baby fashion, shopping + saving
Shopping is one of my favorite activities ever. And it always has been (pretty sure our delivery people think we're crazy with all the packages we get on the daily ... I should have invested in Amazon years ago). Having a baby has just made it worse (my wife would say - I would say stronger haha). I LOVE dressing Parker up in adorable little outfits. When he was first born, I started posting OOTD (outfit of the day) on IG. It was so fun putting him in different cute little combos + colors. He wears it all so well! I still try to take a picture of him daily to capture his cute outfits but now that he's so much more mobile, it's not as easy!
Now that he's older, I'm obsessed with playing around - hats, beanies, shoes (though he kicks them off immediately), and now that it's fall, I got adorable sweaters, newsboy caps + all the colored khakis. I'm also about being practical + comfortable (at least 95% of what I buy because come on, a kid neeeeeeds a bow tie + suspenders), so I make sure the material is soft, flexible + cozy for him to play in.
(like I said, sometimes you just need an adorable outfit for a photoshoot)
I'm about shopping smart - I signed up for ebates, which I thought was a scam for the longest time, but it turns out I've been missing out on free money. They seriously give you money back for shopping ... and at so many of my favorite stores!! Sign up HERE for a free $10 on your first qualifying purchase.
I also never shop without a coupon. Gap has 40% off almost daily, Carter's always has 20% - 25% coupons (and make sure you sign up for their rewards), Kohls is constantly coming out with 30% off coupons, Target is just amazing + affordable to begin with + I have the Target card so I get 5% off every purchase + when I was down at the beach, we hit up the outlets.
And at the end of the day, it's really true what they say ... you buy so many things and they really only wear it once (or never) ... so the occasional mid-day outfit change is sometimes necessary for a photo op (such as this outfit below) ;)
