Name brand clothes often show up (often in lots) on ebay the next season. Take a peek there (search "Gymboree" and your wanted size) and see what I mean. If you waited till, say, spring, you'd probably be able to find it used. Don't know if you're the secondhand type (I unashamedly am - big thrift store fan here!), but if you are, it's a great way to get cheap, good quality clothes with just a bit of wear.<br><br>Also, if you like hairbows, check out etsy. You can get anything there - custom made, often - for a fair price, and you'll be supporting an actual craftswoman.<br><br>Anyway, just my two cents, if you're looking for another way to do it.<br><br>p.s. Not exactly what you were looking for, but how's this? http://cgi.ebay.com/NWT-GYMBOREE-Pink-Snowflake-Princess-Dress-18-24M-NEW_W0QQitemZ200267781461QQihZ010QQcategoryZ147181QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem<br><br>or this: http://cgi.ebay.com/NWT-Gymboree-SNOW-PRINCESS-Velour-Snowflake-Dress-4-4T_W0QQitemZ260303221375QQihZ016QQcategoryZ163458QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem<br><br>some are new with tags, too!Jessicahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17185831697537364088noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7439109790681220541.post-78939058082933661592008-10-26T14:52:18.626-07:002008-10-26T14:52:18.626-07:00WHATEVER you do, do not buy that dress/combination...WHATEVER you do, do not buy that dress/combination.

I am sorry, but I bought it for you - the whole outfit, with a 25% off coupon I had. I got the dress, hair bows, and tights in size 3-6 months, and the "one of a kind" shirt in size 3. Even if you can't use it for a girl, you can save it for a later child or give it to another snowflake mommy. <br><br>I have been through IF firsthand, so I just wanted to "help the cause" so to speak, and you are a true inspiration to me. I know how important hope is. Even though Phoenix is a bit hot for this type of outfit, you can use it for a photo session if needed.<br><br>Email me at Li.tterOf.1 @gmail.com (without periods.) and I will send the outfit to a non-personal PO box address for you. Hugs and keep your chin up through the meds and household remodeling!LitterOf1http://www.blogger.com/profile/17535027878668370949noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7439109790681220541.post-8740426560308843612008-10-26T16:01:55.117-07:002008-10-26T16:01:55.117-07:00My painting rule of thumb is to go one shade light...My painting rule of thumb is to go one shade lighter than the color you think you like best.

It's going to be great when it's all done - and I actually like all of the colors, we have some similar ones throughout much of our main floor. But I do realize picking paint is such a challenge, LOL! Hope you get one you love soon - I do like your #1 pick also - but the others are great too :-) ((hugs))sarahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05816972200056579468noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7439109790681220541.post-82688882900873692672008-10-27T05:45:23.709-07:002008-10-27T05:45:23.709-07:00That's all right litterof1, I was pretty sure ...That's all right litterof1, I was pretty sure that if I didn't pick it up for her, someone else would!<br><br>I admittedly have several snowflake outfits stashed away, just waiting...<br><br>Your poor kid and the Phoenix weather.Erica Ellishttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13287111227397021695noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7439109790681220541.post-19364793765834455052008-10-27T11:25:20.179-07:002008-10-27T11:25:20.179-07:00Gymboree IS outrageously priced, but you know what...Gymboree IS outrageously priced, but you know what? It's really well-made, the colors never fade, and spit-up stains magically disappear. I would never buy full price (although I love the little boy Christmas collection!), but when I find stuff on sale, it's totally worth it. I feel the same way about OshKosh jeans and overalls! They last forever. :) <br><br>Now you just have to cross your fingers for a girl... <br><br>So glad to hear your medication is treating you better!

So cute. Too expensive. You will find something JUST as cute and not as pricey! They make cute stuff every year!! ;D<br><br>It sounds like things are going well for you.
