I loved the baby girl stuff at Gap, but was just so-so about toddler girl last year when my DD started to get big enough for toddler. I actually like some of their spring stuff this year for toddlers, but it's so hit or miss. Luckily my daughter's growth slowed way down so she still fits in the baby stuff at 21 months. I like Old Navy's toddler stuff sometimes, but I find that hit or miss too. Right now I'm loving Tea and Mini Boden, especially heading into spring.

Gymboree and Nordstrom Rack

Old Navy, TCP, Target are my go tos. And sometimes Carter.

Tea and Boden are my faves, followed by Baby Gap

H&M! My kid is 94th percent for height and 20 for weight, tall and skinny, H&M fits and it is hip enough for me.

@youboots: @twodoghouse: UGH! Let me tell you, if you don't like toddler Gap, be glad you don't have to try to shop in the Girls section. My almost-5-year old is outgrowing the toddler sizes and I haaaate almost everything in the girls' section. I'm not sure what I'm going to do, because I can't afford everything Boden, Tea, and HA!

@Littlebit7: yes, it does. Gap runs wide, IMO. H&M is a lot skinnier. Gymboree is our favorite for jeans though, they carry slim sizes online and you can sometimes find them in store too.

We do mainly Target, Old Navy, and Gymboree. Some Carters, but I think Osh Gosh is cuter for older kids. In a rare occasion TCP, but I find that their stuff tends to get torn up really fast.

@youboots: jealous of your HA outlet! I discovered HA last year through HB and ordered a few things when people came to visit and could bring them to me. Love it!

I go for H&M for daycare clothes. I also haven't liked toddler Gap as much as baby Gap, but I usually get a few pieces there. If I find Boden on sale, I might splurge from time to time, and that's where I bought both of my LO's winter coats. Oh, and Zara from time to time, but I have not been impressed with quality.

@youboots: $10 HA PJ's?? So jealous! My 7 mo old is nearing the toddler size stage so I am following. She is tall and skinny too and I struggle with things being long enough. Target circo leggings in 12m already fit and hold up well. Carters surprises me with cute pieces from time to time- they have some cute chambray things at the moment. I too find Gap to be hit or miss and wide/odd fitting even in the baby sizes.
Nordstrom has cute pieces from Tucker + Tate/Tea collection but I can't justify paying full price.

I've bookmarked several consignment sales around town this Spring and I'm hoping to find some good things that way. Are there any websites that list consignment sales in your area?

DD gets most of her clothes from my mom. I supplement with local brands like H&M, Lindex, KappAhl and I love NextDirect for their free shipping. I get the best deals from H&M, but my little chunks is starting to outgrow their line - she needs wider cuts of clothing and H&M is typically for a thin, tall kid.

@ldh112: the one in my area is awesome! I find a lot of carters, Gymboree, gap, etc. and if she doesn't want to wear it, I don't feel like I wasted my money. Toddlers are so fickle, I just don't want to go there! Oh and swimsuits and rash guards for both kids. I bought her an Ariel one that looks brand new! They're SO pricey new!

Carter's, Baby Gap, H&M, Gymboree, Children's Place, Old Navy are the usual places I shop/browse at.
