So Grace is now 10 months old! I can hardly believe that one year is just around the corner. But with all of the new things that she learns/figures out daily I should not be too shocked that she is growing up.This is all to say that today Grace and I had a new experience. We went shopping for clothes at a department store! Yes, I know it might be hard to believe but during my pregnancy and also during her life so far I have not bought any clothes for her from a department store. Yes, I have purchased about 10-15 dollars of clothes for her but it was all from thrift stores or yard sales.
It all began when I was reading one of my American Baby magazines. They had a 20% discount coupon to Gymboree. I looked at it and thought, "wow that might be nice, but Gymboree is just so expensive (at least compared to my usual department store...the fine establishment of Wally World!). Then I got to thinking well, if I could get it off of the clearance rack, it might not be too bad.
Add that to the fact that Grace would not nap today, and I just needed to get out of the house. So I grabbed the coupon, Grace, and the diaper bag and headed out the door! We got to Gymboree and looked around. I found this outfit on the clearance rack :)
It is for 18-24 months so she will wear it spring/summer/fall or sometime around there. I thought it was so cute. And to make it even better, with all of the discounts and coupons it was only $10.00! Forgive me, I am proud of my find.Her first store bought outfit purchased by me...It was a good experience.

Grace just looks so grown up in this picture. She is so sweet! Will be beautiful in that little outfit. Love Mamaw Betty
Cute! Betty is right - Grace will look adorable in that. And you are training her at a young age how to range far and wide for the best deals. Good job.
Oh, and hey, Matt, I'm usually no good at spotting family resemblance - but in this picture, she looks just like you. All my friends say so, too.
