My Favorite Places to Shop for Family Photos

Getting clothes together for a whole family can be hard! I only have two kids (three if you count my husband) and I have a hard time, so you bigger families really have your work cut out for you! I thought I would try and make it a little easier getting all those outfits together by sharing my favorite places to shop for the kids and myself.

1.       Thrift Stores

Ok, don’t judge me here but I LOVE to shop at thrift stores. I have found some AWESOME deals at thrift stores that include: a brand new pair of American Eagle jeggings in my EXACT size, tons of clothes from H&M and The Children’s Place for my boys, and a Burberry baby boy cardigan for $4!!! You definitely have to sift through a lot of crap sometimes, but especially when I’m looking for something specific that might only get worn once or twice I always check at a thrift store first. You never know right? In the picture below I found my husband’s and youngest son’s shirt at a local thrift store. The shirt wasn’t my husband’s favorite so he only wore it once, but that’s ok since it was only $8! Here in Albuquerque I haven’t had the greatest luck with Good Will, but I love The Family Thrift Store on Juan Tabo, and Other Mothers off of Montgomery. Whenever I’m somewhere that has a DI I usually hit that up while I’m there too.

2.       The Children’s Place

If you’re a super planner and you know in advance what you’re looking for when it comes to outfit planning, then keep an eye on the Children’s Place for some killer deals. It seems like they always have some sort of sale going on, but when they have their mega discounts on their sale items it’s awesome. They have some cute stuff!

3.       H&M

I LOVE H&M for my boys’ clothes. They have the cutest things, and if I could afford it I would totally buy their whole wardrobe from there. I used to shop there all the time for myself as well, I haven’t as much lately. Probably because I’m getting to be old and now shop at old lady clothes stores.

4.       ROOLEE!

I have super been loving Roolee lately. They have the CUTEST stuff, and I love practically every single item they have in their store. Their dresses are super cute, and there are a ton of different styles. They also recently just came out with a kids line, I haven’t tried it yet but I’m sure it’s good stuff.

Some other random places I’ve gotten good stuff at before is Mikarose for modest dresses, BOON ties has the best ties and bow ties (seriously cute patterns), and Jane.com (it’s boutique clothing and other goods at sale prices). Unfortunately I don’t know of a lot of local clothing places, so if you have any suggestions (local or non-local) I would love to hear them in the comments! Happy shopping!
