Baby girl's closet is shaping up nicely thanks to some of momma and dadda's shopping splurges this past holiday weekend! Hubby and I spent late Saturday morning and early afternoon at The Citadel Outlet Mall aka "The Zombie Fortress". Huh?
See hubby calls it a Zombie fortress because the outside of the outlet mall is decorated like a big medieval castle that gives the appearance of a well protected fortress. Every time we pass the outlet mall, which is a lot because we are always passing it on the way to Disneyland, hubby mentions that in a zombie attack we should head to this outlet mall for protection from the brain eating creatures. I am not sure about you but I think of zombie attacks all the time....NOT...oh the things boys think of in their heads!!
On Saturday, when we arrived (after a crazy misguided exit from the freeway that took us in circles) I think hubby was sad to find out the wall doesn't actually enclose the shopping outlet and it's only the front of the outlet that has the big wall. There goes our protection in a Zombie attack!
Typically, I am not a big shop to you drop mall person. Usually, when I shop at a mall, I don't go to every store, only a few of my favorites so my shopping is targeted and quick. But now that I have baby girl on the way my shopping experience has been improved by 100 fold because I am going into stores I had never entered before such as Baby Gap, Gymboree, Carter's, The Children's Place, etc. and all of thes stores have items that I have never gave a second thought to before, namely baby clothes. Instead at looking at dumb jeans that will never fit my thights I am now looking at clothes for baby girl and she doesn't care about her thighs. So not only do I have new stuff to look at but shopping at my favorite department stores is even better because I have the baby department to visit now as well.
Well, I must have decided to go to the outlet at a good time because we hit some really good deals. At Carter's everything was 50% off.
I got baby girl a tiny, tiny red satin Christmas dress and sweater for her to wear at Christmas, assuming she makes her appearance out of the womb prior to the holiday. If not, it will be a swell New Year's Eve dress.
We also got several other goodies. Her closet is actually shaping up quite nicely. Hubby told me I need to quit now which I will try to do but the last time I got to play dress up was when I was dressing up my dollies when I was 5 years old.
Frankly, it's just too darn fun seeing all the cute stuff they have out there. The best part, everything I am buying is all on sale so really, I haven't been too bad.
Here is a couple pictures of baby girl's closet.
