Dressing a girl is a WHOLE new ballgame. Or maybe just ball (as in “gala”).
Tights, bows, SHOES, dresses, SHOES.
I was somewhat inspired by this post by Steph and realized I hadn’t visited the local resale establishment since Baby K was just a wee babe (looking for Halloween costumes at the time).
For Shame.
So, she and I took a trip while the boys were in school.
I’ll admit, I was a little overwhelmed at first. There was SO MUCH girl stuff. I used to have to pick through quite a bit to find decent things for the boys (many of The B Man’s clothes came from resale and have been passed down to Little G). But the girls stuff – WOAH!
So, after two passes I picked out a few dresses and a sleeper and THEN.
THEN I saw the shoe bins. Three of them with Baby K’s current size and future presumed size for Summer. O.M.G. I was in heaven.
We came home with ONLY six pair. I could have bought twice that many or more. Oh and the total, a little over $17.00. Score.
And today, I’ve been on the internet inquiring about bows, headbands, more shoes, pillowcase dresses on Etsy, etc.
Yep, it’s definitely started. It’s all over Dear (a.k.a Tim).
Love, your girls! : )

Holy CUTENESS! For 17 bucks I would buy those shoes and Evie and Gracie have both been out of those sizes for YEARS!
And we wonder how we all grow up obsessed with shoes!!

That sounds like heaven. I’m jealous.
We have three girls (females anyway) in our house, and I couldn’t possibly tell you how many pairs of shoes we have.
I LOVE this shot.
Well done!
Yes, dressing girls is FUN!!! In my case, it gets pretty expensive so I don’t get to go as shoe crazy as I would like too. Six pairs for under $20 is a steal of a deal
I LOVE it too! After YEARS of having boy, after boy, after boy, after boy, I was so excited to have a girl again. I LOVE resale shops and find tons of great items on eBay too! (lots of designer clothes for 1/4 the price! Love me some Marese, Baby LuLu & Hanna Andersson, but don’t love their prices. LOL)
Great score on the shoes!
ok she officially has more shoes then me. I need to go shop now.
HOW CUTE ARE THOSE!!!!!!!!
I will live thru you….my world will likely be sneakers…and barefeet!
Oh those little black ones with the cut outs!
Sigh.
Devine.
You’re raising that girl right
since it was only $17, it doesn’t really count. You scored a deal, Elaine! So really, Hubs should be happy!
Oh. My. Word. Those shoes look so fabulous. That is exactly why I want a baby girl. How much fun is that? I am sure your husband will appreciate it when his baby is the cutest baby around in the Summer : )
Elaine,
Can I call dibs on the black satin and silver shoes from your pic? But only when Baby K has outgrown them of course. I wouldn’t want to deprive a girl of her shoes.

ooooh, you hit the jackpot! she is gonna be one stylish little gal. Isn’t it fun?! I love thrifting.
Love bargains! I don’t seem to have success at resale stores though. I should keep trying. And I spend way too much time on Etsy bookmarking things for Butterfly and friends.
Enjoy those bargains—my girls were only wanting UGGS on our last shoe trip….ugh!
Oh how I wish my kids – especially my daughter could wear any shoes. She has to have wides and sometimes extra wides. I never got to have shoe fun with her. I’ll live vicariously through all of you. Great finds.
My friend has an Etsy and makes adorable little girl dresses and outfits. You might be interested. I think her prices are really good. http://www.etsy.com/shop/BellaShade
SCORE!
They are totally cute.
It has totally hit me too!
I love her in headbands and I can’t get enough for her.
LOVE
so much that I need to learn how to make them!
A girl can never have too many shoes!
I know I’ve told you this before. God knows what he’s doing by not giving us a little girl. If I was able to shop for a little girl I would literally drive us into the poor house. Shoes aaagh SHOES! I love them.
I need a girl now…seriously that way….when she is born Baby K could maybe loan her those silver flats?
I’m in love with resale shopping…really I am!
THOSE SHOES!!!!! AHHHH!!! They are so freaking cute!
Yeah, after dressing three little boys a girl is bliss! Todd should definitely be worried.
I couldn’t agree with you more. Dressing a girl is a whole new game. Just don’t go to Gymobree.com and look at there 60% off section. I get into SO much trouble there.
This is why I learned to sew!!! I love making pillowcase dresses and skirts for my girls and OH how they love it!
So…if you’re in the market for cute girl clothes, you know where to find me
Adorableness friend
Aren’t baby girls just fun to shop for?!
xoxo
great finds! She will be the envy of the block!
Wow.. you are a lucky lady! I have two boys and how I would love to shop for little girl shoes, they are adorable. Oh well, I guess I am stuck with Spider Man for a few more years
Oh, those shoes are adorable! I couldn’t find my girls’ sizes at consignment, but I got on ebay and found a pair of Stride Rites and spent $5. I thought I did good.
And, there are soooo many bows out there…it’s crazy.
