Let’s talk about Easter. It happens to be one of my favorite holidays because of what it stands for. I also love going to church and out to eat on Easter Sunday just to see what everyone is wearing. I can almost promise you that you will find the brightest, most colorful outfits worn on this day. Come on, you know I’m right.
I can’t tell you the last time I bought a new Easter dress. I just always thought I had better things to buy with my money in the spring like a new pair of jeans or something. But I have fallen into the trap. I admit it. I wanted K to have a bright, new dress for Easter. But I don’t think you should break the bank to do it. Here are some ideas to save some money on Easter outfits.
If you want a totally new outfit, go to your local outlet or consignment store to get that one-of-a-kind outfit that would brighten anyone’s day.
Find a great staple piece in your child’s wardrobe and just get new accessories or flowered/pastel/striped piece to add to it.
If you can stand it, do the simple thing and WAIT. The weekend before Easter, all the beautiful outfits for kids will go on sale. You know you have kicked yourself more than once for seeing something you just bought go on sale the week after you get it.
I chose the first option and have gotten K’s Easter frock for less than $10 fro the Children’s Place. Did I just say “frock”? I can handle that.
I got AE’s first Easter dress from a consignment store. It was so cute and I could tell that it was an expensive dress. It came with a cute little matching embroidered sweater too. I only paid $6 for it. The next year I bought her a really cute pink pastel dress with polka dots from Target for only $9.
I know. I love my consignment store. Kids grow out of their clothes so fast. Consignment sales are the best way to go on a budget.
