zulily has had some great sales recently!

SUPER helpful. I made many rookie mistakes shopping for Henry when he was first born and am now hunting for bargains so that my husband does not take my AMEX away.

Also, am very interested in reading SAHM posts tomorrow. I have a big fat decision ahead of me and I'd love to hear how others decided to stay home.

I love Children's Place for my boys. Their boys clothes are cut wide, which is nice for my (ahem) stocky oldest child. Their footie pajamas are great quality.

Their girls clothes are hit and miss. I have two complaints. First, my girl is also sturdily built, and girls stuff from there (and everywhere else) is just not wide enough. I tend to buy alot of stretchy t-shirt type clothing two sizes up, and hem or roll them up. The other issue there (and everywhere else) is that there's a fair amount of just...trashiness. My 2 year old does not need polyester lace trimmed items, or a streetwalker pleather trench with faux fur (not making that up, it was there last Christmas).

Honestly, I buy alot of stuff from Target. Children's Place is better quality and lasts longer (my third kid is wearing her oldest brother's hand-me-downs), but Target has cute, non-trashy, reasonably modest, inexpensive clothing.

I did not much care about modest girl's clothing till I had a girl. Now every time I go clothes shopping for her I am enraged at what retailers think is appropriate to sell for the under-10 crowd.

Hannah Anderson? I will not buy a 2 year old a $78 dress. I barely justify that dress for myself, let alone someone who will grown out of it in three months. I will admit that their stuff is pretty cute (and modest!). But still. $78 is $78.

Great tips! I try to never buy retial. Its pointless when you can find almost the same if not the same exact thing for cheaper. I love a good deal!!! Its like a high I tell ya :)
