So who else caved in and shopped at the 25% of sale + double Gymbo Visa weekend? If so, show us what you bought!

For Eva I went a little wild with Sugar Cookie. It is just so sweet and Eva is in love with pink.

To set her up for swimming we bought...

Then we got this outfit from SC:

Then we bought these capris with an adjustable waist from Kid Girl in a size 3. I held them up in the store and with the adjustable length and waist I am hoping to get a ton of wear from them.

Finally, we bought this radish tee from Grown with Love so I could have a short sleeved tee to wear with the GWL cropped jeans. Right now we have the long sleeve hot pink tee.

I wasn't planning to buy anything but then I saw the GWL line and had to have it, because we call DD our little *peapod*!

We got the SS and LS hot pink tee to go with the veggie print pants, and a white LS bodysuit as well. I also got the pink ruffled socks to match. Gymbo got me though as I notice that the prices are now 50 cents - $1 cheaper than when I bought stuff two days ago!!

Size-wise I am buying quite ahead - everything is 2T except for the bodysuit in 18 mos. DD is only 6 mos. but she is wearing an 18-24 dress from J & J (it's a little long but it looks fine, esp. as she's not walking yet). I figure she'll get more use out of everything that way!

I finally got sucked back in :) I've done a great job staying away from Gymbo...the last line in Harper's closet is Fox Trot and that is just 1 dress. So, pretty good I'd say. I couldn't resist today. We have been snowed in since Monday, so just had to get out! I took a few quick pics, so here's what we came home with.

I am not a fan of hearts. My sister will never believe I bought this outfit, but everyone needs hearts on Valentine's Day, right?

We also got the frog socks & the striped tights from SC...looking for a plain denim skirt or jumper to wear them with.

I'm glad you posted. I wanted to see some babies in the new lines. That SC outfit is TDF. I might have to cave and buy it earlier than I was anticipating.

Oh!! Harper is so cute! I love the SC line on her- what a sweetheart :) I'm planning on buying the froggie pants during GB redemption. Cute pics!

I think it's so cute that Eva loves pink! That sugar cookie recipe tee is adorable...I almost picked it up myself, and still may.

We got this from Dandelion Wishes:

I liked these pants, but haven't settled on a top for with them.
http://www.windsorpeak.com/dc/user_files/19332.jpg
And I bought these earlier this week, not today, but close enough! Eliza's birthday was yesterday, and I gave her these ...she loves rain, which is a fortunate thing for a Portland girl!
http://www.windsorpeak.com/dc/user_files/19329.jpg http://www.windsorpeak.com/dc/user_files/19331.jpg

ETA: OK, Eliza was beyond simply reluctant (think actively hostile!) to model, but here she is in the DW outfit.

Oh-- she has a lace-edged bodysuit on under the tee, so the neckline looks different than it actually is.

How do you think Eva will do with the sandals? I was thinking about getting them for M but was wondering how she'd tolerate the strap between her toes. After seeing your post, I think I'll be getting the swimsuit, too. Just need to figure out what size to buy...

Oh, Mindy, Harper is just adorable!! What a cutie! I love both of her new outfits! I just bought those pants today and will probably buy the SC outfit during redemption.

I had some items that I received as a gift that I wanted to exchange out, so I went in today. This is what I got for only $20 out of pocket:

Katie,

Eva's absolute favorite shoes are these from Landsend. (The pink ones of course!)
http://www.windsorpeak.com/dc/user_files/19350.jpg

I bought them in September intending to use them for a beach vacation and nothing else. I knew everyone advised against an open toe for a new walker but I thought since they are less than $7 it was worth it for one week on the beach. Well, Eva still wears these shoes around the house and on warm days (we live in the south) she still wears them out. We actually have to be careful not to leave them out because she will throw a fit and want to wear them even when it is cold out! The Gymbo sandals reminded me of the Landsend sandals except for the strap between the toe so I think she will love them. I don't anticipate the strap to bother her though, but I may be surprised. I was thinking she could mainly wear them to the pool, but knowing her she will probably want to wear them everyday!

Yeah, the 25% off sale ends before Gymbucks begins. :(

What a doll! I love both of Harper's new outfits!! So cute.

And, I can't remember if I've ever told you but I just *love* her name! Is there a story behind it?

parkersmama

Eliza is so cute! That first picture is priceless! I really like that outfit. The striped tee is really great. Is it loose enough (I know it's not a swing) to go nicely over the leggings? AG has a bit of a tummy these days! ;)

Thanks all for the nice comments. Not really a story behind her name. I actually found Harper in the boys' section of a baby name book, but loved it for a girl. Harper Lee (female) wrote To Kill a Mockingbird, so I figured it was ok! Jewel was my grandmother's middle name.

OMG!! Harper is SOOOOO cute. Look at that sweet face. She looks like she has a great little personality already. Okay, you just sold me on the froggie pants. :)

I haven't bought anything yet. I'm going to wait to the last day of the sale so I can think this over thoroughly. I'm looking forward to seeing what everyone here buys at their stores first. I can't tell you gals enough how much I appreciate you sharing pics and info about what you buy at the stores since I can only shop online.

Well, I just got back from Gymbo and bought a few things. I got the stripe swimsuit, the stripe tights, and the l/s orange heart shirt. Tights and swimsuits sell out fast at our Gymbo so I thought I'd get them before GB rolls around. Now I just need to find a plain denim skirt to go with the top and tights.

Denise--
That striped tee is my favorite piece. I think it's loose enough to work with leggings, although I do prefer swing tops given the option. It has raglan sleeves and some gathering at the neckline, which I think gives it a looser, less straight shape. Eliza has no tummy at all, though, and to some extent *everything* is loose on her. I've also just moved her up to 2Ts in tops and leggings.

OMG, you just totally sold me on the SC outfit. Though I loved the pants, I wasn't sure if striped pants were going to look good on a baby but your DD is proof that it works!

First I have to save that I LOVE DW! I couldn't resist getting some of my must haves now. The sales clerk said it was selling fast and that a lot of people have bought it at full price. I also got a peek at the look book and the next line looks awesome, so I'll be using gymbucks for that. I'm breaking all of my rules, because I don't like to buy from a line unless it's been marked down to 20% and then some. OH well, here goes.


I couldn't decide between these two tops because I absolutely love the onesie, but think the frog shirt matches the frog pants better.

My only piece from the EH line, but couldn't resist since it was less than $3

I also picked up this Splash top for less than $3 (one of the only pieces DD#1 didn't have) for DD #2.

The more time I spent at the store, the more I found to buy. I really like DW, so I bought a few outfits.

I couldn't resist this after seeing how cute Amy Grace looked in it.

I got several pieces from DW to mix and match:

I love the shoes and figured they were worth the $$ since they'll go with multiple outfits. DD has a lot of blue and green, so I think she'll get quite a bit of wear out of them.

Can't wait to see WFF! Hopefully it'll live up to the buzz since I'm planning on putting all 3 of my GymBucks toward it!

Eliza looks adorable in her DW outfit!! I think that the green looks really great with her red hair!! Even if she was reluctant, she looks soooo cute!
