We have our little guy's court date for his re-adoption next week and I want to get him something nice to wear (for those scrapbook pages if I ever get the chance to scrap again). I want him to look cute but kind of feel guilty spending a lot of money on a fancy outfit that might not get alot of wear. I know there are a lot of great shoppers on the forum. Any suggestions?
Thanks,

Two words: CONSIGNMENT SHOPS!!!

I am ADDICTED!!! I find such great stuff there for my kids - brand names for a fraction of the retail price. (I should do a commercial for them!! )

We have a Children's Orchard here that is AWESOME and I always go to first before I EVER go to the Mall. (Maybe you can google "Children's Orchard" and see if you have one near you. They are all independently-run and some are better than others. Ours is the BEST I've ever been to!)

Then - after he has worn it, take it back (along with the other stuff he has out-grown) and get part of your money back!!

My second favorite place is TJ Maxx.

I've gotten three suits for Jaden from our local thrift store. (I also got brown and black dress shoes). Each suit cost approximately $3.
