One would think I could peruse the J.Crew juniors line, crewcuts, sale and restrain myself. One would be wrong. However..I did use a little bit of my Yankee ingenuity,hit the sale and factored in the free shipping on all orders over $150. And then I hid the receipts..
girls crinkle bubble skirt 14.99. One word. Swoon.
the cotton pattycake skirt 24.99
ballet flats 24.99 works with both outfits though..
flamenco top 24.99 Ole!
Giraffe print tassel top 29.99
As much as I'd love to pair the tops with white jeans, we all know what happens when you put a child in white pants..so as close to white as we can go. Worn in vintage slim jeans 39.99
and a jacket for the chilly bus stop 34.99
and because every girl needs a first day of school dress..you may as well go big..
$54 and absolutely delicious. And I can totally see my 4 year old rocking this with her hot pink cowgirl boots.
I'd fathom a guess that I've accomplished my $150 purchase minimum (cough, cough), but what I've also accomplished is ordering all items that can work together. All the tops can be worn with the jeans, the jacket can be worn over every outfit, the shoes can be worn with every outfit, the dress over the jeans..Catch my drift? I could probably save a few bucks, and get a pair of less expensive jeans, maybe change out the jacket to another from Target/Walmart. However because I'm I'm sticking with quality, timeless pieces, I don't need as many. I want that jacket to hold up through the playground, the school bus... The jeans are already distressed. If the knees blow out, so be it. Adds to the look.
Also keep in mind that when I buy, I with three little girls in mind. A Walmart jacket for $13.00 is fabulous, but it's only going to make it through one child. A J. Crew 27.99 jacket will most likely make it through two, possibly, three children. By that point we'll take that jacket and call it "vintage".
Shop fast mamas.. Like summer, and lesser quality pieces, these prices won't last long..
