In-Style Threads



We are sure all you moms out there have probably started shopping for clothes. Of course, all the kids want the latest and greatest, most in-fashion items out there, right? Or at least you do! Well, let us Mommies help you out with a few of our favorite shops. Plus you will all get a chance to win some of them!

One our new favorite items is the Skirty from Amoretti. It's the answer to that perennial problem of how to keep your little girl looking together while she's in a dress or a skirt. It might be your three-year old doing the classic hitching-up of her dress to check on a situation that is going on with her stomach, letting the whole world in on the news that she's got her undies on backwards. It may be a four-year old, conscientiously smoothing her skirt over her knees, not yet aware that if your feet are on the chair and your knees are up around your chin, then the point of keeping your skirt down has been lost. It could be your five-year old, showing the dinner company how she's learned to stand on her head. Or it might be your 4th grader who likes to wear a skirt to school but also likes to jump off the swings...

We are all excited to finally have this answer and we all would like to add how stinking cute our girls look in them!

Bitty Braille has the most unique shirts we have ever seen. We all completely feel in love with them the moment we saw them. We have never seen children's t-shirts with Braille on them. The concept behind Bitty Braille is that it introduces Braille to young children. Bitty Braille features simple "kid-friendly" fun words, written on tees in Braille, with exquisite faceted rhinestuds for girls and metal studs for boys. Bitty Braille donates a portion of every sale to the American Foundation for the Blind (afb.org). The AFB is a national nonprofit organization founded in 1921 to provide research, representation, information and discussion regarding the possibilities for people with vision loss. Helen Keller worked for AFB for over 40 years until her death in 1968.

When we first saw Lark and Loon each of us melted. We all said how we wished they came in adult sizes! Lark and Loon commissions original pieces from artists across the country and turns them into unique, wonderfully soft, carefree clothing for children ages 2 to 12. All of our tees, drops and leggings are pure cotton, printed with water-based inks and USA made. Lark and Loon’s creations are go-to favorites for those seeking one-of-kind everyday, classic clothes to nurture the inner artist of all those who wear it. Most items come in size 2/3 all the way to a size 10.

Lark and Loon is gearing up for their back to school trunk shows. Trunk Shows are a great way to mingle with friends and neighbors, and purchase unique artistic clothing. Hosts receive 20% of their show profits towards clothes or cash, so you get paid to party! Interested potential hosts can contact Lark and Loon at nest@larkandloon.com

Tote & Tee has some of the cutest t-shirts for kids! Register at Tote and Tee for a chance to win $25 Store Credit in their monthly drawing.Do you love Tote and Tee?

We all grew up wearing chonies from Hanes. In fact it's the one company we all use a lot. We have all purchased many, many pairs of chonies and socks for our little ones. Were all about comfort.

I needed a Skirty when I was a kid! I "shop" through my niece's hand me downs for my daughter and Old Navy or GAP outlet for me. They just opened a Burlington Coat Factory near my house and I think I may start to do a lot more shopping there. They have some great deals!

We do a lot of shopping at JC Penney because they offer slim sizes. Also shop at Kohl's, TJ Maxx & my oldest likes Ambercrombie & Aeropostle but I limit that.

The Cook Family said...

We try to shop wherever there are good clearance sales, and try to get as much the year before (though this involves some guestimation of size). Kohl's is often good for this.

Where do I do my back-to-school shopping.... hmmmm..... In the hand-me-downed boxes in the attic?....

Well, we did go to Target to get some important things that didn't pass down sell, like socks and briefs.

Kohls and Target - and I just got some great deals at Sears!

joannaonthelake said...

I really like purchasing clothes at Target for my children. I find that Target offers styles that are really hip and trendy for children, but at the same time won't break the bank and they stand the test of time in terms of durability. The Mossimo brand is great for both my son and daughter and they are very happy with what I purchase for them! I noticed this summer that KMart also offered some really cute clothes for children. I normally don't shop there, because I didn't like the styles or quality of the clothes, and although I didn't purchase any there, I did see some that impressed me, and I may decide once the school year kicks into high gear, to revisit there to see what I may want to get.
