Thank you Old Navy for sponsoring my post today about baby and toddler styles. Old Navy is giving you 30% off everything in their baby and toddler summer collection, plus get an additional 15% off in-store.
The second I found out I was pregnant with a little boy, I wanted to dress him up in a tie. There is just something about a tiny baby wearing decidedly grown-up looking clothes that makes me grin. Even while he was still in my belly, I pretended he had on a tiny little business suit during meetings at work.
Six months has gone by and he still hasn’t worn a proper tie, but we’ve come close. I’m all about baby style, whether it’s hipster with a tie, jeans and grandpa sweater:
Mommy's Little Hipster
or Frat boy chic:
or playing-outside-on-a-blanket casual.
Honestly, my son’s closet is way better than mine, and we’ve spent next to nothing filling it up. Here are some ways we’ve clothed our sharped dress baby for a song:
- Shop sales. We have a bunch of clothes from places like Kohls, Children’s Place and Old Navy we bought on clearance. I love looking at the seasonal clothing in a bigger size so I can put it away for next year. Sure, he can’t fit into it now, but come Thanksgiving, he’ll be rocking his “Grandma makes the best turkey!” shirt in style.
- Shop consignment stores. Before Baby Blogworthy was born, Hubby and I went on a shopping spree at a consignment store that was having a sale and everything marked down was $1. Some of the clothes were previously worn, but in great condition. Some of them still had tags. Considering he wears some of this outfits approximately one time, consignment clothes are where it’s at.
- Grandma to the rescue! Ok, maybe I’m just lucky, but my Mom and mother-in-law like to spoil the pants onto that kid. Like, brand new pants they send in batches. There is a Carter’s outlet in the direct path of Hurricane Grammie that sweeps up all the cutest outfits and brings them to my house.
So those are some tips from me that y’all probably already know because you were all Moms way before I became one.
What’s your favorite baby style?

Baby Blogworthy is adorable. I buy a lot of kids clothes at Old Navy.
I’m really feeling that frat boy chic style up there. Your baby really is quite cute.
He is a very fashionable baby! Love the frat boy chic look!

my wife LOVES overalls. not on her, but on our little guy. While it makes it near impossible to change him in an emergency situation, I have to agree with her – they’re pretty darn cute.
Also Baby Blogworthy = super cute. I’m not much of a fan of Frat Boys, but the frat boy look on him is extra-awesome.

How adorable! I think that frat boy chic is my favorite out of all of the pics! And that’s how I tend to dress my little guy.
And consignment stores are the best place to find great deals for little kids! I always find a lot of clothes that are practically brand new and I really love it when I find the brand new stuff!
He is seriously so adorable! I always wished that I had a boy to dress him up in the cutest little baby clothes. Too bad we didn’t get Jacob until he was 5. He does not like being dressed up but the kid does have some serious style. Obviously, because I buy his clothes for him.
I love when Paige was a baby because I didn’t have to buy her any clothes until she was at least 2 years old. My mom went crazy when I found out I was having a girl. I do love Old Navy for their baby and kids’ clothes. They have such great prices and great sales too!

My favorite is Captain Adorable, although I have a soft spot for “old man sweaters” as my husband calls them. Baby blogworthy is very-very cute!

He’s too cute! I like the frat boy look. When my boys were babies I shopped at Old Navy, Gymboree, Childrens Place, and Baby Gap. Dressing them up was so much fun. I miss those days.
He is so stinkin’ adorable!! I LOVE Old Navy and Baby Gap for cute little man clothes
LOVE the new look around here! And LOVE the baby pics! He is sooooo adorable!
Ok, I have to say I most like the frat boy chic, but the tie? Effing hilarious!
I adore consignment stores. I have sort of a “problem” in that my friend has a girl 2 years older than Wee ‘Burb and so gives me all the clothes. And she got them from HER sister who had twin girls. So, we have the most obnoxiously full closet. Which for laundry purposes I love. But sometimes I see something I want to buy her and I feel too guilty because she has so MUCH already. So when I do have the bug, I buy her stuff on ebay or at a consignment store.

Such a cutie. He looks great in that tie. Right now our style is mostly sleepers. I love a baby in a snuggly sleeper!

I love the frat boy look, even though I’m not always fond of frat boys! I once found a shirt for a baby girl at a consignment store for $1 that had the original tag on it from Saks Fifth Ave–$55!
