Spring Clothes .... for your BIG GIRL

Hi there! I was going to do this all as one post for my three girls but I quickly realized it would be way too long. So today I'm going to talk Spring clothes for your big girls, or in my case my 7 year old Kamryn. Then I'll do little boys Spring clothes and after that I'll finish up the kids Spring clothes must haves with toddler girls. Phew! This is going to be fun!!!



Okay, today lets talk Spring clothes for your big girls.

I'm a huge fan of getting the biggest bang for your buck. In my world the best way to do that is layers and staple pieces that'll last you at least 2 years. For the kids I keep it pretty simple. Majority of their clothes are from Old Navy, Target and Carters. Occasionally I'll buy them something from somewhere else but I find that is wear I can find the best sales and the best quality for the price. Plus, kids ruin clothes. They get grass stains you can't get out, food stains, rips, etc etc. I don't sweat it if I didn't spend a lot on their clothes.






Now, on to Spring clothes for your big girl...

Kamryn is a huge fan of dresses all year round. It's really hard to get her into anything but a dress. So I just follow her lead. In the winter I really try to dress her warm and forego dresses as much as I can but in the Spring its game on!Every Spring I like to update her closet with just a few things....

Dresses like this:

Kamryn can wear this straight through the Spring and well into the Summer, as well. This dress is just $15 at Carters right now. We got it on sale for only $10 a couple weeks ago.


In Spring I pop a cute jean jacket over it. Kamryn has worn the same jean jacket for 3 years. Yes, 3 years. It started off too big and we rolled up the sleeves, then it fit just right. I did buy her a new one this year (in a size too big to get more use out of it) but she's complaining its too big so she's wearing the old one. Again, we just roll up the sleeves and you can't even tell they are too short. Jean jackets are great because she can wear it outside and inside too.

 I always buy my girls a bunch of coordinating leggings to go with their dresses. I love to mix and match prints too! So, on a nice Spring day its dress, jean jacket, a pair of leggings and Kamryn is ready to go. Leggings are another thing, that as long as they don't rip holes in the knees (yanno being a kid), they can last you a couple years. Even if they are full length ones the next year they can fit like capri's!

For shoes she can wear some flat sneakers like these. Kamryn and I love a slip on sneaker for a few reasons. One shes not totally confident in tying her shoes just yet, so I don't have to worry about her being at school and having to do that. Two they are super easy to put on in a rush. Hello, the bus is coming....HURRY!!! And three she can wear them with or without socks and they still look cute.

On the really warm Spring days Kamryn loves to wear sandals instead of sneakers. Usually she'll wear something like this. Cute and stylish. I've found awesome sandals this year at Carters and Target. The ones below are Oshkosh.

I tend to buy her two pairs of sandals in the Spring that will usually last her all throughout the Summer too. And of course, a couple pairs of cheap flip-flops from Old Navy, because you can't go wrong with those. And if they break you don't care because they only cost you $2.

When Kamryn is at school and the weather is hot, because before you know it the temps go from chilly to blazing hot.... I like for her to cover her shoulders and with a tank top dress that isn't possible so instead of a jean jacket we go with a jean vest. 

Cute, right? She can wear this vest with dresses and rompers. With tanks and short sleeves, even long sleeves. It's so versatile and comfortable too.

Speaking of rompers. I love a good romper!

Adorable, right? So easy and so cute!! I found the one above at Carters. 

I think I need it for all my girls! 

Living in New England the seasons change so fast. Well, except Winter. Winter takes forever to go away. But once Spring hits the temps warm up but then also flip flop day to day. Sunday it was 80 degrees and 2 days later it was in the 40s. So I need stuff that can work in all kinds of weather. I don't know about you but my wallet cannot handle buying new clothes for every season so we stretch it. Quite literally actually. HA! I do 99% of my shopping online. I'm a stay at home mom which means my kids are with me 24/7. Shopping with 4 little ones is not high on my list of fun things to do. So online works much better. You can find so many sales and coupon codes while shopping online. I've been known to fill my cart at Old Navy with things we all need and leave it until a 40% off sale/coupon code pops up. Because 9 times out of 10 if I wait a couple days, there will be a 40% off sale. Carters too! They are always having BOGO sales and 50% off and sometimes more! Make sure to check back at their sites frequently or subscribe to them by email.

Thanks for reading and I hope this helped and gave you some good ideas.Have the best day!!
