I love it when we get to mix and match or even have time for a quick outfit change. It adds variety to a session and a personal touch. But where does everyone always get those cute outfits?! If you’re like me, you never get to go to the store- I haven’t seen the inside of a grocery store since Walmart started doing free pick up, and forget about browsing my local Target. So, if you are short on time like I am, here is my go-to list to make shopping a breeze! (Also check out Top 7 Tips To Dress Your Kid)
Here are my favorite places to look for cute outfits for your next session!
