Old Navy clothing haul

The other day when I went to the mall to get my Body Shop gift, I made a stop at Old Navy "just to look". Haha, can I ever just look? I was shocked to find that the last few days before Christmas prices were better or even less than their Black Friday prices! Not only that, but they had just added a ton of things to clearance, things that were regularly priced just last week!

My haul:

• 2 long-sleeved shirts with beaded shoulder detail (1 in each color)
• 1 3/4-length shirt with rosette detail
• 4 turtlenecks (dark gray, turquoise, white, and lavender)
• 1 black sweater
• 1 pink sequin-trimmed cardigan
• 1 corduroy skirt
• 1 pair of pink sweatpants

Total price:  $59.40! That's 11 items for less than $60... so about $5.45 per item!

The breakdown:

• Beaded shoulder shirts - I had been looking at these for ages and they were never on sale! They were originally priced at $22.50, and then appeared in clearance at $7.49. I would have preferred the dark gray in XS, but they only had S, but they did have the XS in light gray. I tried them both on and they both looked good, I couldn't make up my mind so I got both!

• Rosette shirt - I had never seen this in the store before, but it was originally priced $17.50. It's so cute! They also had a peach color but it looked bad with my skin tone. I wear dark colors a lot more anyway. $5.99

• Turtlenecks - I had bought two around October when they were $8 a piece (normal price $16.50 but they were often on sale for $8-10). They're the softest shirts I've ever worn, nice and long, and super flattering on me. They were all on sale for $5.49, so I bought all the colors I'd feasibly wear.

• Black sweater - I bought the same one in pink for $15 on Black Friday. I recently purged a lot of my old sweaters, and no longer had any black ones. They were on sale for $10.

• Pink cardigan - These are still on the website not on clearance! This was originally $36.50. Really cute with tiny sequin detailing on the pockets. $10.99

• Corduroy skirt - I love skirts, even if I never wear them in the winter. I'll try with this one, because it's so cute! $6.99

• Sweats - I have these in purple and gray, and I put them on as soon as I get home. They're so comfy! The picture makes them look salmon-colored, but they're really just bright pink. I got my other ones for $12 and $10, but these were $8.49.

I didn't have any coupons, but I did use a $20 reward card I had from credit card usage (you get points with every purchase on your Old Navy card, and they send you a rewards card after you reach a certain level).

My favorite item:

Although I probably won't be able to wear it until spring because it's 3/4-sleeved and very lightweight.

Family Dollar Kidgets Clothing Line Review

While entering a recent Sweeptakes on FamilyDollar.com about 2 months ago, I noticed an ad for Kidgets clothing. I clicked on the ad. What cute clothes for such a fantastic price!

I contacted Family Dollar and they were so gracious as to let me review some clothes from the Kidget clothing line.   I got a couple outfits for my youngest son and some for my niece so you could see how cute the clothes are for both boys and girls.

The prices for the Kidgets clothes range from $4-$8 for an outfit.  I don't know about you, but when all my kids were babies and changing sizes every three months, I just couldn't see spending a lot of money on clothes.  I'm a fan of Family Dollar anyway.  I had so much fun picking out these outfits.  Here are a few outfits I picked out for my youngest son. I looked in a couple local Family Dollars. It seems the Kidget Line only goes up to size 6. My two older boys are in bigger sizes.  They do have clothes in Bugle Boy brand for the older kids that are in really cool styles. 

The above pictured outfit is after 2 washes.  It did not shrink or fade. It was a preppy little summer outfit. size 18 months

This is another outfit I bought.  I bought it so it will fit him next summer.  This is a 24 month outfit. (If you're wondering the tag says $5, go ahead and enlarge it and see for yourself)


Then I bought a few outfits for my niece and my sister sent my some pictures of her modeling the outfits I bought her.  I got her one outfit that fits now and one a little bigger:

My son has worn his little preppy outfit 4 times since purchase so far.  As most 13 month olds are, he's into everything in his clothes.  Trying to climb steps, crawling on the floor, creeping on furniture, and these clothes held up well to the everyday wear and tear.  They did not fade after several washes. 

The green outfit on my niece came with the short and 2 coordinating shirts.  I just got her to take the pictures for me and send them.  I love the way these clothes look and fit on the kids. 

The Family Dollar Kidgets clothing line is a real bargain for children.  You may want to consider Kidgets clothes when back to school shopping for your little one or when looking for a cute outfit for a child.  Family Dollar also offers the Bugle Boy clothing line for the older ones.

Review Summary:  At only $4-$8 per outfit the Kidgets clothing line is a cute clothing line that will fit into anyone's budget.  It's also a great price to be able to give it a try for yourselves.  I found the Kidgets clothing line to be of good quality to hold up to every day wear and tear, particularly for my son who is 13 months old.
