So maybe it was because you signed up in UK first? What size is your LO? You might be able to purchase some of the little boy/girl section AND baby sections because they overlap sizes. Also it seems like new styles are added daily which drives me nuts because I must refrain from purchasing lol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-non-mainstream-and-affordable-clothing-line#post-80187 Thu, 23 Feb 2012 08:45:00 +0000 SugarplumsMom 80187@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrstilly: But the sale items are pretty cheap! </p> <p>@anbanan15: I ended up not buying anything because all they had leftover were the NB and small sizes that we already have a lot of. I was stupid to have closed the pop-up that gave the 10% off your first order and have not been able to find it again! I think it's because I first signed-up through the UK website. Sigh. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-non-mainstream-and-affordable-clothing-line#post-80185 Thu, 23 Feb 2012 08:42:26 +0000 anbanan15 80185@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrstilly: I agree it us a little pricey but I got everything during a sale. Their % off coupons work on the sale/clearance price too! With the discount it put everything right around $10. I cannot afford full price either and our little weed is already in 18 mo at 10 mo! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-non-mainstream-and-affordable-clothing-line#post-80184 Thu, 23 Feb 2012 08:40:18 +0000 anbanan15 80184@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Wow I'm going to have to check some of these stores out! Thanks everyone!</p> <p>@Crumbs: that is exactly what happened to me when I discovered them. Sign up for their email offers. I got a great deal on my order :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-non-mainstream-and-affordable-clothing-line#post-80147 Thu, 23 Feb 2012 02:14:02 +0000 looch 80147@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@banana: me too on the CrewCuts, so cute for boys. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-non-mainstream-and-affordable-clothing-line#post-79854 Wed, 22 Feb 2012 14:23:09 +0000 banana 79854@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love shopping at Target for the basics. We bought our LO tons of cute graphic tees at Target for $3 each. I love baby gap too. And of course I go crazy at H&amp;M and Forever21. When my LO gets a bit bigger,, I will definitely be a CrewCuts shopper. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-non-mainstream-and-affordable-clothing-line#post-79827 Wed, 22 Feb 2012 13:57:14 +0000 Bao 79827@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our LO isn't born yet but when I buy clothes for nieces and nephews I love Target's style. It's very cheap and cute! You can get a t-shirt/tank and shorts for $10...that's mostly what we will buy for LO unless Gap, Gymboree, Children's place have sales...or someone else buys for LO :) I do splurge on the Children's Place jeans as gifts though because they usually have a sale and I like them a little better than Targets. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-non-mainstream-and-affordable-clothing-line#post-79802 Wed, 22 Feb 2012 13:25:44 +0000 looch 79802@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've seen Vitamins at Lord and Taylor and TJ Maxx. I had a super cute outfit for DS when he was about 3 months old. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-non-mainstream-and-affordable-clothing-line#post-79789 Wed, 22 Feb 2012 12:25:31 +0000 skibobrown 79789@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm in love w/ Mini Boden, although it's not cheap. They do have good coupon codes though. I'm also a big fan of Zulily. They sell lots of unique clothes from smaller companies at a large discount. Some of my favorite baby clothes so far come from their site. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-non-mainstream-and-affordable-clothing-line#post-79688 Wed, 22 Feb 2012 09:24:51 +0000 T.H.O.U. 79688@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MerryC: I think Vitamins is carried at Macys? I think it runs a bit short and wide though. Its nice quality! </p> <p>I pretty much stick to clearance and second hand stores to save money. Also that way, if I have to buy carters or something its usually from a different season/collection so its not the same stuff all the other babies are wearing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-non-mainstream-and-affordable-clothing-line#post-79686 Wed, 22 Feb 2012 09:22:55 +0000 mrstilly 79686@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just looked at the Pumpkin Patch website. That's expensive! $20 for a long sleeve onesie? We'd be broke if I spent that much on new clothes for DS! in 10 months, he's gone from 0-3 month to 24 month clothes, wearing each size for 2-3 months. </p> <p>I guess I'll stick to clearance sales and second hand stores where I can get 4 to 6 items for $20! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-non-mainstream-and-affordable-clothing-line#post-79653 Wed, 22 Feb 2012 08:23:37 +0000 loveisstrange 79653@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@looch: NEXT has really, really cute stuff. But yeah, I think it's Europe only.</p> <p>I 2nd H&amp;M. I've gotten some really cute and very reasonably priced things there. The one in my town always has a lot of clearance too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-non-mainstream-and-affordable-clothing-line#post-78929 Tue, 21 Feb 2012 04:51:37 +0000 j0s1e267 78929@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>H&amp;M and Zara has awesome stuff! In terms of affordablility, it's H&amp;M hands down. Sizes run big but cos my oldest is petite, clothes last her for 6-9 months or more! Totally value for money in my books.</p> <p>I got some Mini Boden with discount codes and I must say that they are pretty well made. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-non-mainstream-and-affordable-clothing-line#post-78925 Tue, 21 Feb 2012 03:43:07 +0000 SugarplumsMom 78925@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've never heard of any of these --- I'm in love with Pumpkin Patch!</p> <p>Edit: They're soooo cute I don't know what to do with myself! I woke-up with a bad neck kink and holy crap ... this is a dangerous combo. My classes won't be starting up again for another month and all I can think about now is SPRING SALES!!?! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-non-mainstream-and-affordable-clothing-line#post-78922 Tue, 21 Feb 2012 02:36:33 +0000 looch 78922@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@zippylef: Neither is Tea Collection when it's full price. </p> <p>I also remembered NEXT, but not sure if that's Europe only. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-non-mainstream-and-affordable-clothing-line#post-78652 Mon, 20 Feb 2012 16:41:44 +0000 loveisstrange 78652@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Holy crap. I looked up Mini/Baby Boden and that's is definitely NOT what I consider "affordable". lol. Whoa.</p> <p>We have Pumpkin Patch here in the UK and their stuff is too cute. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-non-mainstream-and-affordable-clothing-line#post-78579 Mon, 20 Feb 2012 14:32:30 +0000 StbHisMrs 78579@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love Tea Collection, Naartjie (so excited that they opened an outlet close to us!!) Pumpkin Patch and Baby Boden. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-non-mainstream-and-affordable-clothing-line#post-78376 Mon, 20 Feb 2012 06:42:03 +0000 pastemoo 78376@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My neighbor swears by thrift shops because her baby grows so fast (she's 14 months now). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-non-mainstream-and-affordable-clothing-line#post-78348 Sun, 19 Feb 2012 23:13:52 +0000 twinmama 78348@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I really like the few pieces of Vitamins clothing that I've picked up thrifting. I'm not sure if there's anywhere to buy it in person, but they have a website, and looks like amazon sells it too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-non-mainstream-and-affordable-clothing-line#post-78310 Sun, 19 Feb 2012 20:43:57 +0000 heffalump 78310@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@anbanan15: One of my favorite dresses for LO is from etsy. My husband and I went to rival schools, and half of it is my school and the other half his. She wore it every sat. during football season and always got so many comments! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-non-mainstream-and-affordable-clothing-line#post-78266 Sun, 19 Feb 2012 17:15:06 +0000 betsyboop 78266@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@anbanan15: Unfortunately I'm not sure because LO doesn't arrive until May! Maybe @Tina knows?<br /> Diapers.com has some of their stuff so maybe you could order it and check the sizing since it's pretty easy to return stuff with them? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-non-mainstream-and-affordable-clothing-line#post-78229 Sun, 19 Feb 2012 13:44:49 +0000 mrs. wagon 78229@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I also love Tea Collection. Every piece of our favorite clothing for RJ has been from there. So soft and comfy and adorable. Their stuff for girls is SO unbelievably cute. I constantly pick things up and say "I would TOTALLY wear this in my size" </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-non-mainstream-and-affordable-clothing-line#post-78228 Sun, 19 Feb 2012 13:43:07 +0000 looch 78228@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mini Boden has cute stuff for kids. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-non-mainstream-and-affordable-clothing-line#post-78184 Sun, 19 Feb 2012 10:45:09 +0000 chopsuey 78184@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I &lt;3 Pumpkin Patch! I usually get all of my LO's clothes from baby gap though. Nordstroms, H&amp;M and Zara have childrens' clothes! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-non-mainstream-and-affordable-clothing-line#post-78183 Sun, 19 Feb 2012 10:42:26 +0000 anbanan15 78183@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@betsyboop: I love Tea but haven't been brave enough to try it out. How does the sizing run? My LO is a little on the plump side and for let's say Carter's he is in mostly 12 or 18 mo at 10 mo old. </p> <p>@artbee: I always forget about Etsy, but I am getting better about it. Etsy finds would definitely be unique! Thanks </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-non-mainstream-and-affordable-clothing-line#post-78171 Sun, 19 Feb 2012 09:21:12 +0000 heffalump 78171@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Lo just wears what people gift her. Have you looked at etsy? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-non-mainstream-and-affordable-clothing-line#post-78153 Sun, 19 Feb 2012 07:05:55 +0000 betsyboop 78153@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think some of the things from Tea Collection are adorable, especially for girls! It's not as affordable as Carters, etc but it's not as outrageous as Jacadi either! Going to check out Pumpkin Patch! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-non-mainstream-and-affordable-clothing-line#post-78092 Sat, 18 Feb 2012 22:20:23 +0000 anbanan15 78092@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd love to hear some of the more different clothing lines your little one's are sporting these days. I get tired of putting DS in the same Carter's, BabyGap, OshKosh, Gymboree, (you get the idea) styles all the time and am always up for hearing about new finds.</p> <p>We've just discovered Pumpkin Patch and I am in LOVE! </p>
