There are certain events in life where it’s really great to have an extra special outfit. In my opinion, the first day of school is one of those days. Darah headed back to her Parent’s Day Out program a few weeks ago, and even though it isn’t officially “school,” it felt like it to both of us. I had a supply list and everything as we prepared to head back. And, of course, I got her a “first day of school” outfit.

There’s one place online that is a must to check out anytime you are looking for a special outfit but also aren’t looking to break the bank in order to purchase. My Baby Clothes Boutique has the best selection of baby clothes (and toddler clothes) that are unique and special, and they are all at price points that won’t cause you to hyperventilate.

We selected this Bonnie Jean jumper and couldn’t be more pleased with it! It was a very reasonable $22.99, and looks absolutely fabulous. It has also held up beautifully in the wash! Darah asked to put on her “cute outfit” as soon as it arrived in the mail, and then we went out to the back porch to wait for daddy to come home. I wish I had taken video of how that child twirled around with delight when he saw her. She was SO proud of her new dress!

My Baby Clothes Boutique has an outstanding selection of fall merchandise, but don’t forget the products that have made them famous, either (I’m talking about tutus, baby headbands and baby hats…the cutest on the internet! And also don’t forget to check out their sale section, where you can get incredible deals on precious clothes for your little one, or pick up a great new baby gift for a friend who is expecting!

I don’t know about you, but blogs are one of my primary resources for finding out about fantastic online shopping resources. I’ve gotten so many good deals and found so many wonderful companies and sites thanks to bloggers talking about them! I always like to return the favor when I can, so today I’m highlighting a store that I fell in love with because of their tutus, but what they have to offer goes far beyond that: My Baby Clothes Boutique.

This is my go-to site for super adorable clothes (think of the baby clothes that are perfect for pictures, special occasions, or just for the sheer fun of it!). Some of my favorite items are their baby headbands, and this onein particular.

Have you finished your holiday shopping? Are you still looking for a few great finds for little ones? Today I’m bringing you a store that offer so many great and stylish products, and the prices are kept really low, especially considering the quality and designs that are offered!

I’ve had the pleasure of reviewing My Baby Clothes boutique before, and we were really impressed with our order. Darah got that jaw-dropping adorable tutu (which she is still rockin’, by the way). That tutu has held up beautifully to being worn by a curious and playful toddler, and that’s really saying something! The quality of the tutus found at My Baby Clothes Boutique are high, let me tell you!

I have a few gift suggestions for the baby on your list: What about one of the baby hats found at My Baby Clothes Boutique? If I had a little boy to buy for, this fedora would be high on my list! And for my little one? The hat shown in the picture here is so cute it hurts! And the price is just $9.50…unbeatable!

I’d also like to recommend some adorable baby socks to warm little toes this holiday season! And by the way, if you have a strategy for keeping your baby IN his/her socks, please let me know! 🙂

Win it!: My Baby Clothes Boutique wants to bring some holiday cheer to one lucky Stuff Parents Need reader! You will score a $25 gift certificate to their site!

Welcome to the First Birthday Bash celebration! I will be featuring excellent gift ideas for brand new toddlers all week, in honor of Darah turning 1!

One of the things I have been wanting to do for a (DIY) birthday photo shoot with Darah is to have her in a tutu. But not just any old tutu. I needed to find one that was extra adorable (because “adorable” is already standard for a tutu). And of course, the perfect tutu for my little one year old (almost!) has presented itself.

Oh. My. Word.

I can hardly stand how cute it is! Look at the precious petals and leaves! And I’m so pleased to report that Darah has a blast playing with this tutu, most likely because there are fun things inside to touch and move around. To have Darah in such a playful mood when she wears this helps the odds of snapping some cute photos go up by about 1,000%!
So where did I find this fetching fru fru must-have? I’m glad you asked! You can snag one for your own itty bitty ballerina at My Baby Clothes Boutique. In my opinion, My Baby Clothes Boutique is one of the very best places on the web to find outfits that are perfect for special occasions and photo shoots, but that are still comfortable enough that your baby won’t cry when wearing them because they are uncomfortable. They have done a great job of finding really adorable pieces your baby will actually wear!

Additionally, you probably already know that “special occasion” clothing for babies and toddlers can be outrageously expensive. I think the prices at My Baby Clothes Boutique are much easier to stomach than at most places, and that goes right along with the mission statement from their site, “At MyBabyClothesBoutique.com we strive to bring you the most fashion forward and trendy baby clothes on the web, all at a Guaranteed Lowest Price!” So you can shop with confidence knowing that you’ll be hard-pressed to find anything cuter, and you definitely won’t find it any cheaper!

Buy it!: The tutu featured in this post is currently on sale for $25.20, which is a fantastic price for something so beautiful. Be sure to check out the rest of their extensive sale selection. You don’t want to forget those beautiful baby headbands to complete the tutu outfit. The baby shoes are to die for. Like these adorable sandals are marked down to $10! Or these ballerina slippers.

Win it!: My Baby Clothes Boutique wants to give one lucky Stuff Parents Need Reader a $25 gift certificate, good toward any purchase on their site! Yay! The contest will run until August 11th at 7:59pm CST when a winner will be selected using Random.org. The winner will have 48 hours to respond to the winning email notification before the prize is forfeited and a new winner is drawn. Limit one entrant per household, please. Open to residents of the United States.

Mandatory entry: Tell me your favorite item from the list of baby clothes best sellers!
