affordable clothing - Stuff Parents Need

Since I work from home and am rarely in a situation where I need to look super polished and trendy, my clothes and accessory shopping habits are much different from when I had a 9-5 job. While I still like to look cute, I buy roughly 80% of my clothes at my favorite thrift store. And because I have 2 small kids, trips to the mall are not only difficult to coordinate, they are also not much fun, so I rarely go. The up side to this season of life is that I am saving quite a bit of money!

But isn’t the internet amazing? I can shop online for cute and trendy clothes that my wardrobe might need to lok more updated, and I can do it at 4am when I first wake up and have a bit of quiet time to myself. LOVE THAT!!! I do love to shop online, and I’m always looking for places that have killer deals and reasonable shipping costs. I think many of you are always on the lookout for the same thing.

That’s why I’m so excited to share a great find I’ve made for clothes: 10dollarmall.com. This place has a ridiculously huge selection of trendy clothes and accessories for men and women, and even some things for kids, and NOTHING is more than $10! Many things cost less! I also appreciate that the shipping is very fairly priced. If you spend $50 or more, then shipping is simply 10% of the subtotal.

I recently had the opportunity to spend $75 total on the site, which means that I found $just under $70 worth of stuff, and used the rest of the money for shipping. I was shaking my head in disbelief at how many awesome things I put in my cart. And honestly, after I submitted my order, I said to myself, “Yeah right. I’ll believe that I actually got that much stuff for $75 when it shows up on my doorstep. Not holding my breath.”

But it really DID show up, and it is SO much fun! Here are some of the highlights:

Totally adorable shirt that is perfect for spring! I’ve also got on some cute dangly earrings that match!

girls' hair accessories from 10dollarmall.com

TONS of clips and hair ties for my girls!

An unbelievable amount of jewelry!!!

In addition to the items pictured above, I also got some really cute crocheted gloves that I’ll use next fall, and I got an athletic cut shirt for my husband that looks fantastic on him. It is a really cool deep teal color. Love it! He loves it, too, because it is super soft.

What else can I say, folks? 10dollarmall.com is an AMAZING resource for fun jewelry, dresses, shoes, and all sorts of other stuff. Yes, of course, there are some things that are probably not going to be your style. But it is worth spending a little extra time on the site weeding through all the options, because you WILL strike gold if you keep digging! And you can sort by size to help you hunt faster, too!

If you are on the hunt for online clothes bargains, and especially for some trendy stuff to bring your wardrobe up to date, please check out 10dollarmall.com. And want to know something REALLY awesome? If you refer your friends to get signed up and they spend at least $10 on the site, you get a $10 credit back to the shop. There’s NO limit on how many credits you can earn! So spread the word and earn some spending money!

On Memorial Day, we headed out to the Memphis Zoo to enjoy the beautiful weather and the super-cool animals. I really enjoyed getting ready for the zoo that morning because I had a fun new top to wear! Check out my Appliq-A-OK Tank from DownEast Basics. I think this is the perfect choice for any fashion-conscious lady who still has to live in the real world and can’t dress like the girls in Sex and the City. As a working mom, I love the fact that this top is going to be doing double-duty for me. It is comfortable and simple enough to wear when casually bopping around town and going to places like the zoo. But just throw a blazer over it and you are ready for business, literally! It can be a challenge to find pieces that can hold their own simultaneously at the ballpark and in the boardroom, but this shirt is definitely one of them. And the price is oh-so wallet friendly, retailing at just $22.99.

This is the second item in my closet from DownEast Basics, and it certainly won’t be the last. Their pieces are cut so that they fit but aren’t skin-tight. They are flattering, current, but not so trendy that they’ll be outdated by this time next year. I love that!

If you are unfamiliar with DownEast Basics, I really encourage you to take a look around. You’ll find so many items that are cute at a price that leaves room for all those things you have to buy for the baby! A few of my favorite pieces are the Santa Barbara halter swimsuit, and the cupid cardigan. So cute!
