Last year's jeans, this year's capris!

This is kind of a spin-off of to my post Last year's dress, this year's shirt!  If you have petite children like I do, they grow up faster than they grow out.  With Gavin, it was quite frustrating finding him cute clothes that fit until he reached the toddler sizes and adjustable waistlines.  It just didn't work to let him wear his last year's jeans as capris seeing as how he's a boy.

With Kailee, it was easy to make last year's jeans into this year's capris!  While we still had to get her some jeans--jeggings are actually her preference and can be found cheap at Wal-Mart--her old ones became awesome spring-wear as adorable capris.


So if your daughter grows up faster than, out, this money-saving tip may help you as well!

XOXO,

Last year's dress, this year's shirt!

Shirt 2011

Dress 2010
 This is something I happened to try with Kailee this year.  I was not ready to say goodbye to all of her super-cute dresses from last spring/summer so I decided to see if I could make them work with leggings, jeans, and shorts.  I could!


Not only do I get to see Kailee in all her adorable dresses again this year, but it's a HUGE money saver.  I have not bought Kailee a single shirt this spring/summer.

Plus thanks to my mom's generosity and ADORABLE hand-me-downs from my cousin Ella, I have not had to buy Kailee a single dress.  She is set for the summer!

XOXO,
