I am pathetic - hanna got me

[dules]

Even worse, we're going to Kittery next week so there will likely be more.

I decided that since our last playdress sets have sold so ridiculously well on eBay, we should get a new set this year (so whoever said I would give in to the playdress in 06 earlier, you win!).
- Add 1 playdress, leggings, socks in pink/orange to my cart

Then I can never handle having nothing else that goes with the leggings because sometimes the dress gets wet/dirty in the day but the leggings are fine.

- Add 1 Snowman boxy tee to my cart

Then I really, really love the Journey's End fleece and "fur" hat and it will go with our (last year's) jacket and bibs as well as our Corky coat.

- Add 1 Journey's End hat to my cart

THEN we need the matching mittens because they are on sale

- Add mittens to my cart

I went back and forth on the Kimono Gardens set and finally decided to nix it....and was sooo proud of myself for only spending around $100 with shipping...then this morning I TOTALLY gave in and added:

- It's Cozy in Here dress
- Matching footless tights
- Kimono Gardens dress
- Matching tights

I have totally lost it. LOL!

Best,
Mary

LOL. I'm soooo envious :)

I need to place an order but haven't committed to what I want yet ;) I have a whopping $10 gift card from them (they accidentally sent me someone's order one time and then asked me to ship it back to them before it even arrived, and for my trouble they sent me a $10 GC). Yeah, that will barely cover shipping, but of course, I *have* to use it.

Enjoy your order...everything sounds wonderful and adorable.

Fun stuff! :)

Which Cozy dress and footless tights did you choose? I'm going to order a shirt I forgot to get last month and am probably going to add one of each of these. Are the tights as heavy a knit as their regular knit tights?

I've already spent over $300 this fall on HA, and I'm thinking of placing another order. I had vowed I wouldn't get any of the HA playdresses this time since I didn't think they were that different but I'm this close to getting the purple one. The Kimono gardens dress is tempting too.

I also got the cozy in here dress (I bought the purple one w/the footless tights). Did you see that they have matching "mix it up" socks available online only? I picked those up as well.

LOL, sounds like you chose some great pieces! (Hanna got me today, too.)

[dules]

Hi there! :) We got the dress with the violet top and the matching violet footless tights. I am guessing the tights will be like Hanna's regular (NoWaLi type) tights, as opposed to the super thick loose tights. If they have violet leggings at the outlet next week I might just do those.

Which dress/es are you looking at?

Best,
Mary

[overcome]

Oh I am so glad I am not the only one...

But not only did Hanna get me, so did Gymboree!!!

Yikes!!!

Enjoy the new clothes and take lots of pics when your DC wears them :-)

[dules]

Gee, thanks, I just added the socks to my order....LOL! They look really cute but I sort of wish I had not seen them! Hehe.

Did you receive the dress yet? I'm very curious to see how it fits since they describe it as a playdress and yet say it fits below the knee.

Best,
Mary

[dules]

Um, I am HOPING these will fit for 2 years, but if not, sure. Why not? LOL. And there will be more Corkys to come for sure....I just looked in the closet today. (embarrassed emoticon here)

Best,
Mary

I'm boycotting Gymboree, or they would have snagged me as well.

[jennifer_r]

I received the dress about three weeks ago. To tell you the truth, I forget how it looked on DD, other than it being really cute. I think it's more of a "boxy" look in that the dress hangs straight down. The fabric is very casual - kind of like t-shirt material. I have to exchange all the clothes up for the next size (90) because it fits with only a little room (and after washings it might be too short). I'm actually going to a friend's today and she bought a 90 for her daughter in the same playdress (she's already worn it and washed it) so I'm going to try it on. Her daughter is a bit bigger than mine and she said the 90s are huge on her. Ehhh, frustrated . . .

BTW, my friend didn't know about the socks either until I told her and will be adding it to her "cart" next time too. She and I feed each other's daughters' clothing addictions. I'm going to bring up the MB catalog today and show her that's stuff too.

Thanks, Mary. The footless tights should be perfect, then.

Well, I was going to get the one with the berry bloom top because we already have berry bloom tights and leggings, but this morning Sarah decided she wants the same one you got. If I go that route, would you mind getting some 100 violet leggings for me at the outlet, too? :)

I just saw that the top I was going to get to match Sarah's skirt is backordered until October or November, depending on color. Grrr! :(

I'm sending back some things from summer she didn't wear, so I feel like this will all be free. Well, at least the shipping will be. :)

>well.


Do tell...why are you boycotting Gymboree?

[mapg]

I'm mad that I didn't get one of the random coupons that they sent out this year. I've spent way too much money there for the last 12 years, and being excluded ticked me off. Add that to less than great customer service (I like people to pull outfits together and have a vague sense of how things are running) and a series of kid girl lines I don't really like, I'm hanging onto my money (at least there). I don't think I've bought anything since May circle of friends or the buy 2 get 1 free-- like any addict, these events run together, so I'm not sure which. SA that I really liked isn't at my local store.. Maybe after 12 years of being annoyed at Gymboree's crappy customer service, it was just time.

I was wondering when you would give in!!! I love the Kimono gardens dress!!!

[overcome]

i would feel the same way if i were you. well, this was my 1st big order, so we'll see how it goes...

[mapg]

I like most of the baby girl stuff, so I think you will be pleased. I loved Gymboree leggings and bodysuits for crawling babies and early walkers, along with the tees and bloomers in summer. It makes so much sense at this age to have stuff that will mix and match, you can get by with fewer items at an age that it seems you are constantly changing clothes. At 4, if we change outfits, everything has gotten wet or muddy, not just one thing. But Gymboree holds up well, and I loved the stuff we had last year. Let everyone know how you like your stuff.
