As a mom, currently a full-time student, I know how difficult it can be when it comes to purchasing children’s clothing. Fortunately I've been blessed with family & friends who were very generous with my baby shower gifts & by those means was able to purchase a great deal of things including some of my daughter's clothing. Some people may find it silly to dress up an infant in expensive or semi-expensive clothing because it will not be used for a long period time. I beg to differ because are these not the most memorable times of their and our lives? We take constant photos of them, growing, getting smarter, looking more like mommy and daddy (whoever) so why can't they look they're best? It's not the length of time or amount of use they'll get out of wearing those clothes but the memories they'll make in them. With that said, I don't mean go out and buy a $100.00 dress for a basic occasion haha but don't shy away from spending 20-40 dollars on an outfit that they can use a few times. It's ok to indulge the beautiful fashionable creations if you have the means to do so. I personally was a shopaholic pre-mommy-hood. I love clothes, accessories, the works! Having a daughter changed it all for me. I still buy myself items on occasion but I get such a wonderful high off of buying her clothing & accessories. I always make sure & always will make sure my daughter looks  her best. One place which I never used to shop at for myself was GAP, I received a gift card from a family member for babyGap and I have to honestly say I was a bit hesitant. However, I went to a location close to my home and I stopped in to see what they had for the children... Needless to say now I am addicted! Their clothes are just thee cutest! A lot of the outfits fit my style for her perfectly and even match some of my pieces of clothing which is a big thumbs up! Although, the prices can be a tad bit "up there" ranging as high as in the 40's depending on how new the item is and what size category your child is in, I admit in my personal experience the quality is well worth it. With that said, I spent the whole gift card ($50.00 USD) that day. I was completely happy with my purchase and her clothes, all except the black leggings I bought, still fit her to this day and she is almost 5 months old (meaning the clothes have been in her armoire for 3 1/2 months, which I think is was exceptional because some infants only get to wear their clothes one time due to such rapid growth spurts. I'll be posting photos of the clothes I purchased for her that day. I will also be posting photos of my last visit to babyGap about 2 weeks ago (New Years Eve to be precise). Her father picked out this gorgeous floral dress & we ordered a band jacket online that was too adorable to pass up. Unfortunately I do not have the prices for the older items I purchased but I post the amounts with the latest 2 items we picked up for her. Anyone else shop at babyGap? Think it's too expensive, just right, the quality fit the price? Leave me your feed back; I'd love to know what everyone thinks! X0X0 CIA0! -Jaylin 

Please ignore the wrinkles in the band jacket, since it was shippied to us in this cold, cold weather this is how it arrived. It will be ironed prior to her wearing it of course! lol Any questions regarding any of the above items please feel free to send me a message!
