Updating the Kids Wardrobes for Fall (Garage Sale Style)

I have been trying to update Abe's wardrobe for the fall lately.  We are blessed to get a TON of hand-me-downs from my sister but more recently it has been obvious that my nephew and Abe were born in different seasons.  Most of the clothes we had in his size recently were winter clothes so naturally we were in need of winter clothes for the actual fall/winter that is coming soon.

I was trying to find a time to make it to the outlet mall (dangerously about 10 minutes from our house) but hadn't yet.

Last Friday in an effort to get out of the house, I looked on Craigslist for some garage sales and found a few in the same neighborhood nearby. But when we arrived, I realized it was actually the WHOLE neighborhood that was having a sale!  About every third house had a sale so we spent some time getting in and out of the car and doing a little walking with our new double stroller as well.

We actually did so well on Friday that we went back on Saturday morning (again just the kiddos and me) to do some more shopping.  All in all, I was thrilled with what we got!  We spent about $40 total and we got a ton of hardly-worn clothes!  That definitely beats the outlet mall prices!

Here's what I got for my kids:






And I picked up a few bigger sizes for my nephew:
