I have to admit that if you came to my house and went in my girls room! ( Yes they share a room) You would probably think that they are spoiled brats! They have many toys and soooooo many clothes. But the truth of it is most of it is not from us, and what is was either from a garage sale or thrift store. I do occasionally shop new but only if it is a killer sale!
That brings me to the JACKPOT!
I have a six year old princess that likes to dress up and role play all the time! Every time we got o the mall we walk through the Disney Store and see all the beautiful costumes. And Na is so good about just admiring them, with such a Wonder in her eyes! You see, I have prepped her from an early age about how expensive they are and that we will never buy them! And I have acquired a few from some garage sales but she is quickly growing out of them! So you can see how I might have felt as I drove past a garage sale and saw a bit of yellow and pink and immediately turned around.
If any of you garage sale you know that if you find something on a Sunday afternoon after 12 noon that is in perfect condition it is probably very overpriced! Yet still I HAD to go take a peek! What did I find? 4, FOUR! Disney Princess Costumes! And let me just say these are not just the Wal-Mart Version(not that I have anything against wal-mart) They were not even the Disney Store Versions! One was from The Disneyland Resort in Paris, On from Disneyland itself and the others were the online Deluxe versions!!! Vary well cared for and size 7/8! Then I saw a little red sticker with the price! $5 Each!!!!
With all that said I just had to share! I am just so glad that teaching Naomi that it is best not to just go buy what you want when you want it but wait until you can find a deal for it has paid off and she can see that firsthand. For $20.00 I could not have even bought one of these dresses for her let alone four! And if any of you have a little girl who wants to be a princess this October just let me know we are willing to share!
SCORE on those princess dresses! They had your name on it!
