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.
We've just discovered Pumpkin Patch and I am in LOVE!

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!

Lo just wears what people gift her. Have you looked at etsy?

@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.
@artbee: I always forget about Etsy, but I am getting better about it. Etsy finds would definitely be unique! Thanks

I 
Pumpkin Patch! I usually get all of my LO's clothes from baby gap though. Nordstroms, H&M and Zara have childrens' clothes!

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"

@anbanan15: Unfortunately I'm not sure because LO doesn't arrive until May! Maybe @Tina knows?
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?

@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!

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.

My neighbor swears by thrift shops because her baby grows so fast (she's 14 months now).

I love Tea Collection, Naartjie (so excited that they opened an outlet close to us!!) Pumpkin Patch and Baby Boden.

Holy crap. I looked up Mini/Baby Boden and that's is definitely NOT what I consider "affordable". lol. Whoa.
We have Pumpkin Patch here in the UK and their stuff is too cute.

@zippylef: Neither is Tea Collection when it's full price.
I also remembered NEXT, but not sure if that's Europe only.

I've never heard of any of these --- I'm in love with Pumpkin Patch!
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!!?!

H&M and Zara has awesome stuff! In terms of affordablility, it's H&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.
I got some Mini Boden with discount codes and I must say that they are pretty well made.

@looch: NEXT has really, really cute stuff. But yeah, I think it's Europe only.
I 2nd H&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.

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.
I guess I'll stick to clearance sales and second hand stores where I can get 4 to 6 items for $20!

@MerryC: I think Vitamins is carried at Macys? I think it runs a bit short and wide though. Its nice quality!
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.

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.
wonderful pear / 26210 posts
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.

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.

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&M and Forever21. When my LO gets a bit bigger,, I will definitely be a CrewCuts shopper.

Wow I'm going to have to check some of these stores out! Thanks everyone!
@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
grapefruit / 4681 posts
@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!
bananas / 9227 posts
@mrstilly: But the sale items are pretty cheap!
@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.
grapefruit / 4681 posts
@Crumbs: oh I never got a 10% off pop up! 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.

I think my ideas on good prices are skewed since I usually buy second hand and I've yet to pay more than $10 for any item of clothing, usually under $4.
