Back to the Basics
Simplify your Children's Wardrobe
(just bc we are in a recession does not mean you get to shop at Old Navy)

Instead of buying 5 sweaters….just buy 1 from a local business
(Another perK: this will keep your home more organized)

Here are some of my favorite Local Picks from
Whimsies in Barracks Road
Can't get better than a pair of blue jeans (tractor brand…my favorite) and a box of Petit Bateau Long Sleeve Shirts

Obsessed with these Clogs….this could be your 1 big Splurge

A new brand that they are carrying is
SCOTCH SHRUNK….this is a really cool looking brand out of Amsterdam (worth the stop to check it out)

The Label is pretty amazing…..Not only do you get a paper airplane to make…you get a stuffed doll…a cool label and a great looking SHIRT

Everyone is trying to find slippers (especially Montessori Moms and Dads)
Whimsies has a great selection

Enjoy Back to School Shopping….and Forget about Target and Old Navy
I guarantee you will spend less if you focus on needs vs. wants

SHOP LOCAL
IT IS IMPORTANT

SCOUT TIP:  Whimsies is having a 50% OFF summer clothing SALE….I bought Tilly some beautiful summer dresses (50% OFF) and then…. a great winter sweater to wear with the dresses.  Shop SMART.

Please tell them SCOUT Sent YOU
PS Betsy is a Grandmother….so be sure to congratulate her!!
