As some of you might know, I’m taking my family back home to Perú in a couple of weeks. I am ecstatic. Looking forward to eating tons of ceviche and helado de lucuma while hanging out with all the people I love so dearly. My family has yet to meet my son, Santiago, and I get to spend my birthday over there — something I haven’t done since I was a child.
But one of the things I’m looking forward to the most is getting away from the cold since it’s summer in that part of the hemisphere right now! However, this has meant looking for children’s summer clothes in the dead of winter. I kept some of my daughter’s clothes from last summer, but only a few things fit since she’s grown some since then. My son, on the other hand, has absolutely no summer clothes, save for a bunch of second-hand T-shirts I got from a good friend’s son. Still, no shorts whatsoever.
I have to admit it was kind of weird to shop for summer clothes while it was snowing outside, I was super happy when I realized that not only did Old Navy already have summer clothes for the kids, but they’re also having a mega sale — both online and at stores — on their kids and baby clothing until Feb. 17th. There’s also a coupon for an additional 25% off on any one item (in store only) which you can find here.
The first thing my daughter went for were the bathing suits since the one thing she’s loving the most about the idea of going to Perú is that we’ll be going to the beach! She hasn’t been to la playa since May of last year in Miami.
I’ve always loved Old Navy for their affordable clothing since kids, especially when they’re my son’s age, outgrown stuff so quickly! But what I’ve always really, really liked is that a lot of their T-shirts are made in Perú, with our world-renown cotton which is super soft!
I ended up getting 4 cargo shorts for Santiago, one graphic T-shirt, one polo shirt and one shirt which he’s wearing on this picture together with one of the belted cargo shorts. I can’t get over how cute and big he looks!
For Vanessa, I bought a pair of patchwork bermudas which she’s wearing on this picture with one of two tank tops. I also got her two graphic T-shirts. Now both my kids are pretty much ready to swap the snow for the sand all for just $100! Want to see how much you can get at Old Navy for your babies and kids with $100?
