MINI STYLE

Like most Mommas, I love shopping! Now having a little mini to dress has made my heart so happy! My style for Madelyn is of course a reflection of my own, I mean most of the time I wish her wardrobe came in my size. 

There are a few tips I keep in mind when shopping for M: 

-Would I wear it? She is my child so I want to dress her like me.

-How long will she wear this? Since I started shopping for M, my mom has always told me that she will grow fast so not to spend too much on her clothes as she may not get that much use out of it. M is on the smaller end but I do want her clothes to somewhat grow with her. So I shop in both the baby girl and toddler girl section. For example: a toddler shirt can now be a dress for M and as she gets older can actually be used as a shirt.
-Is it on sale? I rarely ever pay full price, I always want to feel like I'm getting a deal and I will wait for one. If I see something I love I will keep my eye on it and if it's meant for M then it will find a way home with us.

-Do I love it? Just like when I shop for myself, I try not to buy pieces unless I love it so I do that with M. 
-How will she wear this? I tend to buy pieces and not outfits when out shopping so I try to always stop and think what does she have at home that will make an outfit. 

Over the last two weeks, there have been some killer sales around and I have picked quite a few pieces for M. After bring all the goodies home I couldn't wait to play in her closet and see what would come together. So I wanted to share a few outfits I just can't wait for her to wear.
