Where I Shop for Kids Clothes

Pretty sure it's science that anything shrunken down is 10x cuter. Baby leg rolls? ADORABLE. Mine? Questionable. Same goes for skinny jeans, tiny pretend Birkenstocks and miniature puffer jackets. I love dressing toddlers! Today I'm sharing exactly where I buy Lydia and Cannon's clothes, when I buy them, how the sizing differs for each brand, etc.

Also I'm trying to be better at kid capsule wardrobes! So now I only buy them each 6-8 outfits that I LOVE and they just repeat them every single week instead of having drawers stuffed with clothes.

Here's the breakdown:

TODDLER GIRLS

Tops - Zara for tees/blouses/sweatshirts. I always buy Zara during end-of-season sales and stock up for the next year! You have to guess a bit on sizing but it saves a TON of money. Generally I've found Zara girl TOPS run shorter so size up.

Leggings - Cat & Jack LEGGINGS from Target. So many colors, cheap, durable. True to size.

Jeans - The only DENIM I've found that fits Lydia's thin legs are H&M. Makes sense since their women's clothes are sized for barbies.

Dresses/Rompers - For church dresses Target and then once a year I splurge on a fancy ($20-30) dress from Zara. PLAY DRESSES are really cheap at H&M or Old Navy. At Old Navy always buy up a size (or two!).

Jackets - H&M and Old Navy for PARKAS, Gap or Zara for warm puffer jackets.

Shoes - Old Navy! Cutest STYLES at the best prices. And if they get hammered at the park I won't cry.

Underwear - If you need tiny sizes, H&M panties start at 1.5-years-old. Old Navy's are the thickest, Carter's UNDIES are the all around best quality. Target undies don't start till size 4. (Can you tell we've had way too many poop accidents.)

Pajamas - Walmart for $4! Because who cares what they sleep in and I actually think some of their sets are pretty cute?! And BONUS Cannon fits in a 2T and Lydia's in 4T so I make them match. :)

TODDLER BOYS

Tops - Zara's boy tees are DARLING. Buy during sales. These run more true to size than the girls but when in doubt buy up. Target for BASICS.

Leggings/Shorts - Old Navy! Cheap and BASIC.

Jeans - The only JEANS that are truly skinny on Cannon are from Zara (where else, haha). BEWARE their sizing is way off. Cannon is 13 months, average sized and currently wearing both their 6-9 month and 9-12 month jeans. Weird.

Church Clothes - Pants from H&M, DRESS SHIRTS from Gap or H&M.

Jackets - I got Cannon his bright yellow amazing PUFFER jacket on sale from Zara for $17 with free shipping! Literally he wore it every. single. day. this entire winter. Best purchase ever. True to size.

Shoes - Again, Old Navy is the BEST.

Underwear - HA just kidding we're not potty training him till he's 12.

Basically this whole post was an ode to Zara and Old Navy but for me it's helpful to break it down by item! Kids clothes add up FAST since they outgrow them every 6 months but I try and stick to a few quality pieces that I won't get sick of, only buy on sale, and then wear the heck out of them!
