Kids fashion should be two things – Classy, and fabulous. Affordable is a big bonus too… I love shopping for Abby. I love that she likes shopping for pretty dresses, sparkly shoes, and pretty accessories just as much as I do. It’s so much fun for me to put together pretty outfits for my little girl. I’ve always been a super girly type of girl, so having a daughter that likes to dress up is a big blessing for me. Love it. And one of our fave places to shop is Cookies Kids online. If you’ve never shopped there, I’m going to show you what you’ve been missing, and share a few tips to finding the sweetest discounts too.
“I base most of my fashion sense on what doesn’t itch.” – Gilda Radner
Everyone loves popping onto a website and seeing something like this, right? The big ol’ red clearance notice rocks. And unlike a lot of sites that advertise prices up to 90% off, but only have two items at that type of discount that are probably already sold out – Cookies Kids has seriously sweet deals, and a huge selection. Like my fave recent find – check out this absolutely gorgeous summer dress in a beautiful fabric and print – that I got for $3.99. Seriously. {See my whole shopping trip on Google+.}
“Just around the corner in every woman’s mind – is a lovely dress, a wonderful suit, or entire costume which will make an enchanting new creature of her.” – Wilhela Cushman
Is this super pretty or what? This sweet summer sundress from Penelope Mack was already at an amazing price through Cookies Kids – only $17.99. But now it’s on clearance, bringing it down to $3.99. Wow. And it’s really nice quality – the fabric feels really lush, and the details are awesome – I love the little ruffled neckline, so pretty. And, since Cookies Kids makes it super easy to find what you’re looking for with their great search tools, it’s easy to find all the other super discounted dresses like this too! You can use the tools to narrow down your search to boys or girls, then dresses, then by price, and get a full FIVE pages of gorgeous little girl dresses for less than $5 bucks!
“Funny that a pair of really nice shoes make us feel good in our heads – at the extreme opposite end of our bodies.” – Levende Waters
Not only does Cookies Kids have pretty awesome deals on kids clothes – they carry all of the accessories you need too. Again, it’s super easy to search for what you need – whether it’s socks, hair bands, purses, sunglasses, backpacks, or adorable sparkly Laura Ashley toddler sandals. So pretty. {Ignore Abby’s badly painted toenails…. Lol.} They also have great rainboots, super fun sneakers, and a great selection of infant shoes too. I always use the search buttons to narrow down the shoes by size and price too, to find the best deals available.
“People seldom notice old clothes if you wear a big smile.” – Lee Mildon
To show you how easy it is to put together a whole look with great pieces from Cookies Kids, to dress your kids adorable while still being affordable – I put together this outfit on my Polyvore page, with my fave fashions for little girls this summer. I love, love, love this look. And I’m amazed that you can get such a great bunch of pieces for SO cheap. {We bought all of these pieces except for the jacket that was out of stock in Abby’s size. I’m hoping they get more…} Here’s what we got if you want to check them out too: Another Penelope Mack dress, $6.99. The Laura Ashley sandals I showed you above, $9.99. The super adorable Hello Kitty headband set, $4.99 for a two pack. Adorably trendy toddler sunglasses from Eye Candy for $4.99. That’s $26.96 for a full outfit that’s sure to please any little princess in your life. If you’re in the mood for a little splurge, add this amazing Guess jacket inspired by Rizzo from Grease, for $39.99. SO fun. I would wear this whole outfit. For reals.
“Of all the things you wear, your expression is the most important. So smile.” – Janet Lane

About Cookies Kids
In 1972, a young man named Cookie and his brother Marvin went into business together. They rented a 1600 square foot store in Jamaica, Queens, fixed it up, bought inventory and Summer and Fall, and opened a day after Thanksgiving with a full stock of holiday toys. The toys were a success and they put the extra money toward buying children’s clothing for the next season. When that did well, they bought more clothing. The business was on it’s way. As the brothers Cookie, Marvin and Sonny, who had come in as a third partner in the business, began to open new stores in new locations, inventory expanded. Besides the latest fashions, our customers wanted shoes, toys, backpacks and accessories and we were prepared to deliver. By the late 1990’s there were six superstores throughout the NYC area, and though they previously had different names, by that time they were all named Cookie’s Kids. Also in the late ’90s came an important addition to Cookie’s Kids’ inventory: school uniforms. It was the steady success in uniform sales that paved the way for founding CookiesKids.com in 2007, which originally sold uniforms and soon after the entire Cookie’s Kids Inventory.
