My Gymboree Shopping Addiction

When my last little princess was born back in 2004, her closet was all Carters and Oshkosh. They had the cutest stuff and I never walked in to a Gymboree store until I heard that Oshkosh sold out to Carters. That’s when the Gymboree addiction started...spring of 2006.

At first, I started buying three or four outfits from each line they would release. Little by little, it was more and more that I was loving AND coming home with. Within just a few short months, my little girls closet was completely transformed. It was 99% Gymboree and about 1% of dresses from other boutique brands. It remains that way still today.

Did I mention how I fell head over heels in love with Gymboree? ~Smiles~

I often wonder if it takes other moms as long to decide what their little princess will wear each day. I typically take a good 15 to 20 minutes or more picking out each days attire...the outfit itself, the perfectly matching hair bows (Yes, I make them all myself!), the jewelry, the shoes, stockings or socks, the matching purse and even matching panties.

When it comes to having that much of a selection to pick from, it’s difficult. At least that is what I tell my hubby when he tries to rush me. :) To be honest, I have many favorites hanging in my little girls closet and that just makes it so much harder to pick just one!

And now I wonder what is it going to be like deciding once my online order from the newest Watermelon Picnic line finally gets here? (My favorite summer line to date from this year!) That’s another 10 outfits and then 3 more Mermaid Magic outfits...and all of those matching accessories. I am sure I will have the hair bows and clippies made within a day to match of getting my order.
