“What you wear is how you present yourself to the world, especially today, when human contacts are so quick. Fashion is instant language.” – Miuccia Prada… Sure, fashion can seem silly to some people. But we all know that what you wear can really change your mood. In a cute dress and strappy heels I carry myself differently, and have a fun boost of confidence. When I’m in yoga pants and a loose tee, I feel comfy and cozy. So I’ve always loved fashion, and the way it can totally transform my day. But, as a mom on a tight budget, I’m all about AFFORDABLE fashion for families! So, today I want to share a few awesome sites that I use to get designer clothing and accessories, for my whole family, at super discounted prices. And when you partner them with sites and cards that give you cash back on your online purchases too – well, there’s not much better than that! I’ll start with kiddo stuff, and move towards grown up gear – check it out, yo:
Great deals on kids outfits – FabKids.com – I love, love, LOVE this site. It helps take the guesswork out of shopping for little girls – To get started, just sign up for a free account, and then answer a few questions about your little one, and what types of styles you’re looking for. Then you get personalized recommendations like the ones above {no surprise that they suggest the adorable U R My Sunshine collection for us, right?} – and the option to buy the full outfit at a discount, and often a freebie piece or two. Extra bonus? Get $20 in FREE credit to use on their site, every time you refer a friend who joins you there! Sign up today, and get 50% off of your first outfit, or Buy One Outfit Get One Free, your choice :) – {not sure how long that will last?}
Buy and sell high-quality kids clothes – ThreadUp.com – This is not only an awesome way to get amazing deals on kids clothes, but it’s also a super easy way to get rid of those outgrown pieces your kids no longer wear, and earn some extra cash too! You can save up to 80% off great brands like Carters, Gymboree, and more. It’s like an online consignment shop – and they have strict standards on what they accept. Read them, then request a free shipping bag so you can send in all of your own outgrown gear to earn from. Then get $10 off your first order of practically new kids’ clothes by using this link!
Save BIG money on awesome designer gear for moms and kids – on Plum District.com – Some of you might remember the amazing voucher I bought recently on Plum District, that helped me get a personalized and customized Radio Flyer wagon {with seat covers, canopy, cup and cell phone holders, and even Abby’s name on it!} for only about $60 bucks. If not – here’s another awesome example – This is like getting half off at Emilie M handbags – {which is a huge fave of mine – I loved my pumpkin colored handbag this fall.} They have deals on everything from infant clothing, toys, and gear – to high-end clothing and accessories for moms. Join Plum District to get deals By Moms, For Moms – Click Here – and earn credits each time you share with friends who buy too!

Your Dream Shoe Closet is Just a Click Away With JustFab.com – Again, this is another site that customizes deals just for you. So, you fill out a few questions – things like heels or flats, strappy or bootie, browns or blacks. Then they automatically search their whole giant site to find the perfect shoes for you – making it simple to find your favorites. And they’re ALL never more than $39.95, no matter how high the regular retail price is. They even have designer handbags and jewelry too. And right now, if you want to join me and the other more than 3.5 million well-heeled FABshionistas on JustFab, you’ll get your first 2 pairs of shoes for only $39.95! Oh yeah – one more sweet perk… Share the sweet dealios with friends, and get a free pair of shoes!!!
All the designer discount fashions at the most amazing prices – on RueLaLa.com – I adore RueLaLa. They are one of the best at having a big selection of sales – from women’s clothes, to awesome bags and accessories, kids clothes and gear – and mens clothes too! You’ll find brands like Yves Saint Laurent, Puma, Calvin Klein, BedHead, and so much more. This is another site that chooses not to spend cash on much advertising, and instead knows that once you see how rad they are, you’ll love sharing the deals with your friends. So they give you $10 for that! Learn more and discover premier-brand, private sale Boutiques on RueLaLa today.
Find familiar faves while discovering hidden gems – Shop accessories on ShopLately – Ok, I was always a fan of ShopLately. But when they did their recent Blogger Week deals, where some of my FAVE bloggy ladies got to share their picks for best fashions, and they were all available at big discounts? Well, that sealed the deal with me. And – you get $15 each time a friend joins you there, and more bonuses when they make their first purchase. Sweet deal!
Learn about more ways to shop online for free – So, like I said – I love to shop. I love fashion. I love being able to get Abby the cutest gear, so she can be the trendiest tot at every playdate. And I love that she loves sparkly bracelets and fun shoes just as much as I do. But, I refuse to pay full price, overpriced designer prices, or shipping fees. So – I use sites like the ones in this post, the tips in my 15 Awesome Ways to Shop for Free, and combine it all with cash back shopping sites like zuuzs, SwagBucks, Ebates, or Inbox Dollars, – plus, I use a PayPal Mastercard for all online shopping. When I run it as credit, I earn MORE cash back on each purchase too! All of those things combine to help me shop for my family in style, and on budget. You can do it too!
Friends don’t let friend’s pay full price – so share this post… :)

How cute are those clothes? I wish Sierra were still into that kind of stuff. She’s more into sweats and t-shirts…just like ME! I dress up maybe once every few months, and that still consists of jeans and a nice shirt. I haven’t worn a skirt or a dress in YEARS!
I was just thinking today that I need to get my daughter some spring/summer clothes soon. This is great!
I like the say goodbye to mall meltdowns tip. THe only problem is this applies to ME too!
I like the Maxi Dress.

JustFab is my favorite :) As for my own finds…usually come from TJ Maxx or Burlington!
i usually find my fab finds from kohls, ross, or tjmaxx:)
I would love to try the Wittlebee service. It would be a load off to have my kids clothes delivered
I like Just Fab, just wish they had more plus sizes
Great post! I find most of my deals in store at places like Cato. They mark down their items until they sell. They mark down accessories (shoes, belts, purses, jewelry) one Sunday and the next Sunday they do clothes. I go in on Mondays :D I have found over ten pairs of size 11 shoes marked down from $16-25 to $2.99-5
I love Plum District, Totsy and JustFab! I shop through these 3 on a regular basis along with Zulilly! I have found numerous great find through them! Dd already has 2 pairs of tennies for next year because I just couldn’t beat the price but they weren’t in the size she is wearing now! LOL
