A long, long time ago, when the government was fronting our bills via the military (LOL), I shopped at gymboree like it was the only kids clothing out there. The one thing i can say in my favor, is i always shopped clearance racks and my daughter is the “big” girl, and that was one place that things fit her like the tags said. I cant stand going to places with 15 brands and I buy all a size 4 and some are HUGE and some are so tiny, we cant even pull them on. Sometimes I think kids clothes are worse then women’s clothes.
But then we moved here and NO GYMBOREE. I almost had a heart attack. I don’t mind buying from wherever for Charlotte, its probably more cost effective on my wallet to not shop 4 times a month there, but now one is an hour away in Mississippi and one is like 40 minutes half way to Pensacola, Florida. I have probably waisted $50 this year in clothing that does not fit her that I bought from other places with FAKE sizing tags on them, imho.
Yesterday, I was forced to go up to the stores about 40 min from here to get some crafting supplies my local po-dunk town didn’t have. While I was up there, I thought I would just stop by and “look”.
I looked this adorable blue sweater and leggings set right into my basket:
As I am checking out, I’m spilling my Gymbo plight with the girl and she sings music to my ears…….THEY JUST OPENED ONE IN MOBILE.
WHAT?!?!
What is a girl to do but head over there RIGHT NOW and see what they have. AND the corporation sent them several boxes of clothing out of season wrongly, so *clearance* galore.
Ninety *Cough* Dollars *Cough* later, my daughter couldn’t look more gorgeous today
But I’m not sure I can feed the cats this month. Oh well, we have too many anyways.

oh she is just too darn cute! Audrey has the apple dress. We love gymboree, their clothes last the longest, are the cutest, and for some reasons stains seem to come out better! I also love that since my daughter is an amazon, she can still wear a size 2 in their clothes and not a 4 like she does in all the other brands!
Awww how adorable. Their clothes ARE super cute for girls but I can hardly find anything for my boys there. Old Navy on the other hand… We cleaned them out this weekend!
awwww, adorable outfit for a beautiful girl. Man little girl clothes rock, I feel like there is never anything new for my dudes!
Very cute !!
Maybe the cats will eat themselves so that you will have to feed them less, so you have more money next month to go there!! Sounds like a get plan to me!!
Oh, how stinking cute is that outfit! What an adorable little girl she is!
