Maddy's Fall Haul

Maddy is a growing girl. She no longer can fit in anything T related...4T 5T. She just got an outfit for her birthday that is 5T. The shirt is ok....the pants are too short. I was shocked when she put those pants on and saw highwaters. I typically have her fall/winter wardrobe complete by now. In fact, I usually take a trip down to Georgia to visit the OshKosh outlet center. Since moving back out on my own, that is definitely a luxury and something I don't do anymore. I don't have her wardrobe ready and it's not nearly as big as it usually is. I'm ok with that though. I just feel thankful that God has given us exactly what we need plus some. To get her fall/winter wardrobe started we went to Wal-Mart. I did take a look at the OshKosh outlet center in Pigeon Forge, TN and spent way too much money on 2 shirts and 2 pants. Their selection wasn't as good as it used to, or they just have cuter things for babies lol. Prior to our Pigeon Forge get away I had also checked JcPenny and The Children's Place. I must say I was highly disappointed in both stores. They hardly had anything in her size and what they did have was horrible. I wish designers would keep kids clothes cute and innocent and stop trying to "grow them up" earlier than they should. Wal-Mart had some really cute things for Maddy and I'm so excited to show you them. It's nothing fancy or fall out of your seat adorable, but I think they are pretty cute and practical. Before I show you I have to say though that it was a bittersweet shopping trip. She is no longer in the baby section of Wal-Mart. We have officially graduated to the big girls section. The big girls section has more selection than the baby section did, but it's more confirmation that she is growing up way too fast.

We even had to get new socks. Even if she wasn't growing she really needed new socks because hers are caked with dirt stains from crawling around outside in the gravel. I have no idea how to get them out. They have soaked for hours in vinegar and baking soda . I pretreated by scrubbing a baking soda paste with an old toothbrush. Nothing is getting the stains out. Her foot is growing as well. She is pretty much in a size 11 now so I got two different sizes. Her current shoe is a 10.5 so she got socks for size 6-10.5 and then socks that are size 10.5-4. Hopefully these last a little while and I can keep the stains off!

I picked this shirt out. It's probably my favorite out of what we got. I did of coarse ask her if she liked it. I really think she wanted one of everything lol.

Pink is her favorite color so of coarse we had to get some pink. Actually we got more pink than anything.

We got this shirt, but in the blue color you see above it. It is a solid color shirt and we also got the matching leggings to go with it. 

 

 

 

 

We got one more pink shirt that has an owl on it...it's fleece. I can't find the picture online and my photo stream from my phone isn't showing the pictures I took of her clothes. We got more pants than shirts We got 3 pairs of the leggings (denim, black, and purple). It's a good start to her fall/winter wardrobe.
