A few weeks ago I took my girls shopping for one brand new outfit each for a fun fall look as they head back to school. We did our shopping at a place I haven’t thought before to check out for affordable, on-trend clothing: Kmart.
When we arrived, I was completely shocked by the HUGE selection of clothing they had for children, as well as the number of items on sale or clearance, marked down from what I would consider to be reasonable prices at their suggested retail price point.
So basically what I’m telling you is that if you haven’t checked out Kmart for some back-to-school looks, you need to get on that. Stat.
Today I want to show you an adorable look Darah put together. She just turned 6 and has started first grade (!!! My baby!!!). She has been a really easy child to dress over the years, pretty much letting me put her in whatever I want, as long as it is comfy, and bonus points if it twirls. But when I gave her full rein to pick an outfit at Kmart, she surprised me and went in a different direction!
She opted for an outfit with pants! A major shocker! She fell madly in love with her “snuggly soft” eyelash top from Piper Girl (currently $10.49…prices subject to change). She told me it was so soft that she never wanted to take it off. And she certainly does reach for it first from her clean laundry pile! 🙂
And while I was surprised to see her veer from her standard dress outfit, I really couldn’t blame her when I got a good look at those leggings!
These moto leggings are sparkly to the max, y’all. And just so stinkin’ cute. This is another Piper Girl find, and at present they are just $11.49!
After she put together her top and pants (and didn’t she do well? They look great together!) we headed over to the shoe department, where I was very excited to see that many of their fall shoes were Buy One Get One Half Off. Darah and her little sister both scored these awesome boots.
Once again, Piper Girl was our pick (such a great line! You should check out all their offerings!). These are the Haylee fashion boots, and they are currently priced at $24.99.
To finish off Darah’s great new look, we found a few accessories.
Kmart had this sweet satin headband from Goody at $5.49. A piece like this can go with just about anything, so I know we’ll get our money’s worth out of it in no time!
We also found a set of Joe Boxer heart earrings. These were $7.99, but they came with 6 different pairs, in a variety of colors. This is PERFECT for my girls, who both have pierced ears and who love to switch out their looks.
Finally, we looked for some fierce new underwear for the school year, and Kmart did not disappoint. Darah opted for superhero styles and Layah went for Disney Fairies. Both great choices, and both were priced at $9.99.
I already have plans to head back over to Kmart in the near future to do some more shopping. I was very impressed with the selection and the price points, and I so enjoyed seeing both my girls ooh and ahh over the fun styles. I also enjoyed being surprised by what they picked when given the freedom to choose!
Stay tuned, because in a few days I’m going to show you what my budding fashionista Layah chose for her preschool debut!
There aren’t many Kmarts left in my area, but there is one right in my hometown. I got there often for my daughter (age 4)! Not as much luck in the boys department for my 9-year-old son (lots of skulls, etc. that I’m not ready for him to wear yet), but definitely always have the basics for solid color shorts, clothes for sports practice, etc.
